Kylie Jenner's Video Tribute To Her Son Sparks Rumors Of A Feud With Caitlyn
Kylie Jenner has taken to motherhood like a duck to water. The reality star-turned-billionaire business mogul is now a mom-of-two. Kylie and her rapper baby daddy, Travis Scott, were already parents to daughter Stormi when their son, formerly known as Wolf Jacques Webster, arrived in February 2022, per TMZ. Like everything else in Kylie-world, on the surface, she made it look like doubling the mothering workload was no biggie.
However, the new mom decided to keep it real. Kylie opened up about suffering from a case of postpartum blues in a series of Instagram Stories (via L'Officiel). She said the aftermath of her second pregnancy wasn't anything like her first. Kylie admitted to not struggling "mentally, physically or spiritually" previously, like she had this time around. Luckily, however, she has a vast and loving support network, including her partner, siblings, nieces, nephews, and mom.
Kylie posted a video montage on her social, comprising all the special, key moments throughout her second pregnancy. All of the Kardashians made an appearance — except for camera-shy Rob. Kris and Kendall Jenner were there, too, of course. Proud dad Scott took a starring role along with Kylie's baby bump. Little Stormi, however, stole the show with her unbearable cuteness. Kylie also posted a selection of poignant and intimate photos on her Insta. However, one close family member was noticeably absent from it all — and it set tongues wagging. In fact, Kylie's video tribute to her son has sparked rumors of a feud with Caitlyn Jenner.
Where's Caitlyn?
Rumors are flying that something's rotten in the state of Jenner. Fans on Reddit and around the Twitterverse have been speculating a brewing feud between Kylie Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner — especially after the latter announced Kylie's pregnancy before she and Travis Scott did.
The rumor mill was already in motion, but the parents-to-be hadn't confirmed they were expecting again. Both Kylie and Travis kept mum — as did the rest of the Kardashian clan. However, according to TMZ, while the California gubernatorial candidate was on the campaigning trail, she let the cat out of the bag — revealing her 19th grandchild was "in the oven."
Caitlyn continued to blab following the baby boy's birth. In an interview with "Good Morning Britain," she confirmed Kylie and Travis had welcomed a son and talked about how the couple was doing. "They're great. Kylie's doing great; everybody's doing good," Caitlyn shared. She also revealed that she'd met the newborn. Which, once again, begs the question, why didn't she appear in the video? Perhaps Caitlyn's become just as camera shy as Rob — because as Mercury News notes, Caitlyn was absent from Kylie's first pregnancy video also.
'Careful' with the Kardashians
Caitlyn Jenner also opened up about meeting her 19th grandchild in an interview with "Good Morning Britain" a week after his birth in February 2022, responding after being asked about Piers Morgan if she'd been introduced to the youngster, "Yes, I have... The family is growing." But it sounds like Caitlyn has to tread pretty lightly when it comes to speaking about her famous family, admitting on the British morning show, "I've got to be very quiet, I've got to be sensitive, careful when I talk about the family." Could that explain why the gang have been conspicuously absent from her social media accounts and vice versa?
Just don't expect to see Caitlyn bonding with Kylie's new baby on the Kardashians' Hulu reality show — aptly titled "The Kardashians" — though. Caitlyn was noticeably absent for the promos and addressed not being a part of it on Twitter on March 11. "I was there when this started from day one. I watched it grow. And doing the show for almost 20 seasons was one of the highlights of my life... Happy that it continues for my family," she wrote, noting it was "unfortunate to not be given the opportunity to continue with the show." She added, "With that said, I cannot emphasize enough how happy I am for my family that it continues!" Caitlyn later admitted there was "no bad blood," but tweeted she was "shocked" after learning via the press that she was not involved.
The Kardashian tension
As rumors swirl about Caitlyn Jenner's relationship with Kylie Jenner though, it's no secret that Caitlyn hasn't exactly had the closest relationship with the Kardashian/Jenner clan since she and Kris Jenner officially divorced in 2015. Caitlyn opened up about where she stands with her family members on Australia's "Big Brother VIP" in November 2021, admitting there was still some residual tension, particularly with her ex. "I would say from my standpoint, our relationship is not as good as it should be," she admitted of where things stand with Kris (per Daily Mail). "I don't have any hard feelings towards her. I wish it was closer, but it's not. Our relationship is okay, but I think it could be better, just because of the kids. It's always about how the mother and father get along together, is it easy, is it good, when they see each other, is there any tension? This is reality."
And while Caitlyn seemed pretty vocal about her biological daughter, Kylie Jenner's, big news, she's seemingly been a little less keen to comment on the goings on of her former stepchildren. When Kourtney Kardashian got engaged to Travis Barker in October 2021, for example, Caitlyn kept her lips firmly sealed when asked what she thought of the big news by a Daily Mail photographer. Silence is golden? Potentially.
