Kylie Jenner is now 27! The beauty and makeup mogul turns a year older today, August 10. This unfortunately coincides with the news that American rapper and singer – and also Kylie’s ex-partner – Travis Scott was arrested in Paris. Like many other celebrities, Travis was in Paris for the soon-to-be-concluding Olympic Games. He was spotted at the men’s basketball semifinals alongside rapper Quavo. However, in the early hours of August 9, Travis was arrested at the Hotel Georges V after reportedly being involved in a “violent” attack on a security guard.
Coming back to Kylie, Travis is only making up for one chapter in the birthday girl’s love life. This is where all of her romances are put in the spotlight.
Short-lived romances: Cody Simpson and Jaden Smith
Kylie practically grew up in the public eye thanks to the Kardashian-Jenner clan’s undying legacy in pop culture. Of course, that means that even the most casual romances she was involved in received full media attention. One of the first names to come up in that regard was Australian singer and actor Cody Simpson. Or should we say “K’ody”? There were rumors that Cody and Kylie were dating for a while around 2011. However, the rumors soon fizzled out and their alleged romance was forgotten.
The same can be said about rapper and actor Jaden Smith, although he and Kylie have been together for a long time. The two hung out in many of the same social circles and were friends for a while before their rumored romance began. Again, this hasn’t been officially admitted by either of them, but there was a point in time when Kylie referred to Jaden as her “best friend.” The most famous photo of them is undoubtedly the one where they walk out of a movie theater hand in hand. Fans of OG Kylie know the gossip behind the photo.
Tyga
Rapper Tyga was Kylie’s first love. In fact, the moment the two met for the first time in 2011 – more precisely, Kendall Jenner’s 16th birthday party – was featured in an earlier episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians. At the time, Tyga was engaged to model Blac Chyna. It wasn’t long before Kylie and Tyga were linked, although the latter categorically ruled out the possibility. However, the Ferrari and tattoo he gave her for her 18th birthday undoubtedly let the cat out of the bag. The two dated for a while before taking a break of sorts in May 2016. Although they reconciled, they ended their romance for good in April 2017.
It’s worth noting that, as the beauty mogul herself admits, Kylie and Tyga never had a major fight or disagreement that led to their split. “There was absolutely nothing wrong between me and T. He and I will always, always have a bond… I decided that I’m really young. I don’t want to look back in five years and feel like he took something away from me when he’s really not that type of person,” she shared on an episode of her short-lived reality show spin-off. The life of Kylie.
Travis Scott
Kylie and Travis Scott’s relationship hit several milestones from the start. Their photos from the 2017 Coachella festival sparked dating rumors, which were practically confirmed when they got matching tattoos.
Rumors that she was pregnant with their first child took the internet by storm in September of that year, but neither of the couple responded to them. The news of the arrival of their daughter Stormi Webster was officially announced in February 2018.
Starting in October 2019, the two separated for a longer period of time. Their brief reconciliation in 2021 resulted in their second child, son Aire, in February 2022. Within a year of Aire’s birth, the two separated for good. Their different priorities were circulating on the Internet as the reason for this.
Timothée Chalamet
In April 2023, reports emerged that Kylie and actor Timothée Chalamet had their eye on each other. For months, insider reports claimed that although the two hung out together every week, the vibe of their relationship was casual and relaxed. Soon, the two began making public appearances together, including at the US Open, Paris Fashion Week, and a Beyoncé concert, where they kissed, confirming their romance.
Kylie also accompanied Timothée to the Golden Globes in January 2024 and her shy remarks and declarations of love caused a sensation on the Internet.
Although there were reports that their romance was over, it was confirmed in July 2024 that the two were still dating.
Special Mention: Drake
In 2019, when Kylie took a break from her relationship with Travis, she was briefly linked to rapper and singer Drake. Reports of this connection ranged from flirtation to “just friends.” These rumors were never confirmed.
We wish Kylie a happy birthday!
