How Travis Scott ended up being Kylie Jenner's perfect partner

Kylie Jenner maybe 21, but she has long established her sage-beyond-her-years credentials.

Founder and still independent owner of a cosmetics company valued at more than $ 800 billion, and youngest member of the world's most famous reality TV family (until the arrival of babies), Kylie was able to assert her life decision after decision, triumphing over all kinds of skeptics and defeatists who did not believe that the kid Kardashian-Jenner had it in her.

To this day, her most thorough move has been her decision to have a baby at age 20 with her boyfriend. Travis ScottThe news that she was pregnant was a relative shock despite what we thought was the decreasing ability of the celebrity world to really surprise anyone.

No one doubted that Kylie's child would grow up with the support of a close-knit and loving family who just now lives for the ever-adorable toddlers around them. With the addition of Chicago West, Stormi Webster and True Thompson in 2018, Kris Jenner is now a nine-year-old grandmother and the proverbial village has become much less proverbial.

But who was this Travis Scott, the man in whom Kylie had enough confidence, after a few months of dating, to become her partner in parenthood, a lifetime job, no matter what happens between two couples?

In the end, Travis became Kylie's star on this road, the rapper having subtly become the peanut butter of his jelly and a devoted father.

"I have my wife and baby behind the scenes," he told an audience at a Miami concert on Sunday night, warming hearts and sowing confusion at once. A source confirms to E! News that they are not married, but have simply started to talk about "wife" or "husband". "It's fun for them and they make a family, so why not?" the insider said.

Why not, indeed.

"We both experienced this for the first time, so I like to learn together and watch it with her," Kylie told her sister. Kendall Jennerin a conversation for Australian Vogue this summer. "He's so good with her and she's really obsessed with him."

Their last collaboration was on the purchase of a 9,680 square foot home in the Beverly Hills post office neighborhood for $ 13.45 million. Records show that Kylie and Travis have split the purchase in half to half.–in the same way that a couple of wealthy and mutually successful young parents might want to do nowadays. The house has seven bedrooms, including a master suite of 2,300 square feet and 10 bathrooms.

"Actually, I'm going through Instagram, and it's written that Travis and I do not live together, and I just want to say that we never miss a night together, we go from home to Calabasas and the town house where we met, "Kylie said in her interview with Kendall. "So if you wanted to add that."

Granted, Scott's autonomy was important to Kylie, whose odd business sense earned her the coverage of Forbes"American Women Milliariesaires" published earlier this year.

Before his celebrity exponentially formed as Jenner's boyfriend, Scott – whose real name is Jacques Berman Webster – was already known as a visionary rapper. He graduated from high school very early, left the University of Texas at 19 and moved to New York, where he slept with friends while striving to put the feet in the door. After a few months, he moved to Los Angeles, where he slept on sofas.

"It was from that moment that I started to broadcast messages and attract attention," he told Complex in 2012. "I left Los Angeles, I came back in Houston and my parents said: at home, you're not about to do, you're about to become a tramp. "Then he returned to Los Angeles and had more than a dozen TI messages waiting when he landed.

"It's at that point that people started hearing about my beats," recalls Scott. "Crazy publishers hit me, my name started to float and I earned a little money selling beats, I was subletting this cradle, I was staying in that one room … I do not I could not be here without my friends, I would not do it, it's like having a place to rest your head for some nights, but my friends were holding me to the ground, that's how much they believed in me. "

His first album in 2015 Rodeo reached number 3 on the Billboard 200 album sales chart and its 2016 follow-up, The birds in the trap sings McKnight, makes his debut at No. 1. For Christmas that year, he buys a new home to his family.

There was nowhere to go that in a Nicki Minajcontroversy fueled – the real sign that you did – when she did not like Scott Astroworld the brand new knock Queen in August, accusing Kylie of siphoning off her sales and feeds by mentioning the baby Stormi in an Instagram post Astroworld.

"Please, understand that it's an entertainment," Minaj assured his fans, even if a week later, Ellen Degeneres that she always wanted to "punch her in the face".

Kylie and Travis never bothered to say more. What has everything said.

Scott – or Travi $ $ cott – signed for the first time at Epic Records in 2012, after which Kanye Westadded him to his stable of artists G.O.O.D Music later still. Then in 2013, T.I signed Scott for his The Grand Hustle label and he created the Freshman class of XXL, a list of which all the current big names of hip-hop have graduated. Everyone wanted to be defeated by the promising young talent from the suburbs of Houston.

After Jay Z used his business on Magna Carta Holy GrailIt's there that Scott knew.

"That's where I was maybe able to make music," he told blogger Carl LaMarre of Tales of LaMarre in 2014. "I'm not saying it takes a Jay- Z to push me to make music, but I was like I could honestly do something like this and succeed. "

At the time, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Transformers was his Woman Crush Wednesday (out of respect for one of her favorite actors, the dummy's mannequin Jason Stathamhe did not write a song about it), Kid Cudi It was the artist who helped him transcend his environment when he grew up in Missouri City, Texas, and he had serious ambitions in the business.

But everything was in the studio for Scott, who kept producing material for himself and for the others. (He also likes to play basketball to burn all this extra intensity.)

Although he and Kylie got their start at Coachella in 2017, he was at the helm of the competition, Complex puts it on Scott's orbit in August 2015, before the release of his debut Rodeo. "Wearing a pair of torn shorts so much that I'm not sure that they can be legally defined as clothes," said Kylie in a group including a fashion designer. Virgil Abloh (a longtime friend of Kanye) who saw Travis perform at the Fool's Gold Day Off festival when he landed at L.A.

And she's always been a music fan and hip-hop fan, so it's not as if Travis was not on Kylie's radar. (Although she was do not among the guests who went to dine in Nice Hollywood, the hotspot, afterwards.)

Scott had 700,000 Instagram followers at the time. As of Monday, he had 12.9 million.

Explaining his approach to Complex In 2015, he said, "My music is not rap-rap-rap-rap .. I base my music on lifestyle and emotions.That's why my music has a lot of music." 39, chords, even if it is a hard articulation.I consider myself an artist, which is, in my opinion, the most played term, but I believe it. "

In the meantime, Kylie has certainly accepted. After seeing it happen at Coachella, the dazzled star decided that she did not want their so-called first date to end – so she went on tour with him.

"I really jumped on the bus and then we left at sunset, I did the whole tour with him," she recalls. GQ this summer.

Leaving the city, or at least not trying to get to know one another only in Los Angeles or New York, was the catalyst.

"We had a lot of time out," said Kylie. "It was organic, and we were just going into these random cities, we did not have to be what we really were, as if, if we were in LA, I felt it would have been very different. a reason we were not going out as 'Kylie and Trav'. "We would be just in Cleveland, walking down the street for hours, we were going for a walk, and nobody would bother us."

He explained how easy it was for strangers to go wrong on a person if all they know, is what they see on Instagram or if they take the words too literally. Complex in 2015, "My whole story is quite mythical, it's tangible, but it's also what life could be, it's a possibility."

The story of Kylie, meanwhile, has also reached mythological proportions.

"I have the impression of looking back and saying to myself:" Damn, I would have loved to be a kid and do some normal stuff for my teenage girls that my friends can do & # 39; " she says meeting in 2015, shortly after his 18th birthday. "But it's also a blessing, and I've done so many things that most 35-year-old women still have not done.You can look at any thing you want." 39, a glass half full or other. "

The teenager stated that she had already realized that material things were not going to be the engines of her happiness.

"I realized over the years that I simply found happiness in other areas, whether it be my dogs, my friends or, for example, looking at the sunset, "said Jenner. "So, if I wanted something else, it would be just to be happy all the time, to have the power to not let things affect me, and to be true to what I'm always."

Coincidentally, Scott was saying Complex something quite similar at about the same time. "Yes, money is important, but it's all about the creative process," said the rapper. "Money is something that keeps you alive and healthy and keeps you focused.It's the motivation.It's passion.I create songs not for you." money, but to see the mothers' reaction. "

It's not that Kylie does not like things, nor the strong – even if it only takes a week – that comes from inhaling this smell of new car several times a year. And Travis does not avoid letting go. For his 21st birthday in August, Scott bought Jenner a cream vintage Rolls Royce. Last week, she returned home to a house covered with red roses and flowers covering the floor and all surfaces.

And both men look good on the red carpet.

Inspired by hip-hop culture obsessed with brands and style, Scott was already in fashion before meeting Kylie.

Apparel and accessories always seemed to be part of Scott's description, whether he was wearing a Goyard bag or a dazzling Libertine shirt. When GQ really questioned about all the career regrets that he could have, all he could find was, "I would not have worn Snapbacks."

Certainly, some hats really represent a snapshot in time. Ashton Kutcher would probably agree.

Prior to joining Operation Kard-Jenner, Scott was acutely aware of how quickly social negativity could escalate, and what it was like to see critics separate his professional work and a surplus of interested people. by his private life. .

"When my album came out, I deleted Twitter from my phone just to be able to be at peace," Scott said at Complex after Rodeo went out of. "I saw something about 'Oh My Dis Side'. [somebody said] I have the melody of Future& # 39; Rich $ ex & # 39 ;, which is so weak and lame. It's one of my favorite songs, but my album was created before the release of the Future album. Metro [[[[Boomin]I stayed in my cradle for about nine months and she made crazy beats that made her debut in Future's album. I'm like, damn if only they knew. "

Nothing, however, could have prepared him to catch Kylie's attention until he was in the thick of it.

"I do not think he's really cool with that," Kylie acknowledged. GQ"but he takes care of it because we love each other and have a family.

"Of course, I know that he does not like the attention.That is why we are doing everything in our power to keep our relationship very private, or as safe as it is. he had events or something like that, I would not come in. Because I want him to do his own thing.I want him to be it.I do not want it to be Kylie and Trav. never see us together, it suits me, because we're just doing our thing. "

But she attends events such as the show in Miami on weekends, the MTV VMA in September or her evening listening to Astroworld in Chicago in August, when Lollapalooza was on the road, because it would be terribly unfair not to be able to share these moments with your important interlocutor.

And despite his dislike of photo shoots and restaurants (impatience, having to wait for other people, as opposed to dislike for people), Travis Scott does a lot of work pretending when he needs to – although Kylie does not pressure him to be part of the scene of his capital. Her changing priorities have never been more obvious than when she was silent, unprecedented during her pregnancy, posting backtracks or revealing photos on social media, not to mention how her relationship or these nine months passed.

Scott avoided in a memorable way to talk about his family about to enlarge in an interview with Display panel this was published in January. "I do not want to talk about that, it's just guesswork," he said about Kylie's pregnancy, which has not been officially confirmed yet. "Let them keep fishing."

Subsequently, we did not know at all how much Scott was involved, nor any of the answers voluntarily available to the questions asked by so many fans.

But the couple's silence made what happened when Kylie gave birth to Stormi in February, more sweet and charming: A few days after the arrival of their daughter, Kylie shared a video that included images of Scott with she goes to the doctor's appointment, including a photo of them. watch an ultrasound screen together, and if not completely long for the exciting ride.

"I was nervous and scared," Scott tells Ellen The Ellen DeGeneres show in an interview that aired on Monday. "You know, we were just both, like, young, but when you have a baby in your arms, it's like, it's uncontrollable." I could just, for example, like something as tough, you know, it's crazy. "

As he said in 2015, "fame is not important".

The family, however, is everything.
