At 28, Kylie Jenner has been opening up about the difficult realities of her second pregnancy with son Aire, revealing that the experience left her dealing with severe chronic back pain, sciatica, and months of physical discomfort. Speaking on Jake Shane’s podcast, Kylie explained that unlike her first pregnancy with daughter Stormi, which she described as relatively easy, carrying Aire was far more challenging. Just 12 weeks into the pregnancy, she woke up barely able to walk because of intense lower back pain and nerve issues. She also shared that she was placed on bed rest after becoming dilated early, recalling how doctors warned her that the baby was “falling out.” The beauty mogul admitted she gained more than 60 pounds during both pregnancies and struggled with nausea that forced her to constantly eat to feel better. Despite being in excellent shape beforehand, the pregnancy dramatically affected her mobility, confidence, and daily routine for months.

Beyond discussing motherhood, Kylie has remained at the center of public attention for several other reasons in 2026. Fans recently debated her fashion choices after she wore vintage Isabel Marant jeans while promoting similar pieces from her own clothing line, KHY, during a courtside appearance with boyfriend Timothée Chalamet at a New York Knicks game. Some criticized the move, while others praised it as smart marketing. Kylie also made headlines after reportedly losing millions of Instagram followers during Meta’s large-scale removal of bot accounts, nicknamed the “Great Purge of 2026.” She later went viral again following the Met Gala, where her dramatic bleached-eyebrow look led to a beauty mishap she jokingly described online as her brows being “ruined.”
