American reality TV star, Kylie Jenner has slammed rumors she took weight-loss drugs to get back in shape after giving birth.
The 27-year-old reality star is the mother of six-year-old daughter, Stormi, and two-year-old son, Aire, who she shares with ex-boyfriend Travis Scott, 33.
Some fans of ‘The Kardashians’ star have questioned if she used the weight-loss drug semaglutide, which is the key ingredient in Ozempic, to regain her figure after becoming a mother.
“I’m back at the weight I was before I had my daughter and son and people are putting me side by side of my three months postpartum… Does everyone forget that I had two children and I gained 60 pounds in both pregnancies?”

Arguing that she deserves more empathy, she added, “I was 200 pounds when I gave birth to my 9-pound babies: 8.3 and 8.9. I finally lost all the baby weight after my daughter and then got pregnant with my son two months later. And I felt in shape and it was working out, and then I got pregnant and did it all over again.”
Kylie, who has been a reality star since she was 10 and endlessly shares photos and videos of herself online, refused to reveal if she is dating actor Timothée Chalamet, 28.
When asked about her romantic status, the fame-hungry star said only, “Privacy is so important to me in life.”
Jenner also reflected on her postpartum body image, adding that she is treating her past self with kindness.
Kylie Cosmetics mogul, 27, opened up about her past cosmetic surgeries, including her breast augmentation surgery, and why she felt “pressure” from the world to “make the right decisions,” even as a teen.
“I just have to be gentle with myself because although I carried so much responsibility at the moment, I was just trying to do what was best for me. I was just trying my best as a human. I have to realize: ‘It’s OK, Kylie’.Looking back, I’m like, ‘God, I was 17, 18’.”

The scrutiny didn’t stop then though, because when she became a mom, she still felt the weight of all the criticism thrown her way as she dealt with her body image.
Reality Star Recalls Struggles From Postpartum Days
Kylie Jenner, the 27-year-old beauty tycoon, recently opened up about her struggles with postpartum depression.
After giving birth to her children, Stormi and Aire, she battled emotional turmoil for nearly a year. Kylie described the period as “mentally and hormonally challenging,” especially with her second child.
“I’m going to be 27, and I’m finally feeling like myself again. And [looking back] I think, being pregnant, I wore sweatpants every day, I didn’t have time to figure out even some of the little things in my life, and then postpartum lasted a year.”

One heartbreaking aspect of her struggle was the difficulty in naming her son. She tearfully confided in her mother, feeling like a failure for not being able to decide on a name immediately.
“On the phone, with my mom, all day hysterically crying, saying, ‘I can’t figure out his name,” Kylie Jenner asserted.
The hormonal changes during pregnancy and postpartum made decision-making nearly impossible, leading Kylie to advise pregnant friends to choose baby names in advance.
Kylie, the billionaire entrepreneur, expressed profound regret for not being able to name her son immediately.
“I felt like such a failure that I couldn’t name him. He deserved so much more than that. It just really triggered me,” Kylie said.
Initially, her second son was known as Knight and briefly as Wolf Jacques. However, after receiving feedback and experiencing uncertainty, she announced on Instagram that the name “Wolf” no longer suited him.
In January 2023, Kylie shared that her son has been named ‘Aire’.
