Kylie Jenner was caught off guard when a straightforward question from her daughter stirred unexpected emotions.
The beauty mogul shared during an appearance on Kid Cudi’s Big Bro podcast that her 8-year-old daughter, Stormi Webster, recently inquired about the reason behind their family’s fame. This poignant question left Jenner reflecting deeply.
Jenner explained that their journey to fame began with the reality show “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” which debuted when she was slightly older than Stormi is now.
“I sat her down and told her, ‘Our family started a television show when I was just a year older than you, and that’s how we became known,'” Jenner recounted. “Stormi then asked, ‘Can I watch it?’ to which I replied, ‘Of course.'”
The mother-daughter duo watched parts of the first episode together, with Jenner carefully skipping over scenes she deemed unsuitable for her young daughter.
“I was so emotional after. I don’t know what hit me, but I was weeping in my bed. I don’t know why that happened to me,” she said.
Looking back, Jenner said her mix of emotions may have been caused by seeing her younger self on screen and realizing her daughter is now the same age she was when everything started.
“I was just like maybe it’s like my daughter being the same age as I was [or] just seeing my family and I’m just feeling so grateful for all that we’ve built, but also mourning that closeness when we were all kind of living under the same roof. It was very emotional. I didn’t know it was going to hit me like that,” she said
Jenner shares Stormi and her four-year-old son Aire with Travis Scott.
“I have my family; I have my kids that I go home to that love me so much and have no idea what’s going on in this world,” she said. “They definitely keep me grounded.”
She also spoke about raising her kids in the public eye and what that could mean as they get older.
“When Stormi turns 15, I don’t know how I’m going to handle it,” Jenner said. “We don’t know how [fame] is going to affect them, and it’s really scary.”
