Kylie Jenner felt like she lost out on the “younger years” of her life after having kids in her 20s.
The “Kardashians” star — who is the mother of Stormi, 8, and Aire, 4 — made the revelation in a new interview with Who What Wear, published Wednesday.
Jenner explained that she made a promise to herself at the age of 25, right after Aire was born, to not “have any more children” at the time, and “really just enjoy the last half” of her 20s.
“The first half was like, ‘You’re pregnant,’ and then it’s the year of recovery, and, you know, my mental state, my postpartum depression, and all those things,” said Jenner, who shares her two kids with ex Travis Scott. “It felt like I lost some of those young years of my life.”
Now, at 29 years old, Jenner is feeling fabulous and free — and as “confident” as ever. In an accompanying photo shoot for the outlet, the reality TV star stripped down and embraced her true self.
One of the pics, shot in black-and-white, featured Jenner wearing nothing but a black bra while smoking a cigarette. Another showed her posing on the floor, flashing a seductive look to the camera.
“I’m a confident person in my private life,” the mom of two told Who What Wear. “I think it’s just hard to be a woman and a human because of this very singular experience of having so much attention.”
The Kylie Cosmetics founder also told the outlet that she’s looking forward to a new chapter as she prepares for her next decade of life.
“I think there’s something that happens when you’re turning 29— I’ll be 30 next year — and you almost feel like the clock is ticking, even though you’re still so young,” she explained, noting that she doesn’t want to “look back on life” and “wish” there were things she did when she was younger.
“Even though I already have children — so young — I feel like I lived such an adult life when I was young,” she continued. “And I’m trying to make sure that I don’t have any regrets and to do brave things and give myself more opportunities or take advantage of the ones I have.”
One of those things she wants to try, she divulged, is acting, like her older sister Kim Kardashian has done. The Skims founder has starred in a few TV shows over the years, including Hulu’s “All’s Fair” and FX’s “American Horror Story.”
“She does a lot of things that excite her but, at the same time, scare her,” Jenner said of Kardashian. “It’s amazing to watch her achieve and chase her dreams. I’m just trying to do more things, choose a few things a year, get out of my comfort zone, and just go for it.”
The outlet also spoke to Kim for the feature, who raved about Kylie being the most “individual” of the Kardashian-Jenner sibling clan, which is also made up of Khloé, Kourtney and Rob Kardashian, and Kendall Jenner.
“She’s always known what she wanted to do in life, always known who she is at a young age, and has always been very confident,” Kim gushed, calling Kylie “a wise soul.”
“I’ve always seen that side of her behind the scenes. But she’s coming into her own, and I think the world can see what our family has always seen.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Jenner teased that fans could actually see her on the big screen soon. She told WWW that she’s received two scripts so far — but hasn’t “found the right” project just yet.
“I read something recently that I’m kind of interested in — the best I’ve felt about something so far. It’s just a pilot; it hasn’t been picked up yet,” she shared. “I want to make sure it’s the right fit, especially if I’m going to do something major and … be away from my kids. I want to make sure it feels right.”
