Kylie Jenner gave a rare and pretty in-depth interview to Vanity Fair Italia, speaking candidly about her experience with postpartum depression, what her two children Stormi and Aire are like, and which of her four sisters she connects with the most—and least.
Jenner offered her advice to others living with postpartum depression, saying, “I have experienced it. Twice. The first time was very difficult, the second was more manageable. I would tell those women not to over-think things and to live all the emotions of that moment to the fullest. Stay inside that moment, even if it is painful. I know, in those moments you think that it will never pass, that your body will never be the same as before, that you will never be the same. That’s not true: the hormones, the emotions at that stage are much, much more powerful and bigger than you. My advice is to live through that transition, without fear of the aftermath. The risk is to miss all the most beautiful things of motherhood as well.”
She also added that she’s already impressed by her kids’ strength. “The younger is two years old,” she said. “The older one is five. I am surprised by their personalities: They already know what they want, they are so determined. When I think of them, I get emotional. Sorry. They are so tender and at the same time so strong.”
She’s raising them by trying “to offer them different choices,” Jenner explained. “I am interested in the idea of imparting to them an education in how to take control and accept responsibility for their choices. I think that is very important.” She also mentioned she’s open to the idea of having more children in the next 10 years.
As for which sister is her favorite, Jenner admitted it’s Kim Kardashian currently. “Kim has changed so much recently,” she said. “We are very connected, she is always the first sister I call when I need something. We have been going through a lot of similar experiences lately.” She credited Kim for teaching her “strength, and the ability to always tell yourself that you can do it, come what may. Kim is really strong, really resilient.”
And the sister she relates to the least? “Kendall [Jenner]. Without a doubt Kendall,” Kylie said. “You know what they say, though? Opposites attract. And that’s how it works with us.” Kendall taught her “the importance of friendship and unconditional love.”
