Billionaire Bachelor A Definitive Timeline Of Kylie & Travis Scott's Relationship
"We'll get married soon. I just gotta sturdy up - I gotta propose in a fire way." In December 2018, Travis Scott told Rolling Stone that he will marry Kylie Jenner.
Ultra-slick, ultra-smooth, beyond edgy. With his signature braids, baggy pants, Nike sneakers and auto-tuned everything, Travis Scott doesn't seem like he'd be the best fit for Kylie Jenner. The girl whose life revolves around her glam room basically has the colour pink in her DNA- how she wound up with Travis is anyone's guess.
Kylie and Travis officially started dating in April 2017. That didn't leave a massive amount of time before Kylie's super-noticeable disappearance from social media- and yes, it was obviously a baby.
Iconic celeb couples generally don't have their timelines chronicled until they're years into their relationships. Beyonce and Jay-Z go back to 2002. David and Victoria Beckham will celebrate 20 years of marriage in 2019. Kylie? At 21, Forbes's "Youngest Self-Made Billionaire" seems to have it all. Except a husband.
$900 million is a lot of money. Then again, looking at Kylie's 180 since becoming a mother, it almost seems like she'd give up the Louis Vuitton in a heartbeat- "Life-changing" is how Kylie described her 2018 on KUWTK.
That "engagement" ring is more visible than ever. Travis filled Kylie's home with red roses for Valentine's Day. It's totally time for a closer look. Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott are set to overtake every power couple in Hollywood. Here's a definitive timeline of their love, plus all the things they've said about each other.
20 Kylie "Trying To Make Tyga Jealous": We're Off To A Good Start
It's pretty hard to think back to 2016- Kylie was still a teenager, her spoiled life was kind of driving everyone mad and we weren't seeing much in the way of maturity. Times have changed. As Cosmo reports, 2016 marked Kylie's time with Tyga. It also marked an interesting end.
Kylie was trying to "make her ex jealous by hanging out with other guys."
The magazine reports that Kylie and Travis were first spotted at Coachella in April 2017, but that Kylie's real focus was making her ex jealous. Tyga has since made headlines for "taking credit" for Kylie's success, Cosmo reports.
19 April 2017: This Gets Them Noticed
If you're a KarJenner, sitting courtside will get you noticed. In April 2017, Kylie ditched her usual glam look for a bright, sporty outfit, but her red shirt wasn't the headline.
As People reported that Kylie and Travis "definitely looked like a couple cuddled up next to each other," people started talking. Travis's career was on the rise. We don't need to tell you he's good-looking.
The media outlet continued to report that Kylie and Travis were "super hand-holdy" as they watched the NBA play. Holding hands is one thing. When this is the facial expression though, the guy is a #PersonOfInterest.
18 'Whoa, I'm Still Talking To Her, She's Responding, I'm Responding"
This relationship got super-intense, super-fast. Nobody had a clue that Kylie would be winding up with her man, but Travis spoke honestly to Rolling Stone about the early weeks.
"Maybe, like, the first week, you don't know if it's real or a fling. Then the second week you're like: Whoa, I'm still talking to her, she's responding, I'm responding. We ain't run out of a thing to say."
FYI, Kylie Jenner doesn't just "respond" to anyone. This girl's IG clocks tens of thousands of comments within hours of a post. Kylie is pretty selective. These two had something real, but it was still early days.
17 Expecting Stormi "Weeks" Into Dating, "This Is Something Special"
This is where you start to understand the reasoning behind Kylie's concealed pregnancy. While Kylie returned to IG after giving birth and apologised for "leaving her fans in the dark," it was likely both the health of the baby and avoiding rumours were on Kylie's mind.
“We felt like: This is something special. And kids are something we kind of talked about when we were getting busy.”
Travis told Rolling Stone that Kylie was expecting Stormi "weeks" into dating. If the world had known then, it would have judged. In hindsight, we 100% get why Kylie didn't talk about it.
16 May 2017: "We Would Just Go To These Random Cities. No-One Would Bother Us"
If you're Kylie Jenner, you're the biggest prize the paparazzi can have. The minute this girl steps out of her gated community, the photographers are waiting for her. As E! News reports, Kylie seemed to cherish those early months.
"And we would just go to these random cities. We got to not be who we really were. Like, if we were in L.A., I feel like it would've been way different," the media outlet quotes her saying.
She added, "Everything happened for a reason. We weren't going out as 'Kylie and Trav.' We would just be in Cleveland, walking the street for hours. We would go on walks, and no-one would bother us."
15 Deeper Into 2018: #Pregnant Turns Into Selfies "From The Waist-Up"
If you noticed something suspicious about Kylie's IG as 2017 wore on, you weren't alone. We were used to in-your-face selfies that showed a lot of skin (and not a lot of clothes). Kylie's social media seemed to be snapped from the waist-up as 2017 evolved, and there was a reason.
"All of the clues that Kylie Jenner is pregnant." Bustle came up with 12 in November 2018. #WaistUp was hiding a #BabyBump, but nobody knew yet.
As Zimbio reports, Kylie would later return to social media with a baby and an apology: "I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark through all the assumptions." The pregnancy was never official, but this pic was already hiding it.
14 September 2018: First Pregnancy Headlines, All Silent From Kylie
It's all in the open now. Stormi has turned one, she's already out-doing every baby out there on the style front and everybody forgave Kylie for her absence. As Cosmo reports, September 2017 marked the start of pregnancy rumours.
TMZ broke the news and was quickly followed by Page Six. How they knew that the couple "are expecting a girl" when Kylie herself seemed to have vanished off the face of the earth, we don't know.
"The family has known for quite some time," People reported (via Elite Daily) as rumours got staggeringly accurate. The magazine reported Kylie to be due in February. Stormi did, indeed, arrive in February 2018.
13 "They're Just Guesses, Let Them Keep Fishing"
By January 2018, Kylie had become one of the least active celebrities on social media. We were literally only getting Kylie Cosmetics promos and the odd face shot. The rumours were enough to get Billboard to ask Travis:
"There are these rumors that you're dating Kylie and having a child with her." Travis replied: "I don't want to talk about that. They're just guesses. Let them keep fishing."
It was the biggest secret of 2017. Unlike her sisters, Kylie didn't spend her final months rocking Yeezy maternity wear in public. Nobody even knows where Kylie was during those final few months. Maybe Stormi does.
12 February 2018: Stormi Arrives (And Basically Breaks The Internet)
We just hadn't seen anything like it. In February 2018, Kylie returned to IG with the biggest bang ever. It's called announcing baby Stormi Webster.
Racking up 16 million likes, the pic of Kylie clutching her baby's finger broke the platform's record. Yes, it got broken by an egg in 2019. But 16 million likes isn't bad for a baby.
As BBC reports, 2019's @worldrecordegg set out to topple Stormi from her throne. Kylie's announcement post is no longer the most-liked, but this isn't a competition. If it were, Stormi would win. She's way cuter than an egg, and we thought we'd give you a little reminder with this pic.
11 Travis Wanted A Son, Saw Stormi: "This Is The Illest Thing That Ever Happened"
When Travis opened up to Rolling Stone in December 2018, we learned something interesting. Being totally honest, Travis admitted that he actually wanted a son. Everything changed the minute Stormi was born.
“At first I was like: Man, I need a son. When we found out it was a girl, I was like: Huhhh. But after a while I was like: Yo, this might be the illest thing that ever happened."
Oh, does he have a way with words. Come on. The "illest thing that ever happened?" Travis Scott, we officially love you way more than we did five minutes ago. Travis could not be more in love with his little girl.
10 February 2018: Travis Gifts Kylie That $1.4 Million Ferrari
He's still dating a KarJenner. These girls are high-maintenance. Travis Scott has been gifting from way back, though. As Rolling Stone reports, Travis bought his disabled mom a house as soon as he was earning decent money. For Kylie? The girl already has multiple homes.
On February 25th, 2018 Travis pulled out all the stops. As Harper's Bazaar reports, he bought Kylie a $1.4 million Ferrari as a "push present."
"Can't believe she's mine," was Kylie's IG caption as she unveiled the new set of wheels. Well, when your sister matches her hair to the Lambo, you've gotta keep up, right?
9 “We'll Get Married Soon. I Just Gotta Sturdy Up - I Gotta Propose In A Fire Way”
We're itching for this so bad. When it comes to the Kardashians, kids before marriage seems to be the format. Kourtney never married Scott. Kim had North West before her 2014 wedding. Khloe and Tristan aren't exactly sending out marriage vibes.
"We'll get married soon. I just gotta sturdy up - I gotta propose in a fire way.” It's officially "when," not "if."
A tiny part of us is irritated that Travis told this to Rolling Stone back in December 2018. We're impatient. Valentine's Day didn't bring us any engagement news. Nor did Stormi's first birthday. We're just waiting for her to start talking properly (and tell her parents to get on with it already).
8 November 2018: Kylie Is #Astroworld, Stormi Has A Backstage Room In Every Venue
Kylie isn't one to tag along to other people's gigs- she is the gig. Kylie started tagging along to Travis's Astroworld tour in November 2018. As Refinery29 reports, Stormi also tagged along. Kylie shared social media videos that clearly showed Stormi and that private room she has in every venue.
“We don't let her out because of how loud it is out there, but she just usually stays backstage and watches until her bedtime,”
Pop Culture quotes Kylie saying. Stormi's rooms have lighting bolt signs, white couches, lots of snacks and fake pepper toys. We've even seen videos of her giggling while watching Travis on her TV.
7 May 2018: Travis Rumours, Kylie Gets Mad At People For "Messing With Real People"
Travis Scott is no Tristan Thompson. With zero evidence that this guy has wavered in his relationship with Kylie, the youngest KarJenner was clearly enraged by "fake" photos of Travis, which emerged in December 2018, as MSN reports. They were confirmed to be a "hoax."
“Idk if this is really a social experiment to some people but you're messing with real people, real relationships, real family."
MSN reports this as Kylie's social media message. She added: “I'm happy my relationship is strong because this is getting out of hand. The internet scares me sometimes for real.” The story kind of fizzled out (and with good reason).
6 Calling Travis "Hubby," He Keeps Filling Her Home With Flowers
Kylie has actually been calling Travis "hubby" for quite a while. October 2018 is when Cosmo first reported Travis's new moniker, but it's been going strong ever since. Unlike Justin Bieber, though (where "my wife is awesome" actually means wife), these two still aren't married.
"Just because flowers are the best kind thank u hubby." With those for a social media caption, you'd think an engagement had already happened. Travis has been filling Kylie's home with flowers pretty regularly.
On Valentine's Day 2019, Kanye West filled Kim's home with single-stem flowers. That's a different deal. Kanye is Kim's "hubby." Kylie and Travis just keep us guessing.
5 Some Days There's A Ring, Some Days There Isn't
The ring that Kylie seems to be flashing on a permanent basis wasn't always so permanent. Looking way more casual than her usual glammed-up self, Kylie took this selfie in an "Astroworld" bathroom. Her BFF Jordyn Woods had tagged along.
In January 2019, Cosmo had to use caps to remind us that the ring spotted on Kylie's finger was on "THAT" finger. "We ain't run out of a thing to say," Travis had told Rolling Stone in December 2018.
You aren't totally right, Travis. There's still one more thing to say. It comes in four words and starts with "Will you… "
4 Valentine's Day, 2019: Literally, No Words
In case you haven't noticed, the Kardashian-Jenners don't do things by half. Kylie's new Rolls-Royce is icy-blue, custom-designed and her name is on the inside. High-maintenance she may be, but it looks like some gestures will 100% melt her heart.
Valentine's Day 2019 brought us this from Kylie's IG. Stormi almost looks lost in the sea of red roses and candles. The arch design is so well done, it's like Travis knows his girl inside out.
"Travis just outdid himself" was Kylie's caption, as Cosmo reports. Decking out Kylie's home got an entire article from the magazine, and we're kind of seeing why.
3 "Baby #2?" Kylie Rocks The Internet With Two Words
Kind of embarrassing. By the time Kendall Jenner appeared on The Ellen Show in February 2019, Kylie had already posted that super-cryptic "Baby #2?" IG post. It was all Ellen could talk about. She probed Kendall, but the response was clear, as MSN reports.
"No, she's not [pregnant], I think she was just like, we are looking good and are really into each other and like maybe baby #2 is like gonna happen."
Kendall added: "They're practicing, right? Is that what you call it?" Kylie has previously revealed that her psychic said she'd only have two kids, Marie Claire reports. We're 100% waiting for another baby.
2 The Ring Is Now A Permanent Deal, "I'll Let People Know"
It's becoming one of the most Googled topics. Kylie's "engagement" ring hasn't gotten any bigger, but we're seeing more of it. In February 2019, Kylie once again shut down rumours that she's engaged. As per her brand new Paper feature:
“I'll let everybody know." That was on February 19th, 2019. A month ago, People asked Kylie if she's engaged. “Not that I know of," she replied.
Bear in mind, this is the same girl who kept shtum about her pregnancy and didn't tell the world until Stormi arrived. For all we know, Kylie and Travis have been engaged for a while. Kylie maintains it's a "no," though.
1 But Travis Needs Kylie "To Operate," These Two Aren't Kidding Around
Celeb flings- like we don't see that every day. While Kourtney Kardashian has split from both Younes Bendjima and Luka Sabbat in the last year, Kylie just keeps going with Travis. He told Rolling Stone:
"I need her with me to operate. She's that one. People don't understand how real my girl is. How ill she is. They have assumptions, [stupid] remarks of what they think is going on. Nah, bro."
It may well be the greatest love story of our time. Kylie Jenner, Travis Scott and Stormi might be covered in diamonds, but they're perfect. All we need now is a diamond ring that says: "Marriage."
