Stormi Webster

The news of Kylie’s pregnancy surfaced in 2017. From July 2017, she rarely posted photos on her social-media accounts. Her public appearances, too, became less frequent. By the end of the year, Kylie completely vanished from social media. She resurfaced only during the launch of the new products of 'Kylie Cosmetics.' However, rumors claimed Kylie’s pregnancy was to be blamed for her absence from public events.

The rumors resurfaced on November 12, 2017, when a few photos clicked by the paparazzi were published. The photos showed Kylie's pink backyard, indicating a baby shower ceremony. In 2018, the first photographs of Kylie with her baby bump were released, but no one from her family confirmed the news.

The rumors regarding Kylie's pregnancy were confirmed when, on February 1, 2018, she gave birth to her daughter. The baby was born at 4:43 pm. On February 4, Kylie announced the birth of her daughter through a 'YouTube' video titled 'To Our Daughter.' She also mentioned the weight of the baby to be 8 lbs 9 oz. The video also showed a few never-seen-before clips that were clicked during her pregnancy.

Kylie also apologized to her social-media fans for her sudden disappearance. The revelation of Kylie’s delivery turned out to be a social-media extravaganza. Kylie’s 'Twitter' page topped the trending chart and triggered over three million "tweets." Her apology note and photo posted on 'Instagram' became the fifth most-liked post on the platform, earning almost ten million “likes” in less than 24 hours.

After the news of Kylie’s delivery became viral, the baby’s name became the next most-talked-about topic. On February 6, Kylie announced the name of the baby through an 'Instagram' post. The baby was named “Stormi.”

The 'Instagram' post through which the name was revealed soon took over the internet. The post’s popularity surpassed that of Beyoncé’s pregnancy photo and garnered over 15 million “likes.” However, some "tweets" made fun of the child’s name. Kylie and the whole Kardashian clan were mocked because Stormi’s name sounded like a weather forecast. Stormi is the next addition to the Kardashian family, which is already teeming with babies with interesting names such as Reign, North, and Chicago.

Before Stormi’s name was revealed, Kylie’s fans thought the name would be related to a butterfly, as Kylie and Travis are both obsessed with the winged insect. Stormi’s parents also have matching butterfly tattoos. People were shocked when Stormi’s name was revealed. However, the fans did an incredible job of figuring out the relation of the name with butterflies. According to their theory, the name “Stormi” was indirectly related to Travis’s hit song 'Butterfly Effect.'

Stormi’s birth not only caused a sensation on social media but also triggered a few controversies. A few months after Stormi’s birth, a rumor regarding Travis’s relation with the baby surfaced. Some of Kylie’s social-media fans found that Stormi resembled her mother’s bodyguard, Tim Chung. Kylie's ex-boyfriend, American hip-hop recording artist Tyga, also commented on the pictures, saying the baby’s hair, nose, and eyes seemed quite similar to those of Tim’s. However, none of the people involved in the rumor stated anything officially regarding the matter.

Stormi’s paternity has always been one of the most-talked-about topics in the media. When Kylie was pregnant, her ex-boyfriend, Tyga, claimed to be the baby’s father and even demanded a DNA test. Kylie had become pregnant shortly after her break-up with Tyga. The test results, however, were negative. Later, Tyga claimed that the news of him demanding a DNA test was fake.
