Kylie Jenner is baring her soul and showcasing her confidence in a stunning new cover shoot for Elle magazine’s November issue.

Reflecting on the life-changing experience, Jenner candidly discussed how becoming a mother at such a young age impacted her perception of her body. “Having a baby really young was more shocking, maybe, because I saw these changes happening to my body — all these new stretch marks and things I didn’t have before,” she told Elle. The reality TV star, who shares two children with ex-partner Travis Scott, admitted that adjusting to her postpartum body was difficult, as she dealt with stretch marks and weight gain from her pregnancies.
In the stunning photo shoot, Jenner flaunted her confidence in a series of striking looks, including a baby pink lace lingerie set paired with unbuttoned jeans, and a plunging black velvet corset top with sequined hot pants. She also showed off her toned abs in a white cropped T-shirt and string thong, demonstrating her newfound ease with her body.
Jenner revealed that her journey to self-acceptance took time, explaining, “It took me a year to feel like myself again.” Now, at 27, she says she feels more confident than ever, having spent the early part of her twenties learning how to embrace her post-baby body and rediscover her personal style after gaining 60 pounds during both pregnancies.
The Kylie Cosmetics founder also opened up about her battle with postpartum depression, describing the feeling of being on “autopilot” after welcoming her children. Her honesty sheds light on the often-unspoken struggles many women face after childbirth, making her experience all the more relatable to her fans.
