American reality TV star Kylie Jenner has firmly denied rumors suggesting she used Ozempic, a popular weight-loss drug, to shed pounds after the birth of her two children. In a candid interview with British Vogue, Jenner set the record straight, emphasizing that her weight loss journey was entirely natural.
Jenner revealed that she gained significant weight during both pregnancies, reaching 200 pounds each time. She explained, “Does everyone forget that I had two children and gained 60 pounds during both pregnancies? I was 200 pounds when I gave birth to my 9-pound babies: 8.3 and 8.9. I lost all the baby weight after my daughter, then got pregnant with my son two months later. I felt in shape, was working out, and then got pregnant again.”
She also voiced her frustration over the public’s lack of understanding and empathy towards mothers, saying, “I feel like people didn’t give me, or women in general, enough empathy.”
Jenner shares her two children—a boy and a girl—with her ex-boyfriend, rapper Travis Scott. The couple separated in January 2023, shortly after the birth of their second child. Jenner has since moved on and is currently dating actor Timothée Chalamet.
