They rekindled their romance in May 2021, navigating the complexities of parenthood with their daughter Stormi, 4, and their son, born in early 2022, whose name remains undisclosed.

Why did Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott break up? Several factors contributed to their separation, painting a picture of incompatibility that ultimately led to their parting ways.
Sources at Us Weekly reported that the couple decided to spend time apart following the holiday season. An insider revealed, “Kylie and Travis are off again, they were supposed to spend the holidays together, but she went to Aspen to be with her family and friends up there.” This separation wasn’t entirely unexpected, given their history. “This has happened so many times before, they’re known to be on again off again, but always remain friends and great co-parents,” the source added, emphasizing the cyclical pattern of their relationship.
A significant point of contention appears to be their differing lifestyles. “With two kids, Kylie doesn’t go out too much. Travis on the other hand lives a life of late nights in the studio and going out with friends,” the insider explained. This divergence in daily routines and priorities seemingly created a rift. Despite these challenges, the source maintains, “The two love and respect each other and will continue to co-parent.”
Elaborating on the long-term dynamics, another source told Us back in October 2019 about their previous split, “Kylie and Travis have been on and off at various times throughout their relationship.” Even then, there was an underlying affection. “Kylie still loves Travis and this isn’t considered a full breakup to either of them.” Kylie herself confirmed the 2019 separation in a tweet, stating, “Travis and i are on great terms and our main focus right now is Stormi. Our friendship and our daughter is priority.”
However, deeper issues seemed to plague the relationship, particularly Travis’s perceived lack of commitment. According to HollywoodLife, “One of the contributing factors to their most recent split is that, after 6 years together and two children, Travis still hadn’t shown Kylie that he is 100 percent committed to her for life.” Engagement had been a long-discussed topic. “He’s known for several years that Kylie wanted to be engaged, and they discussed it. But the ring never came, and her friends and family believe that she deserves this. She has wanted her dream wedding for so long and Travis was aware of this.” This unmet expectation of lifelong commitment appears to be a crucial factor in Kylie’s decision to move on.
Despite the current separation, some sources haven’t ruled out a future reconciliation. An Entertainment Tonight source suggested, “The two have had an up and down relationship, and although they aren’t together right now, it doesn’t mean it’s over for good.” Reiterating the lifestyle clash, the source noted, “Kylie and Travis live different lifestyles and that’s been a big issue.”
Adding another layer of complexity, Kylie has since been linked to Timothée Chalamet. Us Weekly reported that “Kylie and Timothée text, FaceTime or communicate in some way almost every day. They have a really fun and flirty exchange between them, and he makes Kylie smile.” Interestingly, Travis seemingly responded to this new romance with a rumored diss track. On the same day Kylie and Timothée were photographed kissing at Beyoncé’s concert, Travis was also present at the event, adding fuel to speculation about his reaction to Kylie’s new relationship.
Looking back, their 2019 reunion was described as strengthening their bond. “Travis and Kylie have never been closer,” an Us source revealed after their reconciliation. “The baby has absolutely brought them even closer together. She is so happy for her family. Travis is beyond thrilled. They both have wanted this for a long time.”
However, past controversies, including cheating allegations against Travis in October 2022, cast a shadow over their relationship. Model Rojean Kar publicly accused Travis of infidelity, claiming a connection dating back to his music video set and sharing alleged messages. She even asserted they spent Valentine’s Day together shortly after the birth of Kylie’s second child. Travis vehemently denied these claims on Instagram, stating, “I don’t know this person. I’ve never been with this person.” He also referenced his Valentine’s Day plans, implying he was with his family.
Earlier in their relationship, in March 2019, TMZ reported that Kylie had confronted Travis about cheating allegations, leading him to postpone a concert to address the issues in their relationship. Rojean later denied any involvement in their splits, asking for privacy for all parties involved.
Ultimately, the breakup seems to stem from a combination of lifestyle differences, commitment issues on Travis’s part, and the recurring pattern of their on-again-off-again dynamic. While co-parenting remains a priority, the romantic chapter for Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott appears to be closed, at least for now.
