In a rare departure from her usual discretion regarding her sisters' former romantic partners, Kim Kardashian has candidly discussed her distinctive relationship with Travis Scott, the ex-boyfriend of her younger sister Kylie Jenner. The reality star and Skims co-founder recently sat down for an interview with Complex magazine, where conversation about sneakers and personal style unexpectedly led to revelations about her bond with the famous rapper.
Travis Scott: The Kardashian Family's Sneaker Connection
During the interview, Kim Kardashian emphasized that Travis Scott's significance in her life has little to do with his past romance with Kylie Jenner. Instead, she portrayed him as her ultimate source for exclusive sneaker releases. "I'd say the most shoes I have are Travis'—every colorway," Kim revealed, highlighting his role as her personal conduit to coveted footwear drops.
The reality television icon admitted she rarely asks family members for favors, but made an exception when Travis released special pink Nike sneakers. "I'm not that girl to call in family favors, but I had to call to get the Travis pinks. And then they showed up," she shared, illustrating how their connection transcends typical family dynamics.
Maintaining Family Harmony Amid Relationship Shifts
Kim also recounted a recent brand event in New York where she, Travis, her mother Kris Jenner, and sister Khloé Kardashian were all present. Despite the complex romantic history between Travis and Kylie, the group posed for photographs together seamlessly, as if it were an ordinary family gathering. This incident underscores the Kardashian-Jenner clan's remarkable ability to preserve friendly relationships even when personal connections evolve.
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott: A Look Back at Their Relationship
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott's romance captivated public attention for nearly four years, characterized by its on-again, off-again nature. The couple began dating in 2017 and welcomed their first child, daughter Stormi, in 2018. Following their pattern of reconciliation and separation, they parted ways in 2022 but reunited briefly, resulting in the birth of their son, Aire, in early 2022.
Their final breakup occurred in 2023, yet both have maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship. Travis continues to participate in family celebrations, particularly his children's birthday parties and other significant occasions. Currently, Kylie is dating actor Timothée Chalamet, while she and Travis focus on providing stable parenting for Stormi, now 8, and Aire, who is 4 years old.
The Kardashian-Jenner family's approach demonstrates how modern blended families can navigate complex relationships with grace and mutual respect, prioritizing children's wellbeing while maintaining personal connections that extend beyond romantic partnerships.
