Kylie Jenner from The Kardashians is sharing crucial moments from her life with the world, but she's been quite private about her son, although she just revealed his name, Aire Webster. When Kylie was pregnant with her daughter Stormi Webster, she disappeared from the public eye without explanation. While the media speculated, wondering if the star was pregnant, she didn't confirm any rumors. She later announced her daughter's birth through a YouTube video that showcased her pregnancy journey. Her second pregnancy was a little different, as Kylie announced on Instagram that she was expecting, and shared several photos of herself and her baby bump before welcoming her son into the world.
After giving birth, Kylie remained relatively quiet, initially announcing her son's name as Wolf Webster, before changing it. The reality TV star waited a long time to tell the public what she had changed her son's name to. While Kylie was more public with her second pregnancy, she still remained fairly private. Many believe that this was partly due to her boyfriend Travis Scott's November 2021 Astroworld Festival, where a crowd crush resulted in the deaths of ten attendees. Kylie remained less public than her sisters while promoting The Kardashians season 1, before its Hulu premiere. Her son is now nearly a year old, and very little is known about him. However, they do think they know why Kylie is keeping him so private.
Why Kylie Jenner Is So Quiet About Aire Webster
Kylie has never hidden her four-year-old daughter from the public eye, but her son seems to be a secret. TikTok user @maiachondrialmembrane has an interesting theory, which could possibly explain Kylie's decision. The social media user started off by explaining that the Astroworld tragedy played a big part in Kylie's choice. "Her pregnancy was able to shield her and therefore Travis from some of the scrutiny over what took place," the fan mused.
Instead of talking about Astroworld, her pregnancy was a hot topic. However, the TikTok user added that interest would have faded after she gave birth, so she hid her baby's name to keep people interested: "At least until we know with 100% certainty that Travis is in the clear."
Kylie Jenner Has Been Open About Stormi Webster
The fan added that Kylie may also be following social media trends, and currently, users are in, "the age of casual Instagram." This means that stars like The Kardashians cast member are less likely to be as open about their lives, and more apt to post discreetly. The commenter's most interesting point came last, and called attention to how the Kar-Jenners may prioritize women in the family over men. Rob Kardashian Jr. has slowly become less relevant, and even Kris Jenner's male grandchildren receive less attention than the girls. The theory gained traction, and it's possible that the family will reveal more about private plane fan Kylie's son the next time they're under scrutiny, and need something to distract the public from bad press.
For a family that makes their millions by sharing their lives with the public, it's certainly strange that Kylie hasn't offered much information about her son. Though she stayed quiet throughout The Kardashians season 2 on Hulu, Kylie has now opened the floodgates, by revealing her son's name. However, Kylie may simply want to avoid showing the world much of her son until he is old enough to make his own decisions about navigating fame. That seems to be the case with a lot of celebrities recently, including Kar-Jenner friend, Gigi Hadid. For now, Kylie is sharing at her own pace.
