Kylie Jenner Still Sweet on Tyga, Says He’s Her “First Real, Mature Relationship”
In the October/November issue of Complex, Kylie Jenner decided to go topless. She also decided to bare her heart to her fans. Kylie, who was only nine when she first appeared on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, has grown up in the public eye. She confided her issues of insecurity, anxiety and bullying to the magazine.
"It's probably the hardest thing," she said. "You don't know who you are. I didn't know who I was a year ago, and I still don't know exactly who I am now. You're trying to grow up and make mistakes and everybody's watching."
She confides to Complex , "At the end of the day I have to live with everything I do. I'm just proud of myself for not going crazy. Tyga helped me with that a lot."
A seven-year age gap may not seem like much, but the public was initially outraged when Kylie and Tyga first started dating. In late 2014, Kylie was just 17 - a minor - while Tyga was 25. Sex between an adult and a minor is illegal in California.
According to Billboard, Tyga was also dating model Blac Chyna at that time, who is now in a relationship with Kylie's brother, Rob Kardashian. The two would only admit their relationship when Kylie turned 18.
Kylie confesses to facing a lot of opposition about their relationship. "The first year we started hanging out, everyone around him told him not to be with me. I still get comments like, 'Don't be with him.' But we're not doing it for the public-we love each other.
She also says, "We need to be together at all times. We never get mad at each other, we just figure things out." And says that this is her "first real, mature relationship."
Kylie's fiercest champions are her family. Older sister Khloe tells the magazine, "Nothing can sway Kylie. She'll do what she wants to do no matter what." She also doesn't see what the big deal is, "I didn't think much of the age situation. I dated older guys when I was her age. I think all my sisters did. That's what all girls do, it's just not so public."
Khloe also admired that, "But I love that T and Kylie didn't care. They just did what made them happy. They're so in love, and I think they're cute together."
Kylie admitted she and Tyga were on a break this past May. She says "I just needed to see what it was like not being with him." Apparently, the time apart helped validate their relationship, because "we realized that wasn't what we wanted."
Kylie at 19 has realized what most adults usually take longer to find out, "You can't please everyone. "I just want to live my life. I have nothing to hide anymore."
