Why Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott Just Might Be Ready for Marriage

Kylie Jenner, Travis Scott, 2018 MTV Music Video Awards, VMAs 



Kylie Jenner is hardly the first person to claim that she marches to the beat of her own drum. Except when the beauty mogul subscribes to a new rhythm she's likely to convert several million fans along the way, her devotees suddenly claiming they never really liked that staid cadence everyone else was listening to anyway.
That is to say that things just work out for the 21-year-old multi-millionaire. Take the time she bumped into longtime family friend Travis Scott at 2017's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. She had always assumed the Grammy-nominated rapper didn't really like her, she recently admitted to GQ, because they had never exchanged more than a few words in all the years he'd been a member of brother-in-law Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music family. But standing in the California dessert, there was just something there.
"So he said, 'I'm going back on tour—what do we want to do about this?' Because we obviously liked each other," she shared of their suddenly blazing spark. "And I was like, 'I guess I'm going with you." Next thing she knew, she was climbing aboard his tour bus, committing to a second date in Wallingford, Conn., a third in New York City, a fourth in Pittsburgh and so on. "We rode off into the sunset." n the year and a half since, the sun hasn't gone down on them. A relationship that began on a whim only strengthened as they criss-crossed the country in confined quarters. "We would just go to these random cities. We got to not be who we really were," she explained off taking their pairing off-grid. "Like, if we were in L.A., I feel like it would've been way different. Everything happened for a reason. We weren't going out as 'Kylie and Trav.' We would just be in Cleveland, walking the street for hours. We would go on walks, and no one would bother us."
That unfettered feeling didn't change even as they faced their first major relationship hurdle. Learning you're expecting mere weeks into dating tops the unwritten list of "challenges that can break a couple up," but Kylie seemingly just shrugged at the news. This was something she'd always wanted, so why shouldn't now be the perfect time? And if she was going to have a baby, she was doing it her way. "My family knows that I do whatever I'm going to do," she told GQ of her default M.O. "I've been that way my whole life."

Handling pregnancy Kylie-style meant tuning out the haters and dropping out of sight, letting her Instagram go idle even as rumors of her pregnancy lit up the Internet.
It wasn't until after Stormi Webster's February arrival that she acknowledged the news that, yes, she had a baby and yes, the hard-to-read Scott, 26, was a present father. What's more, the pregnancy had achieved the seemingly impossible: it had made the young, unseasoned couple, at one point based some 1,500 miles apart, stronger than ever. Today they call Scott's Houston pad, his L.A. mansion and Kylie's Calabasas spread home—"We never miss a night with each other," she told Vogue Australia—but they also have a new, joint property, a seven-bedroom Beverly Hills abode the Kylie Cosmetics founder negotiated down to $13.45 million, a mere fraction of her reported $900 million wealth.
A new relationship status could be next. An insider tells E! News that the pair, who have taken to publicly calling each other "wifey" and "hubby", could soon put a little weight behind those titles. "Kylie and Travis have definitely discussed getting married," reveals the insider. "They are not engaged right now, but have talked about it and it's only a matter of time."
