Kylie Jenner welcomed her second child with Travis Scott on Wednesday, February 2.  Jenner made the announcement on Sunday, February 6th, posting a photo on social media of her newborn holding what seems to be big sister Stormi’s hand along with the caption “ 2/2/22.”

The 25-year-old Jenner and Scott, 30, welcomed their now-3-year-old daughter, Stormi, in February 2018. One year after Stormi’s arrival, Kylie confirmed that she and Scott had split but remained on good terms while co-parenting Stormi. They later sparked reconciliation rumors in June 2021.

In September, Jenner revealed she was expecting her second child with Scott, sharing the baby news on Instagram with a home video and the caption: “@travisscott”
