How to Hide a Pregnancy 101: Kylie Jenner
The queen of privacy in the public eye.

Kylie Jenner is one of the most-followed people on Instagram (310 million to be exact), but somehow she has this magical ability to hide the biggest parts of her life while being in the public eye. Jenner’s most talented and most talked-about quality is the way she keeps her pregnancies hidden without the paparazzi suspecting anything.
In 2018, Kylie Jenner shocked the world when she released a video out of the blue, documenting her first pregnancy in a precious video entitled, “To Our Daughter.” The documentary included a flashback to 1997 when Kris Jenner was giving birth to Kylie in the hospital and then transitioned to a clip of her closest friends (yes, PRE Jordyn Woods and Tristan Thompson hookup era) reacting to the news of her pregnancy. The documentary not only showed her close familial and friendship bonds during her pregnancy but also the relatable and adorable moments of her getting her favorite pregnancy cravings at In and Out Burgers and having her ultrasounds done at the doctor’s office.
Kylie’s pregnancy with Stormi not only showed the world that her friends and family are ride or die for keeping a nine-month secret as important as this but also that the reason she kept her pregnancy a secret was to protect her peace and to ensure the health of herself and her child.
On February 2nd, 2022, Kylie gave birth to her second child, a boy, Wolf Webster. This has erupted on social media not only for the celebration of her second child but for the questioning of and general public confusion as to why she would name her child Wolf (Travis, we know you’re behind this!). Apart from estranged baby names, the second time around, Kylie was more open to the public about her pregnancy given this time we actually knew she was pregnant. Kylie was still able to maintain her privacy during that pregnancy with very little photo and video content. She is still valuing her peace but is still satisfying viewers with updates.
