The two youngsters have called it quits…at least “for now” according to TMZ . Travis and Kylie were last seen publicly at his “Look Mom, I Can Fly” documentary premiere on August, 27th. According to a source, their relationship was shakey on the red carpet but they still came together as a family for the sake of supporting the project. Apparently, things have cooled all the way down since then, driving a wedge between them. Reports say Kylie and Travis have been trying to make it work in the weeks since his documentary premiere but ultimately decided to walk away. Earlier this year the couple had another hiccup where Kylie suspected that Travis was cheating. This was back in March 2019, but Travis denied it. Sources added that this isn’t the first time the couple has taken a break so theirs hope for them.

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott: Whoa! It’s Over!

So much for those Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott marriage rumors. Heck, so much for those rumors of Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott simply going to see a movie this week together or something. In a stunning development that has taken the Internet by storm and surprise, this seemingly stable couple has chosen to break up. Neither half of the famous couple has confirmed this news, but multiple outlets have reported it as fact. This, for example, comes from a People Magazine insider: They are taking some time but not done. They still have some trust issues but their problems have stemmed more from the stress of their lifestyles. And this is from an E! News source: Kylie and Travis aren’t officially calling it quits on their relationship, but are taking space apart. It’s not a firm split. They’ve been fighting again, but have still seen each other within this last month. E!, of course, is the network that airs Keeping Up with the Kardashians, meaning it is locked in to the inner workings of this family and would never issue such a statement if it weren’t true. Scott and Jenner had been together for over two years. They appeared to be nothing more than a fling at first, only for Kylie to get pregnant with a girl after just a few months of dating the rapper. She and the artist then defied expectations and remained together through said pregnancy and then for over a year since welcoming daughter Stormi Webster into the world in February 2018. We did report on hints of a split just two weeks ago, but Kylie seemed to quell such chatter shortly afterwards by sharing a new photo of herself and Scott. And now… this. Back in March, Scott canceled a tour date in Buffalo after speculation grew rampant that he had been cheating. The couple put those rumors to rest awhile back, it appeared, by taking multiple vacations together this summer and coming across as inseperable as ever. So, what happened here? Why are they now on at the minimum a break and, at maximum, a total break up ? “They fight over ridiculous things and Kylie can be very skeptical about Travis,” the E! source explains. “Travis has been stressed with dropping new music.” It is worth noting that Scott did not accompany Kylie to Justin Bieber’s wedding in South Carolina on Monday night. This didn’t stop the 22-year old from having a blast, however. “Kylie had a glass of champagne in her hand and was dancing with Stormi on the dance floor at one point,” E! reports. “Kris was holding her a lot of the night. Kylie also had a cocktail drink at her table in front of her.” Jenner and Scott were last seen together at the premiere of Scott’s Netflix documentary, Travis Scott: Look Mom I Can Fly on August 28. They had often hinted that their relationship was headed toward marriage. In addition to referring to each other as “hubby” and “wifey” on numerous  occasions, Kylie also rocked a massive diamond ring on her left hand. However, the Kylie Cosmetics founder assured Paper magazine in February that she would “let everybody know” when an engagement occurred. For his part, Travis talked openly about proposing someday . “We’ll get married soon,” he told Rolling Stone late last year, adding of his baby’s mama: “People don’t understand how real my girl is… They have assumptions, bullshit-ass remarks of what they think is going on. Nah, bro… She’s the coolest motherf-cker of all time.” This may still be true. But this mother may soon be f-cking some other dude. Stunning, right?!?
