Three months after welcoming her second child, Kylie Jenner is finally starting to return to her old self. Jenner took to TikTokon May 12 to upload a current selfie video with audio from a 2017 episode (via Elle) of her one-season E! reality show “The Life of Kylie” superimposed over it. “Dude, I’m getting my personality back. I’m feeling like myself again,” Jenner mouthed over the sound bite. In the caption, Jenner noted how her old words fit her new reality like a glove. “When your postpartum hormones start to level out,” she quipped.
Jenner has been open about her struggles after giving birth a second time. “Postpartum has not been easy,” she noted on her Instagram Stories in mid-March at the six-week mark (via Page Six). “It’s very hard. This experience for me, personally, has been a little harder than with my daughter.” Jenner was feeling the effects all around, including on the mental, physical and spiritual levels.
The cosmetics mogul felt inclined to speak openly about her journey in an effort to shatter the often common misconception that celebrities are unaffected by pregnancy and postpartum. “It hasn’t been easy for me, either,” she emphasized. “It’s been hard, and I just wanted to say that.” On some days, Jenner struggled to muster the motivation to engage in activities she normally enjoys, and she wants everyone to know that anyway can feel that way. “It’s okay not to be okay,” she said.
