The Podcast Reveal: A Mother-Daughter Screening
Kylie recently decided to show eight-year-old Stormi an early episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians (KUWTK). While the show made the family global icons, Kylie admitted she had to be a “careful editor” during the viewing.
The Filter: Kylie confessed to fast-forwarding through “inappropriate stuff” she hadn’t realized was in the early seasons.
The Selection: She chose “cute scenes,” including a family house party, to give Stormi a glimpse into their past.
Why the Tears? Gratitude and Mourning
Seeing her younger self on screen—at roughly the same age Stormi is now—triggered an unexpected emotional release. Kylie described “weeping in bed” after the episode ended, citing two main reasons for the breakdown:
Mourning the Past: She felt a deep sense of loss for the “closeness” of the early days when the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan lived under one roof.
Gratitude for the Empire: She reflected on the incredible scale of what the family has built since the show first aired in 2007.
“I was just like, ‘Maybe it’s my daughter being the same age as I was’… It was very emotional. I didn’t know it was gonna hit me like that.” — Kylie Jenner
Stormi’s Growing Awareness
As Stormi navigates school, the reality of her family’s fame is becoming more “present in her mind.” Kylie noted that her daughter has begun asking more questions about her famous parents and aunts.
The Travis Scott Factor: Stormi has mentioned that kids at school are fans of her father, the rapper Travis Scott.
Family Tree: Stormi is increasingly curious about the global celebrity status of the “Kardashian” brand.
