Kylie: ‘I don’t want to get as big as Kim’
The pregnant star fears she’ll balloon like her sis
Although Kylie Jenner has based almost her entire career on trying to emulate big sister Kim, there’s one area the 20-year-old reality star doesn’t want to outdo her sibling in – how much weight she gains during pregnancy.
Kylie’s thought to be around six months pregnant with boyfriend Travis Scott’s baby, and she’s terrified she’s going to put on 5st, just like Kim did when she was expecting North and Saint.
“Her big fear is that she’s going to ‘balloon’ like Kim did when she gained over 70lbs,” an insider close to the star tells heat. “She’s never been a fan of the gym and could never keep up with Khloé and Kim’s crazy workout regimes. She’s shocked by the amount of weight she’s gaining, as she’d always managed to remain quite slim without much effort.”
Friends and family are telling her to relax, but Kylie is convinced that she won’t be able to bounce back after having the baby – and is giving into her cravings.
Our source adds, “Kylie’s been eating a lot of fast food, and calls out for deliveries from Taco Bell and Hot Dog On A Stick. She’s been ignoring all the advice she’s been given about eating healthily. Ironically, food is the only thing that’s cheering her up, even though she’s feeling really down about how much weight she’s gaining.”
Kylie has not been seen much since the pregnancy was revealed, other than social media posts featuring photos from her chest up (well, she’s got to keep her 99million followers interested) and she was said to be mortified when she saw these recent paparazzi shots of herself. “She screamed when she saw the pictures,” our insider reveals. “She hates that she can’t control how she’s being seen.”
And Kylie isn’t alone in her weight fears, as sister Khloé (who’s due around the same time) has started to panic about pregnancy ruining the money maker – her bum. “Her biggest insecurity right now is her butt. She feels like it’s already lost all its perkiness and is out of proportion,” says heat’s insider. “She asks Tristan [Thompson, her baby daddy] to take pictures of it all the time so she can obsessively compare it to her pre-baby booty.”
