Kylie Jenner’s first official relationship was with rapper Tyga. She was only 18 when their relationship was confirmed, while Tyga was 25, and already a father to a son. Their relationship started a chaotic media frenzy because of their visible age gap, and this continued for almost the entirety of their relationship. Unfortunately, the couple split in 2017.

This led to widespread media frenzy. Their 7-year age gap, and the fact that they probably allegedly started dating before she turned 18, became media fodder for the entire lifetime of their relationship. But the duo rarely paid attention to all the rumors, and their on-again-off-again relationship continued until they called it quits in 2017. In Life of Kylie (via PEOPLE), Jenner said:

“There was absolutely not one thing wrong with me and T. He and I will always, always have a bond.”

She further added,

“There was no crazy fight, we just decided… Well, I decided that I’m really young. I don’t want to look back five years from now and feel like he took something from me when he’s really not that type of person.”

Soon after they broke up, Kylie Jenner was spotted getting close with musician and rapper Travis Scott in Coachella in 2017.
