Since the mid-2010s, Jenner, 27, has emerged as one of the most significant personalities in pop culture.

With her ex-boyfriend Travis Scott, the rapper behind hits like "SICKO MODE" and "Goosebumps," Jenner co-parents her two kids.

When the ex-couple was seen holding hands at Coachella in 2017, their relationship was initially noticed.

However, the couple ended their relationship in October 2019 after two years of dating and the birth of their daughter Stormi in February 2018.

Jenner and Scott got along well as co-parents during this period.

To everyone's astonishment, the couple then got back together in the summer of 2021, and the creator of Khy later revealed she was expecting their second child.

Jenner posted a video from the first trimester of her pregnancy to her Instagram account along with the good news.

On February 2, 2022, the beauty mogul gave birth to a boy, giving Stormi an older sibling.

Jenner first disclosed that she and Scott had chosen to name their son Wolf Jacques Webster, but then infamously changed their minds.

The reality TV star told her Instagram followers: "FYI our son's name isn't Wolf anymore. We just really didn't feel like it was him."

Subsequently, following their second breakup, Jenner disclosed that she and the musician were still undecided about calling their child.

She said, "Travis actually still changes his name a few times.

"He'll come back and be like, 'I really like this name.' And then for the day, he'll call him that. And I'm like, 'We can't do this again,'" in a The Kardashians episode.

Fans would not learn what the ex-couple had chosen until 2023 at the latest.

In January 2023, the reality TV personality revealed her son's new name on Instagram. The couple ultimately decided on Aire Webster.

While many admirers expressed their happiness that Jenner had finally disclosed the name of her son, others voiced their worries on social media.

A commenter remarked, "She named her kid what?!"

"That poor kid is going to be renamed again," someone else joked.

She tweeted: "Umm, should someone tell Kylie Jenner she renamed her son a common Arabic expression for 'my p**is' or nah?"

Bernadette Kirwan, a TikTok user, questioned: "Doesn't she [Jenner] have Arab friends?"

"At some point, this kid is going to end up in the Middle East and no one is going to call him by his real name."

"Who approved this? Like I know celebrities give their kids weird names, but this just takes it to a whole other weird level."

Meanwhile, others took to Jenner's defense, with one fan writing: "Okay but do we have to fact-check our kids' names in every language in the world? Don't be silly guys."

Agreeing, another added: "Why does it matter if that's not her language?"

The name 'Ayre' can mean 'p**is depending on its use.' However, it can also be 'Arabic for best friend,' says the Urban Dictionary.
