Reality star Kylie Jenner finally revealed she gave birth to a baby girl on February 1st and why she kept her pregnancy very private.

Jenner made the announcement on her Instagram, writing that she wanted to keep the process private.

News that Jenner was pregnant first filtered through back in September 2017, when rumours claimed she was 5 months gone.

Jenner, announcing the birth, said her baby girl arrived on the 1st of February. She wrote:

“I’m sorry for keeping you in the dark through all the assumptions. I understand you’re used to me bringing you along on all my journeys. My pregnancy was one I chose not to do in front of the world. I knew for myself I needed to prepare for this role of a lifetime in the most positive, stress free, and healthy way I knew how. There was no gotcha moment, no big paid reveal I had planned. I knew my baby would feel every stress and every emotion so I chose to do it this way for my little life and our happiness.

Pregnancy has been the most beautiful, empowering, and life-changing experience I’ve had in my entire life and I’m actually going to miss it. I appreciate my friends and especially my family for helping me make this special moment as private as we could. My beautiful and healthy baby girl arrived February 1st and I just couldn’t wait to share this blessing. I’ve never felt love and happiness like this I could burst! Thank you for understanding.”
