Kylie Jenner has dedicated her Instagram grid lately to posting sultry thirst traps of herself in bikinis, midriff-baring two-piece sets, and in one instance, even just showering naked with a strategically placed bouquet. Yesterday, Jenner went golden in a series of photos wearing a gold bra top and matching skirt with a thigh-high leg slit. She wore a cherry necklace too, because why not? Over 4.2 million people liked the post:
The carousel with her shower shot, by the way, garnered 8.3 million likes in three days:
The thematic shift in Jenner’s Instagram posts may in part be due to the alleged recent change in her relationship status. Last month, Jenner and her on-off boyfriend Travis Scott, the father of her two children, were reported to have broken up again.
A source told People in January, “[it has] never been an easy relationship [between them],” and that Jenner “flips out” any time cheating rumors emerge.
“There is a reason that they never got married,” the source said. “It’s always been very up and down. And they have never even lived together. They have always had separate homes.”
That source added what drove them apart this time was their different priorities. “Kylie is very focused on her kids and her business,” the source said. “She is not a big partier. Travis is the opposite. He likes to party. They definitely have different focuses. They always did.”
Neither Jenner nor Scott have commented directly on breakup reports. On Valentine’s Day, neither shared a tribute to the other on Instagram.
