“The postpartum hit, and the hormones, and I couldn’t even make a decision or think straight. And it just destroyed me. I could not name him. And I was like, ‘I feel like a failure. I don’t have a name for my son.'”
“So it took me a while. And then the longer I waited, the harder it was to name him.”
As for co-parenting with exTravis Scott, with whom she shares Aire and daughter Stormi, 5, Jenner says, “It’s going…I think we’re doing the best job that we can do.”
Afterfiling to change her now 20-month-old son’s name in June, a judge ruled thatJenner’s son’s name could be changed from the previous namegiven to him at birth — Wolf Jacques Webster — in early October.
Scott did not appear, but was referenced in the documents. “The Court finds that the other parent was timely notified and has not filed an objection,” the documents read. “There being no objections, the petition for change of name is granted.”
Jenner first opened up about changing her son’s name when she wrote on her Instagram Story in March 2022 that her second child “isn’t Wolf anymore.”
“We just really didn’t feel like it was him. Just wanted to share because I keep seeing Wolf everywhere,” Jenner wrote at the time, not clarifying if the middle name Jacques was axed as well.
The Kardashiansstar revealed her son’s new name for the first time in January in the caption of her Instagram post: “AIRE🤍.” A source told PEOPLE at the time that the moniker means “Lion of God.”
