The Kylie Jenner and Tyga Relationship Timeline

March 30 2020, Published 8:14 p.m. ET
Before beauty mogul and reality star Kylie Jenner moved on with Travis Scott, she was all about another rapper, Tyga. It was Jennerās first public romance, and it began with online birthday shout-outs that led to people wondering, āare they or arenāt they?ā Eventually, the two lovebirds confirmed they were a thing, and it was hard to spot one without the other as āKygaā was officially born.
The duoās bold fashion sense made them eye candy for photographers, and their lavish gifts and drama made their love story all the more interesting for Jennerās many fans. Like so many young celebrity romances, this wasnāt one without its share of controversy and feuding, particularly with Tygaās angry baby mama. Their romance eventually came to a screeching halt but not before a lot of photos were taken of the couple, as well as a few juicy KUWTK storylines.

Let us take a trip down memory lane to revisit young love in the age of Instagram.
NOVEMBER 2011: MY SUPER SWEET 16

In 2011, Tyga performed at Kendall Jenner's Sweet 16 birthday bash, driving the crowd of teens and pre-teens to throw their hands up in the air. Of course, big sisters Kim and KhloƩ were there to chaperone, as was younger sister, Kylie, who was just 14 at the time. No word on whether or not she was already flirting with the rapper back then.
AUGUST 2014: KYLIE AND TYGAāS FIRST PIC
Kendall, Chris Brown, Tyga, Kylie and others from their cool kids posse struck a pose on Kylieās Instagram feed in a late night black and white selfie from Kylieās 17th birthday party. Fans noticed it was the first time Kylie showed a pic of herself with Tyga, although they had appeared together before that.
Tyga was 24 at the time and engaged to Blac Chyna, but that relationship ended that same month, which was interesting timing. Tyga and Chynaās son, King Cairo, was two at the time.
SEPTEMBER 2014: JUST RUMORS

Just in case anyone thought that Jenner had something to do with Tygaās single status, the rapper posted a message (in all caps) on Twitter: āDONāT BELIEVE THE RUMOURS. BEEN FRIENDS WITH THE FAMILY FOREVER. WERE ALL JUST FRIENDS.ā
OCTOBER 2014: HALLOWEEN
Jenner and Tyga spent Halloween together, documenting the day with a photo of the two of them in their costumes. Jenner was wearing sexy lace lingerie with a black leather coat over it, and he was a werewolf. This time, momager Kris Jenner shut down those dating rumors. She told Ryan Seacrest that her youngest daughter was just hanging out āwith a little group of kids who have been around forever.ā She also emphasized that the youngest Jenner was single.
NOVEMBER 2014: THANKFUL FOR EACH OTHER
When the club Greystone Manor refused 17-year-old Jenner entry, Tyga happened to pull out of his appearance at the club. Of course, it was all just speculation that the two incidents were connected, and Kylie was already getting pressure from her family to distance herself, which may have been why she wasnāt at Tygaās 25th birthday party. Despite rumors that Kylieās family disapproved of her having a relationship with the older rapper, they still spent Thanksgiving together.
FEBRUARY 8, 2015: RAPPER BATTLES
Because Grammy afterparties donāt necessarily have strict minimum age entry requirements, Jenner attended one afterparty with big sisters Kendall and KhloĆ© and, of course, Tyga.
Around that same time, Drake dropped the track ā6pm In New Yorkā which had the lyrics āYou need to act your age and not your girls age.ā He was clearly referring to Tyga, who had called Drake āfakeā in an interview with Vibe Magazine.
FEBRUARY 14, 2015: KHLOĆ JOINS THE FRAY

Adding more fuel to this raging fire, model and actor Amber Rose, who had married and split from Wiz Khalifa (and had also dated Kim Kardashianās hubby, Kanye!) sat down with 105.1ās The Breakfast Club and straight-up dissed Tyga saying, āHe has a beautiful woman and a baby and left that for a 16-year old who just turned 17. Like, nah.ā
KhloĆ© didnāt let emotions get the best of her when she threw a few Tweets Roseās way,āWe get asked questions about people all the time and my sisters and I always take the high road and donāt answer. Truth is we donāt know these people. I donāt know Amber so why would I comment on her? Iām not going to comment on someone I donāt know. Please stop talking about us in interviews, mama. None of us talk about you.ā
Mind you, all of this feuding was based merely on RUMORS that Jenner and Tyga were dating.
FEBRUARY 19 to 20, 2015: BREAKFAST DEBUNKING

Tyga once again denied the dating rumors by going on The Breakfast Club less than a week after Roseās appearance. The rapper said that he did not āleave my family to be with Kylie. Thatās ridiculous.ā
The next day, it was Kanye Westās turn to go on The Breakfast Club, and it appeared like he stumbled over his answer when questioned about Tyga and Jenner. It was later revealed that his original answer was edited, and that he had said, āI think they in love.ā
MARCH 24, 2015: WATCH āEM FIGHT!
Blac Chyna showed off her latest gifts ā a diamond Audemars Piguet watch and a hot pink convertible ā on Instagram, but fans quickly noted these were gifts given by Tyga from when they were still together. Kylie posted her own Instagram selfie, also wearing a diamond Audemars Piguet watch, within hours. The feud was officially on!
APRIL 2015: FEUD ROUND TWO!
When the #KylieJennerLipChallenge took over social media, Blac Chyna got in on the fun with a selfie of herself sporting a Kylie-esque hairstyle and bee-stung lips. She left fans guessing what the pic meant by opting not to post a comment or the Jenner hashtag.
A few days later, Chyna got a little more personal with a screenshot of text messages from someone named āKingās Father.ā The screenshot showed him asking Chyna if he could come over, stating that he wanted to be a family again. Tyga didn't deny that the texts came from his phone, but he posted the cryptic caption, āLove is getting a tattoo of the person you love on one of the most painful areas of the human body.ā
JUNE 15, 2015: NORTH WESTāS BIRTHDAY

When North West celebrated her 2nd birthday at Disneyland in a private section of Frontierland, all the Jenners, Kardashians and Wests were on hand to celebrate. Tyga also showed up, bringing his baby along for the birthday celebrations.
JUNE 24, 2015: RED CARPET COUPLE

After months of rumors swirling, Kylie and Tyga made it official and posed as a couple on the red carpet at Cannes with Kylieās mother, Kris, and Krisā boyfriend Corey Gamble.
In July, KhloĆ© once again came to the defense of her younger sibling. In an interview with Complex, she stated that Jenner āis not a normal 17 year-old,ā since āother 17 year olds typically wear braces and have slumber parties.ā By comparison, Jenner was a teenager who went on business meetings in private jets. āItās a rare circumstance, so letās treat this as a special case,ā she concluded.
AUGUST 9, 2015: HEY, BIG SPENDA!
For Jennerās 18th birthday, Tyga bought his girlfriend a Ferrari 458 convertible worth $320,000. A few days later, he was whisked away to St. Barts on the Kardashian/ Jenner family vacation.
That same month, Tyga dropped āStimulated,ā which had the lyrics, āThey say she young, I shouldāve waited/ Sheās a big girl, dog when she stimulated.ā It didnāt take fans long to realize that the track was about Jenner, also because she was featured in the video for the song. Five days later, the two appeared side-by-side at the MTV Video Music Awards.
NOVEMBER 2015: BREAKUP RUMORS

Tyga turned 26 on November 19, 2015, and rumors began swirling that Jenner had dumped him. A few days later, Jenner and Tyga took to Snapchat to shut down those rumors as they prepared to attend Justin Bieberās AMA afterparty. Just to cement the fact that the two were still together, Jenner even sat down on the Ellen DeGeneres show and told the audience that the rumors were a flat-out lie.
JANUARY 8, 2016: MORE TROUBLE IN PARADISE
Trouble brewed with reports from Us Weekly that Brazilian model Annalu Cardoso had been having sleepovers at Tygaās house whenever Jenner was out of the country. Tyga met the buxom blonde on the set of one of his music videos, and she even appeared on his MTV2 show, Kinginā with Tyga. This started a tiny Instagram war between the two women.
Meanwhile, Black Chyna had started dating Kylieās brother, Rob Kardashian, in what could have been the latest shots fired in her ongoing feud with Jenner.
MARCH 2016: PACKINā ON THE PDA

Just to let every buxom model know that Tyga was her man, Jenner started posting a series of PDA-heavy Snapchats of her and Tyga. Even so, the two walked the red carpet separately at the Met Gala, while at the same time wearing matching Balmain outfits. Fans speculated that they had broken up again.
AUGUST 2016: ANOTHER BIRTHDAY, ANOTHER CAR

Tyga rang in Kylieās 19th birthday with a $200,000 Maybach, and the lovebirds took off to Turks and Caicos with Jennerās BFFs Hailey Baldwin and Bella Hadid.
DECEMBER 2016: ALL IS FORGIVEN?

On December 12, 2016, Chyna and Jenner appeared to have made up when Jenner posted a photo on Snapchat of her cradling her newborn niece, Dream, Chynaās daughter with Kylieās brother, Rob. On December 14, Kylie became Chyna and Robās landlord, and then a few days later, Rob and Blac Chyna were no more, as she left him with their daughter.
Jenner and Tyga finished their year by appearing in a short film by Sasha Samsonova for W Magazine that featured them taking a shower together, meant as a ālittle surprise gift for the world.ā
JANUARY 2017: ROUND 3!


Jenner showed off a āTā tattoo on her ankle, obviously as an homage to her current beau, and Tyga showed his love by name-dropping Jenner in his new track āFeel Meā with Kanye West. A few months later and Chyna took to social media to blast Tyga for failing to pay child support. The model also accused her baby daddy of cheating on Jenner with two women named āTerrellā and āHeather.ā A new Instagram battle between Jenner and Chyna ensued.
APRIL 2017: BUH-BYE, T!

People reported that Kyle and Tyga were taking a ālittle break," as Kylie quickly replaced the "T" with an "LA" tattoo. Soon, Jenner could be seen hanging out with her long-time friend, musician Travis Scott. The two of them were seen together at Coachella and an NBA playoff game, looking very close for people who were just friends.
MAY 2017: A NEW āTā IN TOWN
Jenner then attended the annual Met Gala, breaking the rules by taking a selfie with a group of friends that included Travis Scott. Tyga was nowhere to be seen. Later, Jenner joined Scott in Miami for the Rolling Loud Festival and showed off a new butterfly tattoo that Travis Scott got around the same time.
That was pretty much it for Kyga with lots of commentary on why the breakup happened, including rumors that Jenner was still obsessed with her ex, as her new docu-series, The Life of Kylie, debuted on E!
AUGUST 2017: LOOKING BACK

On an episode of The Life of Kylie, the cosmetics queen reflected on her break-up with Tyga in April. āThere was absolutely not one thing wrong with me and T. He and I will always, always have a bond,ā she said. āThere was no crazy fight, we just decided ⦠Well, I decided that Iām really young. I donāt want to look back in five years from now and feel like he took something from me when heās really not that type of person.ā
OCTOBER 2019: BACK WITH TYGA?

Even after having a baby with Travis Scott, things eventually came to an end with them, and just one month after the split, there were rumors that she was back with Tyga. Jenner quickly shut down those rumors.
JANUARY 2020: THE KYLIE VS. CHYNA FEUD FOREVER!
Even with Tyga completely out of the picture, the feud between Kylie and Blac Chyna continued. In November of 2019, Jenner took her niece Dream on a helicopter ride for her third birthday. It ended up being the same helicopter that crashed, killing Kobe Bryant a few months later, and Chyna was livid slamming her choice. Let's see what happens next.
