If you feel like the foundation of your Calabasas mansion is crumbling beneath your feet, there's a good reason for that. Kylie Jenner and Tyga have broken up .

People began to suspect something was amiss in paradise when the two attended the Met Gala separately. And while there have been breakup scares before, now both Kylie and Tyga have acknowledged the split.

First, Kylie Snapchatted herself lip syncing to "Sorry." As we all know, referencing Lemonade amidst breakup rumors is essentially confirmation that you are dropping a cheater. 

Then, Tyga spoke to TMZ about the split. 

"We're both just focused on our individual lives and sometimes things don't work out," he said. "I love her, so you know."

The last Instagram Kylie posted with her ex is, fittingly, from Coachella. 


Loyal Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans will remember that this road began when Kylie got Tyga to perform at Kendall's Sweet Sixteen party and Kylie was clearly smitten with the rapper.

Kylie was 14 at the time, while Tyga was 20. He was in a relationship with Blac Chyna and a little less than a year after that fateful birthday party, the couple's child, King, was born. 

Blac Chyna and Tyga split, and Kylie and Tyga became involved when Kylie was sixteen years old and he began writing romantic lyrics like, "They say she young/I should have waited/ She a big girl, dog/ When she stimulated. I'm puttin' in, I'm penetratin'/ I'm gettin' big, I'm stimulated."



When asked about the child Rob Kardashian is expecting with Tyga's ex, Blac Chyna, Tyga simply said, "people grow and evolve." Tyga declined to comment on Rob Kardashian as a stepdad to King, so we will all have to draw our own conclusions.
