Kylie Jenner welcomed the new year by introducing her son on Instagram after giving birth last year. Named Aire (pronounced air), Kylie also showed a few photos of her second child. It was assumed Kylie was waiting to introduce her son on their new Hulu show, The Kardashians, but she never did.
Waiting to introduce a Kardashian-Jenner baby until cameras were present is something the famous family used to do on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. It was what made the show feel personal since they got to share the news their way. But now that KUWTK is no more after 20 seasons, there are some harsh realities when rewatching or comparing KUWTK to The Kardashians.
The Downfall Of Rob Kardashian
KIWTK eventually turned into a reality show about Kris Jenner and her kids Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Kendall, and Kylie. However, it used to shine the spotlight on the women’s brother Rob Kardashian as well.
Fans love rewatching KUWTK’s early seasons to see how Rob interacted with his sisters. Sadly, Rob fell into some troubling times and eventually stopped appearing on the show. From his issues with his weight to feeling forgotten about, Rob’s decline is a harsh reality to be reminded of because he’s so loved.
The Rise And Fall Of Lamar And Khloé
Khloé and Lamar Odom used to be one of KUWTKs best couples. After a whirlwind romance where they only knew each other for a couple of weeks, the two got married on TV. As one of the more relatable Kardashians, it was exciting that Khloé was finally happy in a relationship after seeing multiple fall apart.
As is the case for most of these famous women, relationships were hard to keep. Lamar and Khloé were so in love, which is why it’s such a harsh reality knowing they not only didn’t work, but they had a lot of problems behind closed doors.
Scott And Kourtney Were Not Meant To Be
For a long time, Scott Disick and Kourtney were the perfect pair. They were opposites who brought each other out of their shells. Over time, however, their age difference became obvious, and Scoff acted too immaturely.
It was a harsh reality to see them go through so many ups and downs surrounding the deaths of parents, cheating allegations, and eventually, three kids. It was a harsh reality knowing the rollercoaster of a relationship these two had didn’t pay off, but it was for the better.
Knowing Kim Gets Robbed
Even if there are unpopular opinions about Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the world rallied around Kim when she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris.
While she was alone in her hotel, men broke into her room and stole her jewelry after threatening her. The men took what they wanted before fleeing and the cops showing up. The cameras did not film the actual robbing, but the family was filming a new season. Fans saw the aftermath of how shaken up Kim was, and how it brought the family closer together.
The Demise Of Caitlyn Jenner's Relationship With Everyone
When Caitlyn Jenner transitioned, she had the family’s love and support — especially from Kim, Kourtney, and Khloé. Considering this all happened while the family filmed KUWTK, it was hard for the family to say goodbye to Bruce but was exciting seeing Caitlyn live her truth.
Sadly, when Caitlyn released her book, The Secrets of My Life, she bashed her ex-wife Kris for being controlling and for causing a rift between her and her children. The Kardashian kids were devastated that Caitlyn disparaged their mother, and a rift in the family began, which was a harsh reality to accept considering how close the family once was.
Knowing Tristan Thompson Cheats With Jordyn Woods
Fans were thrilled for Khloé when she and NBA star Tristan Thompson started dating and fell pregnant. But when videos released of him cheating on her when she was nine months pregnant, things changed. Cameras rolled during Khloé's happiest and worst time as she birthed her first baby while dealing with her cheating boyfriend.
The two stayed together but it became a harsh reality when Tristan did it again — this time with Kylie Jenner’s best friend Jordyn Woods. One of Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ more iconic scenes was when Khloé screamed “Liar!” on the phone after hearing more about their tryst. It was hard to accept that Khloé was going through something so dark for the second time on camera.
Staged Scenes
As authentic as the Kardashians are, there were some scripted scenes on KUWTK. These scripted moments were even proven by the family in later years.
Knowing that some of the more iconic scenes were scripted, however, can be a harsh reality. Some of these moments were when Kris Humphries proposed to Kim, Khloé caught Corey Gamble with another woman (who happened to be Kris), and when Kris and Kylie argued over bigger office space at Kylie Cosmetics.
Caitlyn Wasn’t A Great Dad To Her Sons
Before Caitlyn transitioned, her relationship with her sons (the Jenners) was touch and go. As seen on KUWTK, Brody Jenner, in particular, felt like his dad abandoned them. He couldn't help but be jealous that she was more present for the Kardashians than the Jenners.
As the Jenners got older, Brody tried talking to his dad about their father-son issues, but it was met with denial. It was a harsh reality for fans seeing how hard Brody tried with his dad but it went nowhere.
Khloé Was Never Accepted Or Respected For Her Size
For years on KUWTK Khloé talked about her identity struggles and how difficult it was being the “bigger” sister. It wasn’t until after her divorce from Lamar that Khloé focused on fitness and became confident in her skin.
Before she got to the point of feeling confident and bold, there were countless times on the show when the designers didn’t have the same cute clothes for her that they had for Kim and Kourtney. Her struggles were relatable but also disheartening to watch.
Rob And Blac Chyna Drama
Rob was on and off KUWTK. He seemed to only appear when he felt confident around his family and was tired of being lonely. This was especially true when he had a new girlfriend, Blac Chyna. This became a dramatic relationship because Chyna was the ex-girlfriend of Kylie’s ex-boyfriend, Tyga.
The family was unsure at first but eventually accepted Chyna into their family. This was especially true when the couple got pregnant. Sadly, the two became toxic and their breakup became a storyline in itself. It was a harsh reality to see Rob so happy and then so sad in a short period.
