Jenner explained why she kept her pregnancy secret on Instagram, shortly after announcing Stormi's birth in February 2018. "I knew for myself I needed to prepare for this role of a lifetime in the most positive, stress free, and healthy way I knew how. There was no gotcha moment, no big paid reveal I had planned," she shared. "I knew my baby would feel every stress and every emotion so I chose to do it this way for my little life and our happiness."
In a Vogue Australia interview later that year, Jenner expanded on her decision. "I knew that it would be better for us, if me and Stormi just stayed kind of low-key," she said. "I just felt like it was a sacred special moment and I wasn’t ready to share it with everybody. I just wanted to keep that to myself."
