Gold-digging men everywhere, rejoice, because the hottest billionaire on the planet just became available. Kylie Jenner is single again, after ending her two-and-a-half-year relationship with rapper Travis Scott.

Last week, the news broke that the pair had called it quits in September, following a series of furious rows.

Kylie confirmed the split on Twitter, adding that “our friendship and our daughter is our priority”.

But, after a bit of crying, friends say the lipgloss queen is already back on her feet, and ready to show the world she’s doing just fine without him.

“Kylie clung on to this relationship as long as she could,” says an insider close to the 22 year old, who is mum to Stormi, 20 months.

“Things hadn’t been good for a while, but she was so sure they could work things out. They got serious so quickly – she got pregnant just weeks into the relationship – and she’s spent the past couple of years trying to coax Travis into a more settled family routine. But he just couldn’t seem to do it and, in the end, he decided they should take a break."

"He hated hurting Kylie and it nearly destroyed her, but he knows he can’t give her what she wants. He felt stifled by his home life, and as much as he loves Stormi, he didn’t want to be Kylie’s husband.”

Travis, 26, and Kylie have endured a roller-coaster romance since hooking up at Coachella in 2017. And we’re told things hadn’t been right since Travis was dogged by cheating rumours in March.

Last week, Kylie attended her friends Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber’s wedding without Travis – and friends say it’s a sign she’s starting to move on.

“She pulled herself together in time for the wedding and made damned sure she picked a dress that showed Travis what he’s missing,” says the insider.

“The fact that she also made sure Stormi was in the pictures was a total power move. She’s definitely sending a message that she’s through the worst of the pain and is determined to be better off without him.”

Proving she wasn’t wasting any more time moping, Kylie was photographed visiting an LA hotel at 2am, where her ex Tyga was recording – another show of strength, says the friend.

We’re told, “Kylie might be young, but she’s savvy and tough. You don’t get to be one of the world’s youngest billionaires without having a backbone.

"She’s not going to let herself sit at home fretting about a man for long – especially not one who couldn’t understand how lucky he was to have her and Stormi."
