Kylie Jenner and Tyga's relationship has been previously criticized because of their age. The rapper is 25 years old while the reality star is still a minor until she turns 18 years old this August.
There have been previous speculations that Tyga might be taking advantage of Kylie Jenner, who at 17, has made a name for herself in the entertainment industry and has been involved in various business deals. Kylie has also recently bought a new house for herself.
"Tyga's not only in love with Kylie, he's also in love with her new mansion. It's their first home together. And yes, Tyga considers it his home too!" a source previously told Hollywood Life. "He wants to make so many lasting memories there with her, including proposing to her there."
Amid these rumors, many may have been surprised when Khloe Kardashian defended Kylie Jenner and Tyga's relationship in a recent magazine interview.
"I think at 16 I was probably f**king someone that was in their 20s, for sure," Khloe Kardashian told Complex. "...Kylie is not a normal 17-year-old.
"Kylie is taking business meetings and bought her first house, or she's going on a private plane with Karl Lagerfeld to take a meeting. That's not even what people do in their 30s. It's a rare circumstance, so let's treat this as a special case."
According to reports, Tyga is reportedly so thankful to Khloe Kardashian for speaking up and for having his and Kylie Jenner's backs.
"He called Khloe once he read the article to express his gratitude," a source reportedly told Hollywood Life. "He told her 'thank you, sis, good looking out. That's what's family's for.' Khloe told him it wasn't a problem and said she already thinks of him as family."
However, it may not be clear what the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" momager thinks of Khloe defending Kylie Jenner and Tyga's relationship.
It has been previously rumored that Kris Jenner is holding a grudge against Tyga for purportedly asking Caitlyn Jenner to walk Kylie Down the aisle when the time comes for them to tie the knot.
