It's not surprising that Kylie Jenner is upset over her latest split from longtime boyfriend Tyga, but the breakup is reportedly hitting Jenner even harder, and it's got nothing to do with missing Tyga himself...

Hollywood Life reported that Kylie is actually missing her time with the rapper's 4-year-old son, King Cairo, just as much as she is missing her ex. 

A source told HollywoodLife,  “They’ve been through this before and and she’s going to give him his space and let the chips fall where they may," but also revealed the time away from King is leaving Kylie with a real sense of loss. "That boy brings her so much joy. She just loves and adores him and seeing him less often will be the hardest part of this spat with Tyga." Adding, "She misses that champ already.”

The source continued to explain that Kylie wishes she could use her experience with reality TV drama to help the young boy while his parents duke it out in the tabloids, saying, “Kylie wishes she could be there for King since Tyga and Chyna are fighting over him and whether he can work on TV... But she knows that it’s not her place.”

Her missing King could be the reason behind a recent People report that said Kyga could get back together after all. “They tend to take little breaks all the time and then get back together," a source close to the situation said. “It’s definitely possible they’ll work things out again.”

Clearly the young lady is very conflicted, but time away from Tyga is probably for the best as he continues to make news for all the wrong reasons.
