Shortly after multiple reports surfaced claiming Kylie Jenner is expecting her first child with the rapper, many are curious to learn more about this famous boyfriend.

Social Media Game: While Kylie may be known as the Queen of Snapchat, we can't underestimate Travis' presence on social media. According to Instagram, the 25-year-old has a whopping 5.7 million followers. As for Twitter, 2.14 million people look forward to his messages in 140 characters or less. We know it's nowhere close to Kylie's 97 million Instagram followers, but it's more than we could ever dream of.

Snubbed by the Grammys: When the Grammys revealed their nominations for this year's show, many in the industry were expecting Travis to get a nomination. After all of the names were called, vice president of A&R at Epic Records, Sickamore, posted a somber picture of Travis with the caption: "reading the Grammy nominations like…." Travis would comment by writing "So hurt man."

Gave my family a present I been working on my whole life. A home," he shared on Instagram. "Very thankful. Watch insta story for they reaction."
