Kylie Jenner experienced postpartum depression with both of her pregnancies, a reality that she shared with Vanity Fair Italia in February of this year. “I have experienced it. Twice. The first time was very difficult, the second was more manageable,” she said, before offering advice to new mother going through the same thing. “I would tell those women not to over-think things and to live all the emotions of that moment to the fullest. Stay inside that moment, even if it is painful. I know, in those moments you think that it will never pass, that your body will never be the same as before, that you will never be the same. That’s not true: the hormones, the emotions at that stage are much, much more powerful and bigger than you. My advice is to live through that transition, without fear of the aftermath. The risk is to miss all the most beautiful things of motherhood as well.”

Earlier this year, Lucy Hale took to Instagram to share that she had achieved one year of sobriety. “This is a post about self-love and about the greatest thing I’ve ever done,” she captioned. “On January 2, 2023, I celebrated one year of sobriety. While this journey has mostly been private, I felt compelled tonight to let anyone who is struggling know that you are not alone and you are loved.” Days later, on an episode of podcast The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett, Hale shared that her issues with alcohol came in the company of eating disorders and a low sense of self-worth. “I tried to change for boyfriends, I tried to change for my mom, I tried to change for my career, I tried to change for vain reasons—‘I’ll look younger and look skinnier. I’ll stop drinking for that.’ One of my best friends died of alcoholism, and that still didn’t make me want to get sober,” she said, going on to note that in her case, alcohol wasn’t the problem—the problem was “this feeling inside of me.” Hale’s sobriety came from a deep desire to prioritize peace—and herself. “I said, ‘I deserve more out of this life. I have to try it a different way.’ ”
