Following on from Kylie Jenner changing the name of her first-born son two months after naming him, she has revealed the correct way to pronounce his current name.
The 26-year-old Kylie Cosmetics founder is perhaps just as well known for having beautiful children as she is for being a reality star.
She first shot onto our screens with the launch of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which propelled the entire Kardashian-Jenner family to worldwide fame.
She now regularly appears on The Kardashians, often with her kids in tow.

Between 2017 and 2023, Kylie was in a relationship with musician Travis Scott, and they had two children together.
The first to arrive was Stormi, her now six-year-old daughter.
The entire pregnancy was kept as a secret from the public and Kylie revealed that she had given birth via social media on 1 February 2018, and announced her name two days later.
After a brief break up with Travis, the two rekindled their relationship and announced her pregnancy with their second child in 2021.
Their son, initially named Wolf, was announced to the world in 2022 - but Kylie had a hard time accepting it.
During an episode of The Kardashians, she reflected: "That night, I cried in the shower, I was like, ‘That’s not his name. What did I just do? Wolf?! Someone just told me this 24 hours ago, I just named my son Wolf!’
"It wasn’t even on the list!"
A month after her son's birth, Kylie posted an Instagram story that said: "FYI our son's name isn't Wolf anymore. We just really didn't feel like it was him. Just wanted to share because I keep seeing Wolf everywhere.”
She then kept the new name a secret for almost a year before revealing his new (and hopefully last!) name is Aire.
She announced this to the world by posting an adorable snap on Instagram on 21 January, 2023.
Some fans were unsure on how to pronounce the name, with one asking: "Do you think it's pronounced air or airey?"
The mum-of-two clarified by writing: "AIR", followed by a heart emoij.
Kylie has been open about her postpartum struggles after giving birth to Aire.
She wrote on Instagram: "I just want to say to my postpartum moms that postpartum has not been easy. It's not been easy, it's very hard.
"This experience for me, personally, has been a little harder than with my daughter."
She added: "Once I realised that - I was putting some pressure on myself - and I just keep reminding myself I made a whole human, a beautiful, healthy boy, and we have to stop putting pressure on ourselves to be back not even physically, just mentally after birth."
