Kaitlynn revealed on Wednesday that she was shocked by the newfound interest people had on her after she dated the Malibu singer.

She told the mom of one: “What happened to me, like, basically just after Miley and I went our separate ways, I thought, ‘OK, like, my life’s just kinda going back to the way it normally was for me when I’m on my own.’

“I had no expectations that anyone would give a s**t about me by myself. I had no plan in place. I didn’t think about anything.

“For example, I was dealing with a lot emotionally at that time, obviously, and I really wasn’t going out anywhere. I was just staying home.”

She further explained once she had stepped out with Miley, the public would be interested in who she was hanging out with – something she wasn’t comfortable with.

The 31-year-old further explained: “I just didn’t anticipate anything like this happening. I’m used to it when I’m, like, with Brody or when I was with her, but never when I’m on my own. My mind is just swirling.”

“I was just so mortified. The narrative was so not what the actual situation was and that was such a wake-up call for me.”

The reality TV star further explained that her experiences with dating such high-profile people made her take control of her public image.

She said: “I had never thought about what my narrative even was or what it was going to be. I had always gone with the flow or whatever people say they say, I don’t care.

“In relationships especially, I have always taken a back seat a little bit and sort of trusted the person I’m with to run the show, especially publicly because it’s never really been something that I wanted. I never really wanted to put myself out there that way.” […]

“But the bigger picture, the rest of the world, where you don’t know everyone, that’s like a whole other level and that was not really something that I was ever [ready for].

“I was naive.

“You don’t get to be so nonchalant about it.”

Most recently, Kaitlynn penned a personal essay where she opened up about her relationship with Miley for the first time.

She wrote for Elle: “This past July, I went on vacation with a female friend; the next thing I knew, I was in love with her.

“Until that trip, it had never crossed my mind that I was even capable of loving a woman the way I loved her. But after reflecting on my romantic history, I realized that I’ve never really had a ‘type.'”

Despite being so in love, the two called it quits just after one month of dating back in August and September 2019.

Kaitlynn and Miley’s relationship caused such an uproar due to them dating so quickly after they had separated from their partners.

After one year of marriage, Kaitlynn ended things with her husband, Brody Jenner in August.

Miley and Liam Hemsworth also separated in August after getting married in December 2018.
