The rapper and his ex-partner, Kylie Jenner, share two young children: Stormi, six, and Aire, two.
Scott and the 26-year-old Kylie Cosmetics founder have been in an on-and-off relationship since 2017, before most recently splitting in 2022.
She is currently dating Timothée Chalamet.
Just a week before his arrest in June, Scott was involved in a skirmish with Jenner’s ex, Tyga, in Cannes.
Over the years, the rapper has had a few run-ins with the law.

On November 5, 2021, hundreds of people were filmed stampeding for a VIP entrance at the Live Nation-hosted event, sparking fears of overcrowding and poor crowd control.

Travis Scott was filmed continuing to perform after eight people were crushed to death, including two victims aged just 14 and 16, with one witness saying it was a “floor of dead bodies”.
Videos circulating on Twitter showed the crowd chanting “Stop the show, stop the show!”
Although the concert was declared a mass casualty event at 9:38 p.m., the show continued until 10:15 p.m., bringing harsh criticism to Scott, who was headlining and promoting the festival.
The Houston-born rapper, along with festival organizers Live Nation and ScoreMore, faced numerous civil lawsuits accusing them of negligence and wrongful death.
However, in June of last year, a Houston grand jury decided that Scott would not face criminal charges for his role in the deadly mob rampage.

In November last year, two years after the stampede, Scott broke his silence on Astroworld in an interview with GQ, saying he was “so devastated” by the tragedy, adding that he thought about the disaster “all the time.”
Scott said: ‘When you make music, you think about the things that happen in life and the things that happen to you in life, and you focus on them. That time for the families, for the city, you know, it was devastating. And when it came time to make, or even finish the album… I went back to it probably like, I don’t know, months and months and months later.
“And the idea of getting back into music, working on music and just getting into that, it was therapeutic to be able to channel some of the energy into production and sounds and finishing it.
‘I mean I was very devastated, you know. Yeah… Yeah, I always think about that. Those fans were like my family. You know, I love my fans to the max.
In May of this year, Scott and Live Nation settled nine wrongful death lawsuits.
