Travis Scott opened up about welcoming his first child with Kylie Jenner during a recent appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."

"Going into it, I was nervous and scared … we were just both young," he told DeGeneres of parenthood.

"But, you know, when you first hold a baby in your arms, it's just like — it's uncontrollable. It's like this whole warp that just takes over your whole body," he continued. "I never thought I could love something so hard, you know? It's crazy."

Jenner gave birth to the couple's daughter, Stormi Webster, in early February. At the time, Jenner was 20 years old; Scott was 25.
