Discovering Blac Chyna’s Little Legends: The Stories of King Cairo and Dream Kardashian, Plus the Significance Behind Her Daughter’s Special Name!

King Cairo Stevenson, 12

Chyna and Tyga welcomed their son, King Cairo, on October 16, 2012. Shortly after his arrival, the couple got engaged, but they ultimately ended their relationship around two years later.

“It’s significant to me and Tyga not to have negative vibes,” she remarked to Cosmopolitan South Africa in March 2017. “Children absorb energy.”

Tyga shared how King’s birth transformed his way of living, expressing to PEOPLE in 2016, “He makes me step back and truly enjoy life … When you introduce something like that into the world, your entire universe kind of halts. It slows down and you start viewing everything in a new light.”

With two renowned parents, King has already acclimated to the red carpet. He’s participated in the Kid’s Choice Awards on two occasions — once with her mother in 2017 and again with his father in 2019. However, the preteen isn’t necessarily aiming to emulate their careers. Instead, he’s concentrating on academics and athletics.

“King’s a delightful boy. He’s incredibly bright,” Chyna expressed in a March 2023 interview on The Jason Lee Show. “He is involved in soccer and enjoys tech classes,” she added.

Regarding the entertainment sector, the former reality TV star conveyed that she aims to keep him away from it until he reaches adulthood. “[I want them to] experience a childhood filled with dreams and imagination without the pressure of work,” she stated.

In June 2024, King attended another industry event with his mom, the grand opening of her new salon, HeartsPure by Angela White. A few months later, Chyna, who has her son’s name inked on her hand, lauded King in an Instagram tribute for his 12th birthday.

“Mommy is immensely proud of you for being the best big brother, the smartest in school, and the finest soccer player,” she wrote alongside a series of photos. “King, you can fly; there are no limits to what you can achieve. It’s a privilege that God selected me, Angela, to be your mother.”

Dream Renée Kardashian, 8

Chyna and Rob welcomed their daughter, Dream Renée, on November 10, 2016.

The rapper publicly announced her pregnancy in May 2016, shortly after she and Rob revealed their engagement. The couple ended their relationship in early 2017.

Before Dream’s birth, Chyna and Rob had already settled on a name for their baby girl. “They named her Dream because they’ve always stated she’s a dream come true,” a source disclosed to PEOPLE. Her middle name, Renée, is also Chyna’s own middle name.

Following their separation, Chyna and Rob reached an agreement to share joint custody of Dream. “I believe that effective co-parenting relies on communication and respect,” Chyna told PEOPLE at that time. “We intend to do the best we can.”

Dream is surrounded by numerous aunts and cousins. “It requires a community to raise a child, and I’m glad that Dream has a vast village filled with love from both sides,” Chyna mentioned to TMZ in 2023. “As a mother, that’s all I can desire.”

In November 2024, Dream even referenced her notable extended family during an Instagram Live on her mother’s account. When viewers prompted her to select a favorite aunt and cousin, she simply replied, “All of them.”

Chyna has previously indicated her desire for Dream and King to experience a typical life despite their parents’ celebrity. “My children will attend a public school to maintain that normalcy,” she shared with PEOPLE in 2017. “I believe that enclosing someone within a bubble is simply not beneficial.”

In a 2023 conversation with Entertainment Tonight, Chyna reiterated this sentiment, clarifying that she didn’t want her daughter to enter the entertainment realm until she turned 18.

“I will support her in whatever she chooses when she is of age, but if [the entertainment industry] is something she is passionate about, then I will back it completely,” she stated. “I prefer for [my kids] to be protected and have their fantasies. That’s critically important to me.”

While Chyna prefers that Dream refrain from entering the limelight just yet, she does allow her younger child to explore that arena. In 2022, Dream featured in an Amazon Glow advertisement alongside her grandmother Kris Jenner, whom she refers to as Lovey. She has also made a few cameo appearances on The Kardashians and in September 2024, she made her modeling debut on the New York Fashion Week runway.

A few months prior, Dream introduced her first song, titled “Besties Do It Better.” Chyna shared a preview of the track on Instagram along with several images of her daughter in a pink tutu at her initial dance recital.

To celebrate her 8th birthday in November 2024, Dream had a soccer-themed party organized by her aunt, Khloé Kardashian. Chyna also posted a heartfelt message on Instagram for her daughter, commemorating the event.

“I am so appreciative for every moment spent with you,” she penned. “Happy 8th Birthday to the most beautiful, intelligent, and humorous girl in the universe. I feel extremely blessed that God chose me to be your mother. I will always treasure these moments with you until the day I pass; you are my best friend.”
