A man has written to an agony aunt because his girlfriend is obsessed with billionaire Kylie Jenner. He says she constantly compares herself to the reality star and accuses him of fantasising about Jenner during sex, which he denies.
Struggling With Life Comparisons
His girlfriend, aged 26, works in a coffee shop and feels discontented with her life. She looks at Jenner and desires her career and relationships. The couple has a trip to Ibiza planned for July, but she complains that time is passing her by. He asks how to make her accept that she is destined for an ordinary life.
Agony Aunt's Response
Jane O'Gorman, the Daily Star's agony aunt, says it's tough for young people in 2026 when celebrities appear to have it all. She praises the girlfriend for working hard and saving for a holiday. However, she points out that Kylie Jenner, at 28, is an anomaly from a hugely successful media family who live by different rules.
She notes that scenes of the Kardashians at the Monaco Grand Prix are extraordinary but not real life. It's Hollywood spin and make-believe. While it's natural to feel it's unfair, life isn't fair, and we must make the best of our talents and find joy in helping others.
Advice for the Couple
Jane advises the man to explain that he is free to fantasise during sex but doesn't think about Kylie because he loves his girlfriend. She warns against starting unnecessary arguments over strangers. She also questions whether the girlfriend believes rich people have no problems of their own, noting that cash and fame don't prevent stress, insecurity, and self-doubt.
She urges the man to level with his girlfriend, asking her to stop looking over her shoulder and start living in the moment and counting her blessings. With hard work, commitment, and a plan, her life can be as interesting and successful as she wants. If she struggles with mental health, she should consult her GP.
