Inside Rob Kardashian’s relationships with his family after years away from the spotlight
His return to reality TV is a pretty big deal
The Kardashians is officially back on October 23, and guess who’s back on our screens? Yes. Let’s talk about Rob Kardashian.
Rob is arguably one of the quieter members of the famous Kardashian-Jenner crew and he usually keeps things on the down low when it comes to his relationships with the rest of his family.
After years of keeping things low-key, he’s still very much part of the mix, albeit on his own terms.
Kris Jenner
Rob’s relationship with his mom has evolved into a supportive, protective one.
Kris has always been the family matriarch, and while Rob isn’t always in the limelight like his sisters, it turns out there’s no major fallout between them, he’s simply chosen a more private lane, per E!.
Mama Kris has spoken about how she tries to be present for all her children and grandchildren, and Rob remains included in the family gatherings, even if more quietly than before.
In recent years, Rob has surfaced in some rare family posts and snapshots, including Easter photos where Kris and the extended clan gathered. That said, Rob’s comfort zone is clearly away from constant cameras and public scrutiny, something Kris seems to respect and support.
Khloé, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian
When it comes to his sisters, Rob appears to be close to them in a way that aligns with how he lives.
We’re talking less spotlight, more selective participation. For example, Khloé has referred to Rob as someone she identifies with deeply, pointing out that his desire for privacy is something she understands and supports.
Khloé once posted about Rob in a sweet birthday tribute, highlighting that her brother stays off camera because he chooses to, and that doesn’t mean he’s distant from love.
Kim, likewise, has shared rare photos including Rob, signalling that while he’s not front-and-center on reality TV, he’s still part of the family picture.
Kendall and Kylie Jenner
When it comes to the younger members of the family, Rob’s role is the affectionate older brother who’s seemingly proud but private.
Kendall and Rob have always had an easygoing relationship, built on humor and shared family loyalty. While they don’t post much together, Kendall has mentioned in interviews that she regards Rob the “best parent” among her siblings, per Yahoo.
Kylie, on the other hand, seems to have an especially warm connection with her big brother.
Rob was one of the first family members to publicly praise Kylie’s business success, and Kylie has been seen giving lavish gifts to Dream, Rob’s daughter, who is close with Kylie’s own children. She took Dream on her first helicopter ride, per People.
The two siblings reportedly see each other often, especially at family gatherings at Kris’s house or during holidays.
Dream Kardashian
Arguably the most meaningful relationship in Rob’s life right now is the one he has with his daughter Dream.
He shares her with ex-partner Blac Chyna, and though his public profile has been modest, his parenting has been praised. The family has noted that Rob’s focus on Dream is one of his best roles.
In fact, Khloé mentioned that she spends a lot of time with Dream partly because she’s with Rob a lot, underscoring how Rob has made fatherhood central to his world, per Hello!.
Reports also suggest that Rob and Dream live, at least part-time, within a supportive family environment, in a wing of his sister Khloé’s home, so Dream remains close to the broader family.
