LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a rare public appearance, Rob Kardashian, 36, was spotted celebrating his daughter Dream's seventh birthday at an opulent, spa-themed party. Eagle-eyed fans caught glimpses of the usually reclusive star in the background of a video shared by Khloé, capturing the festivities in the Kardashian compound.
Dressed in his trademark ensemble of a baseball cap, black T-shirt, shorts, and trainers, Rob mingled in the yard as the children enthusiastically attacked a pink pinata, as per Daily Mail.
Rob Kardashian was prominent fixture on 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians'
As the only brother in the Kardashian clan, Rob was a prominent fixture on 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' until Season 7 premiered in 2012. However, he decided to step away from the reality show at that point, according to PopSugar.
Since then, Rob has maintained a low profile, making only sporadic on-camera appearances and mostly keeping his private life, especially with his daughter, Dream, away from the lens.
According to Khloe, the hiatus might not be permanent. Speaking on a recent episode of Disney+'s 'The Kardashians,' the sequel series to 'KUWTK', she hinted at a potential return: "I do think Rob will come back to the show. He talks about it a lot. He does. But I do know Rob has been through a lot personally, but he's literally the best dad that I know, and I'm so proud of him for that. He's just feeling really good about himself. So I have faith that soon he'll be back on the show."
Rob Kardashian's breakup with Blac Chyna
Rob's retreat from the public eye began around 2012 and intensified after a tumultuous split from his ex-fiancee, Blac Chyna. Their relationship, which commenced in early 2016, quickly became highly publicized, culminating in an engagement after less than three months. Dream was born in November 2016, but the couple separated in 2017 amid rumors of infidelity.
Their relationship led to the reality series 'Rob & Chyna', documenting their relationship and preparations for parenthood. However, the show concluded in December 2016, mirroring the unraveling of the couple's personal lives.
The public breakup took a bitter turn, with Chyna filing a lawsuit against the Kardashian family. In 2017, Rob's Instagram posts accusing Chyna of infidelity and sharing explicit images resulted in a ban from the platform. Nevertheless, an official account managed by Jenner Communications remains active.
Today, Rob actively co-parents Dream with Chyna, sharing physical custody. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight in August, Chyna remarked on their evolving relationship: "I feel like with everything — time heals everything, and people change, and situations change, and you get to see the situation for what it is, and the situation is Dream."
Rob Kardashian focuses on healthier lifestyle
Since the conclusion of 'KUWTK' and the debut of 'The Kardashians', Rob has made sporadic appearances on the show. Over the past few years, he has also undergone a significant physical transformation. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2015, the former reality star shifted his focus to a healthier lifestyle, 'PEOPLE' magazine reports.
In 2019, Rob reportedly revamped his workouts alongside sisters Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe. Today, he primarily concentrates on caring for his daughter and maintaining an active exercise routine.
The journey from reality fame to relative reclusion has seen Rob undergo not just personal and legal battles but also a notable transformation, both physically and emotionally. The elusive Kardashian's future appearances on the family's reality franchise remain uncertain, adding an element of intrigue for fans eagerly anticipating his return to the limelight.
