Inside Rob Kardashian's Life Today Away From The Spotlight

While it may feel like the Kardashian family is constantly on full public display, there's one member who's been out of the limelight. Rob Kardashian, the family's only son, was once regularly on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, but over the years only made brief appearances and eventually stopped filming the show altogether. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Kim Kardashian gave some insight as to why Rob isn't as much of a fixture on the show. She told Andy Cohen, "He has his moods. Sometimes he's like, 'Look, I didn't sign up for this' and then he's like, 'I'm cool to do it,'" per Refinery29.

So what is the Arthur George founder up to now? On March 17, 2021, he celebrated his 34th birthday with his family at Kris Jenner's home, a source exclusively told People. "It's only the family," the source revealed. "Dream is there too." Dream is the 2-year-old daughter Rob shares with ex Blac Chyna. Despite being largely absent on camera, he still spends a lot of time with his family. "He comes along for all the family vacations, but still prefers to stay out of the spotlight. He is working on his health and seems happy," the People source elaborated. 

Read on to learn about the current status of Rob Kardashian's health and body image, a storyline that was present on the E! Show.

In earlier episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Rob Kardashian openly struggled with depression, weight gain, and type 2 diabetes. Another insider told People, "For a long time, he was unhappy and embarrassed about the way he looked," the source revealed. "He knows he looks better. He is comfortable enough to be photographed. He wants people to know that he is doing well."

Kim Kardashian shared a photo of him from her 40th birthday bash on Instagram to celebrate his 34th birthday. In the image, Rob looks happy and healthy. According to Kim's caption, he danced the night away. She also alluded to the good place Rob is in, both mentally and physically, writing, "The way our daughters are besties warms my heart so much! I love you more than anything and am always here for you! I am so tempted to screenshot just some of our group family chat to give people a glimpse of the crazy funny insane person you are!! I LOVE YOU." Khloe Kardashian, whose close relationship with Rob was on display during the show, told People, "We never push him, everything is his free will," she revealed. "We always take photos — we have so many memories, but nothing public."
