Khloé Kardashian is sharing a rare glimpse into her close relationship with her brother, Rob Kardashian, revealing that their bond is unlike the one she shares with any of her other siblings. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, 40, explained in a recent interview that she feels a deep, unique connection with Rob, 37, who has long preferred to stay out of the public eye.
While Khloé is known for her close-knit relationship with her famous sisters, Kim, Kourtney, Kendall, and Kylie, she admits that her relationship with Rob holds a special place in her heart. “I love all my siblings, but I think with Rob, I identify with him so much,” Khloé said in an interview with Bustle. “I feel so deeply what he feels—the struggles that he has, or just wanting to be out of the public eye, or just feeling like he doesn’t fit in or is being judged about his appearance.”
Khloé went on to explain that their shared experiences growing up brought them even closer. “I feel like we were raised in pairs: It was Kourtney and Kim, and then it was me and Rob, and then Kendall and Kylie,” she shared. “I just feel like we are both each other’s protectors. I love him so much. It’s just innate.”
A Brother Who Values His Privacy
While the Kardashian family is often in the spotlight, Rob has notably stepped away from public life in recent years. Known for his appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and the short-lived spinoff Rob & Chyna, Rob has kept a low profile in the wake of personal struggles. These challenges included a turbulent relationship with his ex-fiancée, Blac Chyna, which involved highly publicized legal battles, accusations of abuse, and defamation suits.
Despite stepping back from the media, Rob has remained close with his family, making rare but heartfelt appearances at family gatherings. Khloé, who has always been supportive of her brother, said that his need for privacy is something she fully understands. “Rob has been through a lot personally,” she explained. “But he’s literally the best dad I know, and I’m so proud of him for that.”
Khloé also revealed that Rob is slowly reemerging from his hiatus, expressing hope that he may soon return to the family’s reality series, The Kardashians, which airs on Hulu. “I do think Rob would come back to the show,” she said. “He talks about it a lot, but I know that he’s been through a lot.”
A Positive Change for Rob
Rob Kardashian’s relationship with his daughter Dream, 6, whom he shares with Chyna, has been a source of joy and growth for him. Khloé has expressed admiration for the way Rob has embraced fatherhood. “I know that he is feeling really good about himself, and I’m happy for him,” Khloé said, adding that her brother’s transformation into a hands-on father has been inspiring. “I have faith that, soon, he’ll be back on the show.”

The reality star has consistently praised Rob for being a dedicated father and a positive influence on his daughter. “He’s literally the best dad I know,” she emphasized. “I’m so proud of him.”
Khloé’s heartfelt comments come as part of her continued efforts to highlight the importance of family and support within the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Her relationship with Rob, which she describes as one of mutual understanding and protection, shows a softer side of the Kardashian family dynamic, often overshadowed by public drama and media scrutiny.
Rob Kardashian’s Future in the Spotlight
Fans of the Kardashian family have long speculated about Rob’s future in the public eye. While Rob has made occasional appearances on social media and at family events, he has largely remained out of the spotlight. However, Khloé’s recent comments suggest that he may be ready for a return to television, albeit on his own terms.
In a 2023 episode of The Kardashians, Khloé shared that Rob has expressed interest in returning to the family’s reality show. She mentioned that her brother has been discussing it more frequently, although he remains cautious about diving back into the limelight. His potential return to The Kardashians could mark a new chapter for Rob, who has always had a complicated relationship with fame.
While Khloé acknowledged that Rob’s decision to return to the show is ultimately up to him, she remains optimistic about his future. “I just want what’s best for him,” Khloé said. “And if he feels ready to come back, we’d love to have him.”
As the Kardashian family continues to navigate the complexities of fame, family, and personal growth, Khloé’s heartfelt reflections on her bond with Rob offer a reminder of the importance of unconditional love and support, even behind the cameras.
