It’s not easy to keep up with Rob Kardashian.
While the younger brother of KourtneyKardashian, 46, Kim Kardashian, 44, and KhloeKardashian, 40, may stay out of the spotlight more than his sisters do, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum does still make an appearance every so often—this time, in Kim’s latest Instagram post.
“Happy Birthday to my ace,” Kim wrote in a June 25 Instagram post celebrating the birthday of longtime pal LaLa Anthony alongside two selfies of the trio, Rob smiling in each one. “Truly the bestest best friend a girl could ask for! I love you so much!!!! Today’s your day!”
Fans flocked to the comments to express their joy over the rare peek at Rob’s life—which now includes the role of dad to Dream Kardashian, 8, whose mom is his ex Blac Chyna. As one user shared, “Sorry but Rob stole the show in this photo.”
“Love seeing rob,” one comment read, while another said, “Rob still handsome.”
Ultimately, as another user put it, “Everyone just hyped Rob is in the photo.”
As the only son of Kris Jenner and the late Robert Kardashian, Rob has often retreated from the cameras unlike his entrepreneurial sisters—including Kris and Caitlyn Jenner’s daughters KendallJenner, 29, and KylieJenner, 27.
However, that doesn’t mean Rob isn’t spending time with the rest of the crew in private.
“My brother loves to be a little elusive,” Khloe explained in an April episode of her podcast Khloe in Wonderland. “I call him the Wizard from The Wizard of Oz ‘cause he likes to be behind the curtain. We all live in the same gated area, so he lives right next door to me.”
Kourtney also recently shared what her little brother means to her and emphasized their special bond.
“I love all my siblings, but I think with Rob, I identify with him so much,” she told Bustle in December 2024. “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.”
As Kourtney explained, “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. And I just feel like we are both each other’s protectors. I love him so much. It’s just innate.”
