Rob sported a T-shirt and baseball cap in the November 2021 snap, as he posed next to Kris and Khloe.

The image was taken at Kris’ 2021 birthday party where she enjoyed karaoke with her family.

Kim had sweetly captioned the post: ‘Happy Birthday mommy @krisjenner. We had so much fun last night celebrating you and loved feeling what it’s like to a version of you dressing up like you.’

‘It felt powerful and fun! That’s who you are! Hearing all of your friends give speeches about how no matter what you make the time and show up for each and every of them made me happy they got a glimpse of what it’s like to be your daughter. No matter what you show up for me and all my siblings at any hour of the day and never ever complain when we all need your attention at the same time,’ Kim said.

Adding: ‘Thank you for being the best teacher and I only hope I am half the mom you are because you are the absolute best. I love you so so so much.’

He was not pictured at Kris’ birthday bash on Friday, where Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kourtney and even her granddaughter North West, nine, dressed up as Kris.

It is unknown if he was at the bash. 

Rob had been largely absent from the latter seasons of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, following the fall out from his failed relationship with Blac Chyna, who lost her $100 million lawsuit against several of his sisters and his mother Kris.

He also chose to not attend Kourtney’s lavish Portofino, Italy to Travis Barker in May 2022 because ‘he didn’t feel comfortable with all of the ‘spectacle,’ according to a report by E! News at the time.

They added that the celebration was ‘just not his thing,’ and he didn’t venture out often because he had ‘become an extremely private person’ in recent years. 

Luckily, there wasn’t any bad blood between Rob and his oldest sister, who understood his situation and desires. 

‘Kourtney and the entire family completely understand,’ the source clarified. ‘Kourtney didn’t expect Rob to attend and knows she has his support either way.’

The Poosh founder was likely cued in that Rob wouldn’t be making the international voyage after he also sat out his sister Kim’s 2014 wedding to Kanye West. 

In 2016, he revealed to People that part of the reason he skipped the nuptials was because of his discomfort with his body and weight gain at the time.

‘I was doing my suit fittings in Paris right before the wedding and I just wasn’t comfortable,’ he explained. ‘I’m 6-foot-1 and at my most I probably weighed 300 lbs. There were cameras at the airport on our trip there and I was very unhappy with the person I saw in all the pictures. I’m upset I missed my sister’s wedding, but it was a personal decision.’

Rob disengaged from the family’s former reality show shortly afterward following the implosion of his relationship with Blac Chyna.

‘Rob likes to stay out of the spotlight and keep to himself,’ the source added. ‘He will make appearances at more private low-key events but doesn’t like to be around the cameras and at events like this.’

Last year, during the reunion finale of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Khloe tried to explain Rob’s absence from the series, which she attributed more to his traumatizing relationship with Chyna than his body image and health struggles. 

‘It’s not so much about physical appearance,’ she explained, adding that he ‘just needed a break’ from filming. 

‘It’s about how he felt internally about some of the women in his life, and how they treated him or how he felt they might have used him to get to certain areas or levels,’ she continued. 

‘I think that really affected him, because my brother is such a lover, and has the most incredible heart and personality,’ Khloe gushed. ‘I think he’s just getting stronger. I think you have to get heartbroken and learn from your mistakes, and I think he’s just stronger and feeling better to be around, and be more vulnerable or exposed.’ 

In May, Rob’s former partner Blac Chyna lost her $100 million lawsuit that she filed against Kris, Kim, Khloe and Kylie for allegedly defaming her and convincing the E! Network to cancel her reality series Rob & Chyna.

The jury voted against Chyna on all counts, though they conceded that the Kardashian–Jenners often acted in bad faith.

During the intense trial, Rob testified that one celebration at the initial renewal of their show turned into an abusive fight when she allegedly pointed a gun at him, hit him with a metal rod and wrapped a phone charging cord around his throat.

In her own testimony, she denied being violent but admitted to pointing the gun and putting the cord around his neck, which she claimed was just a joke.

Rob previously got into hot water when he posted nude revenge porn photos of Chyna in 2017 to Instagram. The platform subsequently banned him, but his mother’s communication company was later allowed to run an official page for him, which he claims to not post to directly.

He and Chyna share a five-year-old daughter Dream, who spends plenty of time with her cousins but is also largely absent from their reality shows.
