Rob Kardashian starred on Keeping Up With the Kardashians with his family for years. He stepped back from reality TV nearly ten years ago. His sisters Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Kylie, and Kendall, plus their mother, Kris, continue to share their lives on Hulu’s The Kardashians. He recently made an appearance on the Hulu show and shared his shocking future TV plans.
Fans Wonder What Happened To Rob Kardashian
Rob Kardashian was 20 when Keeping Up With the Kardashians began airing on E! in 2007. The show ended in 2021 after twenty seasons. At that time, the only Kardashian son hadn’t been on the show much for five years.
He quietly took a step back from public life and his family’s reality show in 2016. However, that same year, he starred with his then-fiancée, Blac Chyna in Rob & Chyna. The couple broke up for good in 2017 after welcoming their daughter, Dream.
Since the split, Rob Kardashian has retreated from the spotlight. Fans of the show took to social media to wonder what ever happened to him. “I feel like he wasn’t fond of how fame-hungry his sisters had become (specifically kim). i believe he felt like Rob Kardashian Sr. wouldn’t have approved of how the kardashians were building a brand around their name,” one fan of the show wrote.
But other viewers had their own ideas about why the Kardashian brother quit appearing before cameras.
- “He got depressed, gained a bunch of weight and became too insecure to be on camera
- “he is just focused on being a dad and he also has some business ventures”
- “all things considered he’s doing fine, just doesn’t want to be in the spotlight and is capable of having boundaries, unlike some people we know”
- “He opted out of surgeries and fillers.”
- “Depression and substance abuse”
- “He’s living his life privately from his family. He has been shown in a few episodes”
- “The last thing I heard about him was when his daughter was going on live and Chyna was in the background and he popped in the comments and they were very nice to each other.”
Rob Kardashian did make a surprise appearance on the Season 7 finale of The Kardashians on December 25, 2025. He shared shocking plans for his future.
He Shares Shocking Future TV Plans
Despite not appearing on their Hulu show, Rob Kardashian remains close to his sisters, especially Khloe. Hulu cameras caught a conversation between the two during the Season 7 finale. Rob Kardashian made an appearance on the show during the season premiere months ago.
Khloe was telling him how excited fans were to see him again. She said they were “fangirling” over him, which Rob didn’t believe. A producer chimed in to ask Rob Kardashian if he was returning for Season 8.
“I would hope to be on season 8,” Rob said, adding, “I definitely want to film on season 8.” Hulu hasn’t officially renewed the show for another season, but it’s likely. Maybe fans will finally get a glimpse of Rob Kardashian’s life now.
