Rob Kardashian Makes Rare Appearance for Kim Kardashian's Birthday
Blac Chyna Praises Ex Rob Kardashian as "Best Dad" in Rare Update
Rob Kardashian is always keeping up with his loved ones.
The former reality star made a rare appearance alongside the rest of his family as they celebrated sister Kim Kardashian’s 46th birthday at the restaurant Baldi at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills Oct. 20.
Rob kept a bit more casual than the rest of the krew, sporting an all black ensemble while sisters Kim, Kourtney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner, as well as mom Kris Jenner, opted for more elaborate ensembles. And while Kim arrived in a plunging, short green dress and bejeweled headdress, she made a quick-change inside the bash and left the restaurant wearing a red version of the same look—complete with a new headpiece.
The outing was a rare one for Rob, who has kept a low profile since he decided to step back from filming Keeping Up with the Kardashians a decade ago—although he did appear on both the season seven premiere and finale of their Hulu show The Kardashians in 2025.
And the 39-year-old’s decision to forgo reality TV was not because of his relationship with his family.
"There’s definitely nothing wrong between any of us," he clarified on Khloe’s Khloe in Wonder Land podcast in July 2025. "It just has everything to do with myself. I don’t wanna be filming and putting myself in a position where I’m not comfortable. I’m not comfortable in my skin, so why would I wanna go be on camera and just be vulnerable and let people in when that’s not what I wanna do?”

Still, Rob—who shares 9-year-old daughter Dream Kardashian with ex Blac Chyna—has toyed with the idea of returning to The Kardashians, especially after Khloe told him in a filmed phone call that viewers were "swooning and freaking out" over his inclusion in the show’s trailer.
“I would hope to be on season eight," Rob shared of the show. "I definitely want to film on season eight."

And his sisters are there to support him no matter what decision he makes, with Kim saying on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy with Andy Cohen in October, "If he’s in the mood and in a good headspace to know that he wants to put himself out there, he's so down."
"Obviously we want to respect whoever doesn’t want to be on," she stressed. "All of us don’t have to have the same dreams and goals. So, he changed his up a little bit and now, he’s like, 'I don’t mind it.'"

Vintage Haute Couture
Kim donned two high-fashion looks for her birthday bash, debuting her first as she exited the car: a plunging, short green dress from the Paco Rabanne haute couture fall-winter 1995 collection. She completed her look with an elaborate headdress adorned with emerald-colored detailing and black kitten heels sandals.

Seeing Double
The reality star was clearly so enthralled with the look—chosen by stylist Law Roach—that she wore a red version on her way out of the restaurant, also from the same Paco Rabanne collection. While she kept her heels the same, Kim switched out the headpiece to a red, chain-mail style, finishing off the outfit with a long necklace that complimented the headpiece.

Rob’s Rare Outing
The 39-year-old—who has largely remained out of the spotlight since choosing to leave reality TV 10 years ago—made a special appearance for his sister’s birthday, although he opted for a slightly more casual look than the rest of his family, wearing black pants, a black shirt and jacket and a black cap.

One Chic Momager
Kris looked just as fashion-forward as all of her kids, wearing a long, butter yellow coat with a floral design as well as brown and yellow feathers across the front and sleeves. She finished off her look with cream pumps, pearl earrings and her signature black bob.

Growing Old Gracefully
As Kim reached her 40s, she found that she started looking at aging in a new light, telling The Sunday Times in an interview published Oct. 3, “There’s definitely something about being in your 40s that gives you this extra confidence. You know your path and that feels good.”
“I’ve switched my mentality, and now I’m coming from a place of longevity and cellular health,” she added. “I love trying things to make me feel confident but I’m more into things that contribute to a healthy lifestyle.”

Family First
Kim also found that becoming a mom to kids North, 13, Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 7, with ex Kanye “Ye” West made her appreciate her own relationship with her family even more.
"My family was so close growing up; now that I'm a mom, I understand the bond my mom and dad felt with us," she shared in a 2017 blog post. "There can be ups and downs with kids but no matter what, I always learn so much from them.”
