Rob Kardashian has been seen in a photo with his family for the first time in years.

Best known for his appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the 38-year-old also appeared on Dancing with the Stars in 2011.

The only son of Kris Jenner and the late Robert Kardashian, he is the youngest sibling of Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian.

Despite spending years in the spotlight with his famous family, in recent years Rob has lived a quieter life away from the glare of the cameras.

Last week Khloe, 40, admitted her brother ‘loves to be a little elusive’.

In an interview with UFC boss Dana White on her podcast Khloe in Wonder Land, he also said he hadn’t seen Rob in close to a decade despite considering them friends.

A few days on Rob has appeared in a rare snap with his family after not been photographed publicly in nearly three years.

In a photo shared by Kim, 44, on Instagram, Rob is seen posing with his sister, as well as Kris and Khloe too.

‘EASTER 2025. I couldn’t get all the sisters, kids, aunts, cousins and laughs in the pics but the memories are so real. Happy Easter everyone ♡,’ she wrote,

Also in the photo that Rob appeared in was his daughter, Dream, 8, along with her cousins Psalm, Chicago, True and Tatum, the children of Kim and Khloe.

The snap was also shared by Kris, who’s post was flooded with many messages from fans saying they were happy to see Rob with them.

‘Seeing Rob makes me happy,’ Tiffany commented.

‘Rob! We all missed you,’ Veronica shared.

‘We love you Rob,’ La Toya added.

Rob, who has 3.2 million Instagram followers, rarely shares photos of himself on social media, instead posting snaps of his daughter, whom he shares with ex Blac Chyna, and birthday messages to his extended family.

Despite him rarely appearing online or in family snaps, Khloe recently said they were all still close.

‘We all live in the same gated area, so he lives right next door to me,’ she said.

Speaking to Bustle in December, she also described her brother as her ‘baby’.

‘I love all my siblings, but I think with Rob, I identify with him so much. 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,’ she said.

‘I feel like we were raised in pairs. It was Kourtney and Kim, and then it was me and Rob, and then Kendall [Jenner] and Kylie [Jenner]. And I just feel like we are both each other’s protectors. I love him so much.’

Rob was last pictured in February 2022 while dropping Dream at a rock-climbing centre for a play date.

Since then, he’s only made two fleeting appearances on social media posts – in a video last summer to mark Khloe’s 40th birthday and in the background of a TikTok video shared by Khloe on Dream’s seventh birthday.

He’s not been seen on The Kardashians reality show in several years.

In 2015 Khloe had previously commented on her brother wanting to spend time away from others: ‘Rob is such a great guy. He’s charming, charismatic, everything. That’s what’s so infuriating. I’m like, “Where is your will to live life? Let’s be around people!”.’

Meanwhile Kris said the following year that he’d decided to step away from the family’s reality show as he was ‘depressed and not feeling good’.
