Rob Kardashian Hasn't Been Seen In Public For More Than 800 Days — Where Is He?
Where in the world could he be?
Getty Images Where is Rob Kardashian? That's the question that friends, and family, and fans of the various Kardashian shows, are wondering — and have been wondering for more than 800 days.
While his sisters Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie and Kendall bask in the spotlight — to the point that they've become ubiquitous in the pop culture zeitgeist — Rob Kardashian Jr. is a bit more of a cipher. He competed on Dancing with the Stars (and came in second place), and has an endorsement deal from Coca-Cola, but outside of these accomplishments, Kardashian is known, mostly, for living in the shadow of his infinitely more infamous sisters. And that seemed to be something he was okay with for a very long time but as of late, he seems to be struggling with the familial fame, as rumors have it that he's not been seen in public for more than 800 days.
So: where is Rob Kardashian?
Let's look at what we know about the most reclusive member of the Kardashian family.
1. He only hangs out in his house?
Radar Online was the first outlet to break the story about Rob Kardashian's reclusive ways. The outlet reports he hasn't been since in public since June 2017 and doesn't post pictures to his Instagram, either. (His Instagram page is managed by his family as he was banned from the platform in 2017 after he was accused of bullying his ex-girlfriend and baby mama, Blac Chyna.)
2. The only thing Rob Kardashian really seems to care about is Dream Kardashian.
Despite his reclusive ways, Rob Kardashian really seems to care about Dream Kardashian, his daughter with Blac Chyna. Fans of the Kardashian clan are big fans of Dream, as they feel it's one of the only ways they can really get updates on Rob's life — through his daughter. However, it should be noted that Rob, himself, doesn't post to the Instagram platform.
3. His reclusiveness is nothing new.
According to In Touch Weekly, Rob Kardashian has gone back and forth with his desire for fame since the day the Kardashian clan became famous. Unlike his sisters, Rob Kardashian prefers to stay out of the limelight whenever he can. He'll occasionally "stick his head out" to get attention for his businesses but for the most part, he prefers to remain in the background.
His business ventures vary. For example, The Hollywoood Reporter notes that back in 2012, he was one of the judges for the Miss USA competition (Olivia Culpo was also a judge). He also has a sock line called Arthur George, and has partnerships with companies like PerfectSkin, Rival Spot, and the BG5. And, like his sisters, Rob Kardashian has a partnership with Coca-Cola, though what his responsibilities entail as a Coca-Cola influencer — especially since he's not a "public figure" like his sisters are — remains a bit of a mystery.
4. Will Rob Kardashian ever go back on TV?
"A reality show definitely seems taxing, and given that Rob has been working on his physical and mental health and is still a relatively new dad, he probably has a lot of other things to focus on right now. Rob has also slowed down his social media presence a lot, but he’s still relatively active on Twitter. He doesn’t usually share personal stuff — the very public argument Rob had with ex Blac Chyna when he posted nude photos of her without her consent ended all that. These days, he mostly retweets other accounts and shares photos of his daughter, Dream, who will turn three later this year," reported Refinery29, who added that while there was a chance that Rob Kardashian would make a "guest appearance" towards the end of the season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, it wasn't necessarily something to bank on.
5. He's gotten rid of a lot of drama in his life.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rob Kardashian's making strides to clean up the drama in both his personal and professional life. The outlet reports that a suit against him and BlacChyna was recently dismissed based on material fact, and Kardashian is trying to avoid getting into lawsuit trouble in the future.
6. Where is Rob Kardashian?
For now, according to People Magazine, Rob Kardashian is content with letting other people — including his daughter — speak for him. However, he just might make a public appearance in the future.
Kourtney Kardashian put it best when she said to CNBC that her brother "goes through phases." She said he periodically goes through phases where he wants to be public and where he wants to be reclusive, mostly because he wasn't aware that his sisters' fame would be so "out there." However, she said that Rob is "in a good place," mentally and perhaps that what matters the most.
