Thanks to the Kardashian-Jenner clan's joint celebrations, Kris Jenner's wish to get Rob Kardashian back in the spotlight finally came true this Easter.
The only son of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, who has kept a low profile in recent years, made a rare appearance on Kim Kardashian's Instagram feed. The only son in the famous reality TV family looked happier than ever, posing with his loved ones for pictures.
Rob Kardashian is the younger brother of the famous sister trio Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé Kardashian. He is Kris Jenner's only son from her previous marriage to Robert Kardashian Sr. and the older brother of Kylie and Kendall Jenner.
Kim shared a carousel of images from her family's Easter celebrations on Instagram. The first image captured her rocking matching Skims Easter designed sleepwear with her mom, Kris, younger sister Khloé, and the younger Kardashian generation.
There were more shots of two of Kim's children, Psalm and Chicago West, Khloé's kids, True and Tatum Thompson, and Rob's daughter, Dream Kardashian, who he shares with ex, Blac Chyna. The group got together for another shot, with Rob making a rare appearance.
He donned an all-black outfit featuring a casual t-shirt and shorts while rocking white Nike socks and faux suede slippers. Rob completed his simple attire with a black baseball cap and a bright smile for the camera.
The father of one posed with one hand in his pocket and the other wrapped around Kris's shoulder.
The Easter photo dump offered a glimpse into the Kar-Jenner clan's celebrations, but the entire family wasn't captioned in the shots. Kim explained the noticeable absences in the post's caption, writing:
"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."
However, many were more concerned about Rob's appearance than the missing Kar-Jenner members.
These fans celebrated his brief return to the spotlight, with radio personality Symon gushing, "BOBBY, we miss you!!!! [red heart emojis] You look great … gorgeous family." Another echoed similar sentiments, writing:
"Everyone looks great, but the Best looking person in the photo is Rob, just to see him smiling best. He has the best accessory, that smile."
"It was nice to see Rob. He is looking cute!" A third declared, while a fourth added, "Thanks for including Rob." The love for Rob continued, with more fans thanking Kim for blessing them with a picture of her AWOL younger brother.
"YOU GAVE US ROB FOR EASTER," someone chimed while a fellow supporter noted: "I love seeing Rob in the photos!! I miss seeing him in the show and hope he is doing well!!"
Three months before Rob's surprising appearance on Kim's Instagram page, The Blast covered his mother's desire to see him embrace the spotlight. A source claimed the famous momager was exhausted with her son's days as a social recluse, claiming:
"Kris is trying to light a fire under Rob to get him to start living life again. She never imagined when he stepped back from the show that he'd still be hiding out at home all these years later."
The source continued, "It's the biggest heartbreak of her life, and she's desperate to convince him to come out of his shell." Another insider claimed Rob barely went outside his home unless it was to visit his older sister Khloé or to let his daughter Dream spend quality time with her cousins.
The second source stressed that Rob prioritized being a father over returning to the spotlight. "Rob lives for his little girl, Dream. She's the absolute center of his world, and he spends most of his time with her either at his house or over at Khloé's," they explained.
"[However,] When Khloé wants to take the kids out anywhere, 99 percent of the time Rob refuses to go," the source added. They implied the only Kardashian son might have agoraphobia after years as a reality TV star made him "terrified of being out in public and getting recognized or photographed."
Agoraphobia, per the Cambridge Dictionary, is the fear of going outside and being in public places. It can also be defined as the fear of being in a situation where it might be difficult to escape or help might not be available. In Rob's case, his reclusiveness might stem from bad experiences of being in the spotlight.
Rob's reclusiveness has been ongoing for years, with him having zero to little social media presence. However, The Blast reported he came out of his cave in 2022 to celebrate his sister Khloé. At the time, his older sister shared a stunning image of herself in an all-black ensemble.
Khloé donned a figure-hugging turtleneck top with leather pants and matching boots while flaunting her bleached blonde hair. She posed at the center of a circle made of jeans, promoting her Good American brand's various designs, from ripped numbers to skinny designs.
Khloé's beauty left many in awe, including her younger brother. Rob applauded her promotional post with the sweet comment, "My pretty princess sparkly girl." His reaction came hours after Khloé had congratulated his ex-girlfriend, Adrienne Bailon, on welcoming a baby with her husband Israel Houghton.
Will Rob Kardashian ever return to the spotlight?
