After nearly a decade away from the spotlight, Rob Kardashian is preparing to rejoin his famous family on their flagship reality series. The 38-year-old, the only male sibling among the Kardashian-Jenner clan, was featured in the newly released trailer for the show’s upcoming seventh season, marking his first significant on-camera appearance since 2017.
The preview hints at his return, showing a scene where Khloé Kardashian arrives at a gathering and excitedly asks, “Is Rob here?” as she spots her brother seated at the table.
His departure from television followed his own short-lived spinoff series and a period of intense public scrutiny regarding his personal life. In recent years, he has largely maintained a private existence, seldom appearing on social media except in occasional family photos shared by his sisters.
In a candid discussion on a podcast this past summer, Kardashian opened up about his reasons for stepping back. He cited a prolonged discomfort with being in the public eye and a desire to prioritize his personal well-being.
“I haven’t felt comfortable in my own skin for years,” he explained. “Choosing to film means putting yourself in a vulnerable position, and that wasn’t something I wanted to do. I decided to choose my own happiness and peace instead.”
His sister, Kim Kardashian, had hinted at his comeback in recent weeks, suggesting audiences would be pleased to see him back on screen. The new season is expected to delve into this family reunion and the dynamics of his return to the world of reality television.
