Watch: Rob Kardashian Makes Rare Social Media Return for Khloe Kardashian’s Birthday

Rob Kardashian is keeping up with family milestones.

The 39-year-old joined the rest of his family as they celebrated Khloe Kardashian’s 42nd birthday, marking a rare occasion in which the youngest of Kris Jenner and Robert Kardashian’s four kids has appeared on social media since stepping away from the spotlight. 

In the carousel of images Khloe shared from her elegant bash, Rob wore blue and white athletic shorts, a black tee, matching sneakers and a baseball cap as he smiles alongside his family. 

Joining him for a couple duo shots was his 9-year-old daughter Dream Kardashian, whom Rob shares with ex Black Chyna. In one, Rob holds two peace signs up behind his daughter while Dream hugs him in the second.

Featured in the carousel were sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Kim Kardashian, mom Kris, Khloe’s kids Tatum and True, their dad Tatum Thompson as well as Khloe’s BFFs Malika and Khadija Haqq, among other pals.

The Good American co-founder captioned the June 30 carousel, referencing family that weren’t present such as sisters Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner, “How blessed am I? Missing a few but they’re always with me.”

Khloe’s party was decorated with an abundance of pink balloons in every shade, pink and white flowers as well as at least three pink birthday cakes. The theme was, as she described in a second Instagram post, “Champagne, Cavalli and Caviar.”

“Still floating from all the birthday love,” Khloe—who wore a paneled, figure-hugging orange gown for her special day—captioned her June 29 post. “Thank you for making my day feel so special. My heart is full, and I feel incredibly blessed.”

As for Rob, his appearances on public and online are kept to a minimum.

Other than sharing a Story in May supporting his niece North West’s album, the only Kardashian’s last post was for Dream’s 9th birthday in November.

“Thank you for making me proud every day,” he captioned his post at the time, which featured Dream smiling in front of a cake, “I love you so much!!”

As he put it, “I am Happy when you are Happy. Happy Birthday.”
