Rob Kardashian made a rare public appearance at sister Kim Kardashian’s 46th birthday celebration in Beverly Hills on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, joining his family for a dinner at the Waldorf Astoria’s Baldi restaurant while keeping a low profile away from the spotlight.
Photographers spotted him wearing a black zip jacket, denim, a black baseball cap, and later a simple black Nike T-shirt paired with a diamond chain and his visible tattoo sleeve. The 39-year-old former reality star stepped out alongside his mother, Kris Jenner, and sisters Kim, Khloé, Kourtney, and Kylie Jenner as they arrived at the Beverly Hills steakhouse. Unlike his glamorous siblings, who leaned into high fashion, Rob kept his aesthetic casual.
Rob Kardashian Joins Family Dinner
Rob first stepped back from the family’s long-running television projects in 2014 after eight seasons of Keeping Up With the Kardashians and later made a brief spinoff appearance with his ex, Blac Chyna.
His sisters remain very protective of him and respect that he prefers a quieter life without any pressure to match their public routines.
Sources noted that he has been focused on his health.
Sources noted that he looks great.
Just because he’s not part of their public lives doesn’t mean that he’s not part of their private lives. He’s there for the celebrations, family gatherings and all the important moments. He’s a great dad and a wonderful uncle.

During a July 2025 appearance on sister Khloé’s podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land, Rob addressed his reasons for staying out of the public eye.
I don’t wanna be filming and putting myself in a position where I’m not comfortable. I’m not comfortable in my skin, so why would I wanna go be on camera and just be vulnerable and let people in when that’s not what I wanna do? I’m not just gonna put myself out there if I’m not comfortable with myself.

Kourtney wore a purple mini dress. Kylie wore dark teal. Khloé opted for a sheer nude sheath. Kris wore a yellow floral coat. Kendall Jenner was absent from the gathering.

Although Rob did not make a full-time return to the family’s Hulu series, The Kardashians, he has left the door open for potential future appearances when conditions feel right and natural.
