Rob Kardashian has basically been in hiding for the last two years at sister Khloé Kardashian’s home. He’s completely avoided the spotlight, missed major family events, and gained over 100 pounds while battling depression.
In recent weeks, we’ve seen Rob reemerge looking happier and healthier than he has in years — and that’s all thanks to an added confidence boost from girlfriend Blac Chyna.

“The whole family sees that it’s her who brought Rob back,” a family insider says of the 27-year-old makeup salon owner in the new issue of Us Weekly. Mom Kris Jenner is especially thankful. Continues the source, “Kris is so grateful to Blac Chyna for rehabilitating her son.”
The secret to Chyna’s success: simple TLC. Rob, who split from his last girlfriend, Rita Ora, in 2012, “went forever without any girl being interested in him,” says a pal. “His confidence was shattered for so long, so to have this banging girl all over him has given him a new lease on life.”
Newly self-assured and 65 pounds lighter than he was at his heaviest, per a source, Rob has been appearing in public more as of late. He and Chyna, says the Rob source, often hang with her 3-year-old son, King Cairo: “They have fun all day long.” The toddler joined them for a March 16 visit to Legoland near San Diego.
Three days before that, Rob and Chyna hit up the BritJam music festival in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Rob, who snapped photos with fans, “was very social,” the event MC, DJ Crazy Neil, tells Us. Neil even grabbed Rob from the VIP section: “I dragged him out and made him dance!”
But for all Chyna has done for Rob, the Kardashians aren’t quite ready to fully embrace her. The onetime close friend of Kim Kardashian had a falling out with the family in 2014 after then-fiancé Tyga (the father of King Cairo) dumped her and began dating Kylie Jenner. Says the family insider, “There’s no ill will toward her, but yes, they’re cautious because of the Kylie and Tyga situation.”
We love that Rob’s getting happy and healthy again. We just hope he’s doing the spiritual work to be able to keep it up on his own and not be so dependent on whichever woman’s in his life.
