The post marked one of Rob’s rare appearances on social media, and fans were thrilled to see the tender family moment.
Family Celebrates Jenner’s Big Day
Jenner’s milestone birthday sparked tributes from all of her children.
Kim Kardashian shared a collection of glamorous photos and wrote, “There is no one more special in this whole world than you! You are blessed with the most amazing family surrounded by so much love!”
Khloé Kardashian posted a lengthy message on Instagram and described what the matriarch means to the family.
“You are elegance and controlled chaos in perfect harmony,” she wrote. “A woman who can be dressed in couture and dance on a table with a martini in hand is the chameleon that you are.”
She added that Jenner is her “greatest inspiration.”
Kourtney Kardashian Barker, who recently welcomed son Rocky with husband Travis Barker, celebrated her mom by reposting vintage family images.
Despite living a quieter life than his siblings, Rob remains close to his family and often joins them for private gatherings.
His post was a rare public reminder of his affection and gratitude for his mother, who has stood by him through personal challenges and parenthood.
Rob Kardashian Returns to Reality TV
Through Rob used to be a fixture on the incredibly popular reality TV show, he has stayed out of the spotlight in recent years.
However, the 38-year-old returned for the season 7 premiere of “The Kardashians.” He made a surprise return for a dinner at the family’s old home.
Jenner told cameras it “means the world” to her that he showed up for the special moment. He hasn’t been filmed since 2016.
“Yes, guys, you heard right. I know everyone is hoping that Rob comes back to the show, and trust me, we are too,” Khloé said in a confessional per PEOPLE.
“Rob is doing well, he’s alive,” Khloé said told cameras. “The conspiracies run wild. One of the main ones is that he lives with me. He’s in our shadows and we don’t wanna have him around us. He’s not a miserable person who lives under a bridge… We’re totally fine.”
