Fans Celebrate Rob's Brief Return To The Spotlight

The Easter photo dump offered a glimpse into the Kar-Jenner clan's celebrations, but the entire family wasn't captioned in the shots. Kim explained the noticeable absences in the post's caption, writing:

"EASTER 2025. I couldn't get all the sisters, kids, aunts, cousins, and laughs in the pics, but the memories are so real. Happy Easter everyone."

"Everyone looks great, but the Best looking person in the photo is Rob, just to see him smiling best. He has the best accessory, that smile."

The Only Kardashian Son Reappeared Months After His Mother's Plea

Three months before Rob's surprising appearance on Kim's Instagram page, The Blast covered his mother's desire to see him embrace the spotlight. A source claimed the famous momager was exhausted with her son's days as a social recluse, claiming:

"Kris is trying to light a fire under Rob to get him to start living life again. She never imagined when he stepped back from the show that he'd still be hiding out at home all these years later."

The source continued, "It's the biggest heartbreak of her life, and she's desperate to convince him to come out of his shell." Another insider claimed Rob barely went outside his home unless it was to visit his older sister Khloé or to let his daughter Dream spend quality time with her cousins.

Rob's Reclusiveness May Stem From Agoraphobia

The second source stressed that Rob prioritized being a father over returning to the spotlight. "Rob lives for his little girl, Dream. She's the absolute center of his world, and he spends most of his time with her either at his house or over at Khloé's," they explained.

"[However,] When Khloé wants to take the kids out anywhere, 99 percent of the time Rob refuses to go," the source added. They implied the only Kardashian son might have agoraphobia after years as a reality TV star made him "terrified of being out in public and getting recognized or photographed."

Agoraphobia, per the Cambridge Dictionary, is the fear of going outside and being in public places. It can also be defined as the fear of being in a situation where it might be difficult to escape or help might not be available. In Rob's case, his reclusiveness might stem from bad experiences of being in the spotlight.

Rob Kardashian Came Out Of Hiding Three Years Ago

Rob's reclusiveness has been ongoing for years, with him having zero to little social media presence. However, The Blast reported he came out of his cave in 2022 to celebrate his sister Khloé. At the time, his older sister shared a stunning image of herself in an all-black ensemble.

Khloé donned a figure-hugging turtleneck top with leather pants and matching boots while flaunting her bleached blonde hair. She posed at the center of a circle made of jeans, promoting her Good American brand's various designs, from ripped numbers to skinny designs.
