THE KARDASHIANS have lived in the limelight for decades, but one member of the family tends to shy away from the spotlight.

Fans were stunned to see the Kardashian’s reclusive male sibling, Rob Kardashian, in the background of a video his sister, Khloé Kardashian, posted celebrating her 40th birthday.

Khloé Kardashian posted a video on her Instagram on Thursday, June 27, 2024, marking the reality TV star’s 40th birthday.

The video included a montage of selfies and videos of Khloé over the years, with some snapshots including her family, friends, and children, True and Tatum.

The video also included a new photo of Khloé posing in her birthday fit, and a short clip of the Good American founder blowing out dozens of candles on an elegant, grey-colored, rose-adorned cake.

While Malika and MJ regularly appeared on Keeping Up With The Kardashians and its successor, Hulu’s The Kardashians, Rob Kardashian has stayed out of the spotlight in recent years.

While the family has never publicly addressed Rob’s “retirement” from the public eye, they maintain that he’s focused on being a great father.
