Work on yourself! Rob Kardashian first became a household name when he appeared on the family E! reality series Keeping up with the Kardashians. From there, fans have seen how the sock designer has adjusted to life in Hollywood and how his body has changed over the years.
Kris JennerOur only son has experienced weight fluctuations throughout adulthood. His weight gain began in the early 2010s, when he posted a throwback photo in August 2015 that said he “started here with this milkshake.” The picture Kardashian shared was taken in 2011 when she looked slimmer at Sugar Factory American Brasserie in Las Vegas.
Although she had worked hard to slim down after the initial gain, she often struggled to maintain the weight. He also retreated from the camera and public appearances became rare.
“I’m just going through a phase where I’m not comfortable in my own skin,” said Rob’s sister Kim Kardashian explained in Today in 2015. “He’s working hard to get back to where he wants to be.”
The KKW Beauty mogul says she doesn’t “definitely think” her struggles have anything to do with fame. However, he believes it has something to do with “things in his life that he hasn’t done” over time.
“Whether it was, you know, losing our dad, or certain separations or, you know, they were very close. Lamar [Odom] and when you know, Khloé [Kardashian] and he broke up, which was very difficult for him,” he explained. “So, I think there are a few things.”
Rob was hospitalized in December 2015 after being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes six months earlier. He had another diabetes-related hospitalization the following year.

She showed off her slimmer frame again in June 2020, when she appeared at her sister Khloé’s 36th birthday celebration.
The following year, Khloé revealed that her sister was dating again.
