Rob wore a t-shirt and baseball cap as he posed alongside Kris and Khloe in the November 2021 snap.
The picture was taken at Kris’ 2021 birthday party where she was enjoying karaoke with her family.
Kim sweetly captioned the post: “Happy birthday mom @krisjenner. We had so much fun celebrating you last night and loved feeling what it’s like when a version of you dresses up as you.
“It felt powerful and fun! You are that! Hearing all your friends give speeches about how no matter how you take the time and show up for each of them made me happy that they got a glimpse of what it’s like to be your daughter. No matter what you show up for me and all my siblings any time of the day and never complain when we all need your attention at the same time,” Kim said.

It is not known if he was at the party.
Rob has been mostly absent from the last few seasons of Keeping Up With The Kardashians after his relationship with Blac Chyna broke up, who lost her $100 million lawsuit against several of his sisters and his mother Kris.

He also opted not to attend Kourtney’s lavish Portofino in Italy with Travis Barker in May 2022 because “he wasn’t comfortable with the whole ‘spectacle,'” according to a report by E! news back then.
They added that the celebration “just wasn’t his thing” and he didn’t venture out often because he’d “become an extremely private person” in recent years.
Luckily there was no bad blood between Rob and his eldest sister who understood his situation and desires.
“Kourtney and the entire family completely understand this,” the source clarified. “Kourtney didn’t expect Rob to come and know she has his support either way.”

The Poosh founder was likely hinted that Rob would not be making the international trip, having also put his sister Kim’s wedding to Kanye West on hold in 2014.
In 2016, he revealed to People that part of the reason he skipped the wedding was his discomfort with his body and weight gain at the time.
“I was doing my suit fitting in Paris just before the wedding and I just didn’t feel comfortable with it,” he explained. “I’m 6ft 1 and probably weighed no more than 300 pounds. There were cameras at the airport on our trip there and I was very unhappy with the person I saw in all the pictures. I’m upset that I missed my sister’s wedding, but it was a personal decision.”
Rob broke up with the family’s former reality show shortly thereafter after his relationship with Blac Chyna imploded.

“Rob likes to stay out of the spotlight and keep to himself,” the source added. “He will perform at more private, low-key events but doesn’t like being near the cameras and at events like this.”
Last year, during the Keeping Up With The Kardashians reunion finale, Khloe attempted to explain Rob’s absence from the show, which she attributed more to his traumatizing relationship with Chyna than to his body image and health issues.
“It’s not so much about looks,” she explained, adding that he “just needed a break” from filming.
“It’s about how he felt internally about some of the women in his life and how they treated him or how he felt like they might have used him to reach certain areas or levels,” she continued .
“I think that really impacted him because my brother is such a lover and has an amazing heart and personality,” Khloe gushed. “I think he’s only getting stronger. I think you need to break your heart and learn from your mistakes and I think he’s just stronger and feels better when he’s around and more vulnerable or exposed.
In May, Rob’s former partner Blac Chyna lost her $100 million lawsuit she filed against Kris, Kim, Khloe and Kylie for allegedly defaming them and the E! Network to cancel their reality series Rob & Chyna.

The jury voted against Chyna on all counts, but acknowledged that the Kardashian-Jenners often acted in bad faith.
During the intense trial, Rob testified that a celebration at her show’s first renewal turned into an abusive fight when she allegedly pointed a gun at him, hit him with a metal pole and wrapped a phone charger cord around his neck.
In her own testimony, she denied having been violent, but admitted to pointing the gun at him and putting the cord around his neck, which she says was just a joke.
Rob previously got into hot water when he posted nude revenge porn photos of Chyna to Instagram in 2017. The platform then banned him, but his mother’s communications company was later allowed to run an official page for him, on which he reportedly doesn’t post directly.
He and Chyna share a five-year-old daughter, Dream, who spends a lot of time with her cousins but is also largely absent from their reality shows.
