Kim Kardashian exudes confidence in her brother Rob Kardashian's ability to keep up with fans' expectations. Following Rob's surprise appearance in the season seven premiere of The Kardashians, the SKIMS founder expressed optimism about the 38-year-old, who took a step back from reality TV in 2017, potentially making another cameo on camera. "If he's in the mood and in a good headspace to know that he wants to put himself out there," Kim explained during an Oct. 28 appearance on SiriusXM's Radio Andy with Andy Cohen. "He's so down and great and silly, it's just been a choice for him to want to chill a bit."
For now, Kim - mother to North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6, with ex Kanye West - is sure that Rob "feels good" about his latest appearance on the show, saying goodbye to mom Kris Jenner's old home. "He wants to be on," she noted.
For Kim and her sisters Kourtney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner, it has been refreshing to have their entire family show up for the reality series - but they are in no way looking to force it. "Obviously we want to respect whoever doesn't want to be on," Kim explained. "All of us don't have to have the same dreams and goals. So, he adjusted his a bit and now he's like, 'I don't mind it.'"
Indeed, while Rob - father to Dream, 8, with ex Blac Chyna - has appeared on the latest season of his family's reality series, he previously discussed with sister Khloe why he chose to mostly stay out of the spotlight in recent years. "I don't wanna be filming and putting myself in a position where I'm not comfortable," Rob detailed during a July appearance on Khloe in Wonder Land. "I'm not comfortable in my skin, so why would I want to go be on camera and just be vulnerable and let people in when that's not what I want to do?"
However, the Rob & Chyna alum emphasized that his absence from filming does not signify any issues within the family. "There's definitely nothing wrong between any of us," he added. "It just has everything to do with myself." At the time, Rob also clarified that there are situations when he loves filming. "If it's positive and natural and I'm feeling good about myself," he shared. "I like being around my family so that stuff is good to me."
