Rob Kardashian poses with his famous family in the swimming pool in a must-see photo that triggers reactions

Rob Kardashian is a fan favorite of the Kardashian family, but over the past decade he has retreated from the spotlight and rarely appears online or on the family's reality show.

However, fans were reminded of the father-of-one's time on the long-running show this weekend when Kim shared a throwback photo on Instagram from her early days on Keeping up with the Kardashians.

In the picture, Rob, Kim, Khloe and Kourtney pose in the swimming pool during a family vacation.

One snapshot shows Kourtney posing on Rob's shoulders, and the group photo shows Kourtney and Rob laughing as the Poosh founder pretends to push Kim into the water.

The Skims founder simply captioned the photo, “nostalgic,” which drew a ton of comments from fans. “Golden era of the Kardashians,” one fan wrote, while another commented, “This makes me want to watch KUWTK again!” A third added, “We miss you Rob!”

Although Rob no longer appears on social media, he occasionally posts pictures of his personal life with his eight-year-old daughter Dream, whom he has with his ex Blac Chyna.

Rob lives near his sister Khloe's house and his daughter is often there too and can be seen in cute photos that her aunt has posted on social media.

Khloe has previously revealed that she considers herself a third mother to Dream. During an episode of The Kardashiansin which Khloe helped plan Dream's sixth birthday party in 2022, she said, “Dream is one of my babies too, just like everyone else, and I love being a mom to people.

“I love mothering people. I don't know if they like it or not, but being a mother is in my blood. I wouldn't have it any other way.”

Khloe added: “I feel like a third parent to Dream. I know how important it is for Dream to have a big maternal influence – whether that comes from me or her own mother or whoever, it's important and wherever she gets it from, she gets it.”

The star also praised Rob's parenting skills: “Rob does an incredible job with her and I'm just there to help whenever he needs it.

“Rob and I are incredibly close, we always have been,” she said.

Khloe even wears a necklace with the names of both her children and Dream, which shows how much the little girl means to her. Rob is more than grateful for Khloe's close involvement in his family life and that was more than evident when he paid his respects to her on her birthday.
