Rob Kardashian

Robert Arthur Kardashian is an American television personality best known for his appearances on the reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians alongside his family, as well as its various spin-offs. He gained further public prominence in 2011 as a contestant on the thirteenth season of ABC's Dancing with the Stars, where he finished in second place, and later starred in his own reality television series, Rob & Chyna.

He was born on March 17, 1987, in Los Angeles, California, to attorney Robert Kardashian and Kris Jenner. He is the fourth and youngest child and the only son of his parents, growing up alongside three older sisters: Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé. Following his parents' divorce in 1991, his mother married Olympic decathlete Caitlyn Jenner, through whom he gained step-siblings Burt, Brandon, Brody, and Casey, along with half-sisters Kendall and Kylie. His father passed away from esophageal cancer in September 2003. Kardashian later attended the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business, graduating in 2009.

In 2011, Kardashian competed on season 13 of Dancing with the Stars paired with Cheryl Burke. Despite nearly being eliminated in the fourth week, he became the most improved dancer of the season and advanced to the finals, ultimately placing second behind J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff. In 2012, he appeared as a contestant on the Fox dating game show The Choice and served as one of the final judges for the Miss USA 2012 pageant.

Kardashian has engaged in several business ventures over his career, collaborating with brands such as PerfectSkin, Rival Spot, and BG5. In 2012, he launched his own sock line named Arthur George. That same year, he publicly announced plans to attend the University of Southern California to study law, though the USC Gould School of Law clarified on Twitter that he had not applied.

His personal life and relationships have frequently been documented on television. He dated actress Adrienne Bailon from 2007 to 2009 and singer Rita Ora in 2012. In January 2016, he began dating model Blac Chyna, and the couple announced their engagement in April 2016. Their relationship and preparations for parenthood were featured in the reality series Rob & Chyna, which premiered on September 11, 2016. The couple welcomed a daughter, Dream Renée Kardashian, on November 10, 2016, before concluding the series and announcing their split in December 2016.

Kardashian experienced health issues in December 2015 when he was hospitalized and diagnosed with diabetes, leading to a second brief hospitalization in December 2016. In July 2017, Kardashian was banned from Instagram after posting explicit photos of Chyna following accusations of infidelity, though an official account managed by Jenner Communications remained active.
