After strategically avoiding the spotlight, Rob Kardashian is expected to appear on “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” when the show returns for Season 18 in the fall.

Over the years, fans of the E! reality series have only seen glimpses of Rob Kardashian after the star gained weight and became uncomfortable appearing on camera.

On Thursday, Khloe told People that following Rob’s weight loss, he has become comfortable with appearing on camera alongside his famous family. “Rob is going to be on the show more,” she revealed.

On June 29, Khloe shared several photos from her 36th birthday party, which featured Rob flaunting a slimmer frame.

Rob is truly my best friend. I love, love, love, him. He’s always around. People think we don’t see him, but just because the public doesn’t see him, doesn’t mean we don’t see him. We never push him, everything is his free will,” she told the publication.

“We always take photos — we have so many memories, but nothing public, so I was really happy because on my birthday, he said, ‘Oh, you can post that. I’m fine, I feel good.’ It made us feel so good that he was comfortable. And the reaction from the public was so positive that it gave him a boost of confidence. So now he is filming more,” she said.

However, the coronavirus pandemic has caused the Kardashians to limit their filming locations.

“We’re filming more within our homes, and he is right there with us. I’m excited for everyone to see that. He’s such a good person and I’m just happy he’s coming back around on camera a little bit more,” she added.

Rob currently shares custody of his daughter Dream, 3, with his ex Blac Chyna. It is unclear whether she will appear on the show alongside her father.

“Keeping Up With the Kardashians” Season 18 is expected to return in September on E!
