Khloé Kardashian has been very vocal lately about all matters concerning her troublesome brother, Rob Kardashian. She casually referred to him as “the Wizard” when she spoke with celebrity party planner Mindy Weiss. Khloé claims that this particular nickname illustrates Rob’s wish to remain out of the public eye. He likes to work behind the scenes, like the original Wizard of Oz.
Rob Kardashian lives in a gated neighborhood next door to Khloé Kardashian’s home. It’s the physical closeness that allows them to remain so personally and emotionally intertwined. This is all really exciting, particularly considering Rob’s recent proclivity for hibernation. Khloé is obviously well aware of the difficulty that Rob faces. She’s depicted as having a deeper bond with him than she has with her biological sisters.
“I feel so deeply what he feels — the struggles that he has, or just wanting to be out of the public eye, or just feeling like he doesn’t fit in or is being judged about his appearance,” Khloé shared. This feeling really goes on to describe their special relationship, filled with compassion and empathy.
Rob has historically been a hard man to find, something frequently shorthand for “elusive. Khloé commented on how he’s always “huggable” — driving home the point that she loves her little brother that much. Yet their conversations quickly turn to the details of his social calendar. In one episode, Khloé was surprised by Rob’s close ties to UFC president Dana White, despite both of them not having seen each other in nearly a decade.
Khloé dropped another juicy nugget in her conversation with Weiss. She shared how frequently Rob shows up to things, especially to “Dream’s parties,” and how he’s gracious and grateful every single time. “He always thanks the vendors at ‘Dream’s parties’,” Khloé noted. His daughter, Dream, who he shares with his ex-partner Blac Chyna, is still a big part of his life.
Rob’s love life has been another subject of public interest, especially when it comes to his past romance with Malika Haqq. What began as a fun, tongue-in-cheek prank to get Khloé goofed on turned into a whirlwind, fiery romance for Rob. At any rate, during that time, he described the relationship as deeply satisfying.
It’s clear from Khloé’s loving words just how much Rob meant to her. She paints the portrait of their relationship that goes above and beyond natural sibling bonds, based on respect and appreciation for one another.
