Rob Kardashian's Shocking Return: What He Looks Like After 8 Years

Rob Kardashian made a surprise appearance in the teaser for the next season of his family's reality TV show The Kardashians. The shy star, who has been a recluse for most of his adult life, has not been on the series for eight years; Rob and his ex Chyna in 2016

The Kardashians are Back, and So is Rob!

Get ready for the most dramatic season yet of The Kardashians, as the family teeters on the edge of chaos. The latest trailer has dropped, and it's packed with twists, turns, and more catty conflicts than you can shake a stick at.

But the biggest bombshell? Rob Kardashian, the shy and reserved sibling who's been MIA from the show for eight years, is back! And let me tell you, he looks like he hasn't aged a day. Spotted in a blue cap and black T-shirt, Rob was greeted by his sister Khloe with a warm hug – but don't be fooled, their reunion was just as complicated as ever.

According to a source, Rob (seen with his sisters in 2011) may not be showing his face in public much these days, but that doesn't mean he's not involved in the Kardashian business

According to insiders, Rob has been living with Khloe at her stunning Hidden Hills mansion, which she shares with mom Kris Jenner. And it's not just coincidence – rumor has it that Rob is working as the chief financial officer for Kardashian Incorporated, bringing in a hefty paycheck without having to ask for handouts from his family members.

But don't think for a second that Rob has abandoned his love life entirely. On Khloe's podcast, he revealed that while he's dated plenty of women, nothing's ever gotten serious – and it's all because his heart belongs to his adorable daughter Dream, whom he shares with ex-fiancée Blac Chyna.

And speaking of relationships, the trailer hints at some major drama between Rob's siblings. Kim Kardashian West is seen looking shaken as she reveals a chilling secret: someone close to her has put out a hit on her life! The plot thickens when Kim explains that investigators uncovered the threat through "credible sources" – but the identity of the culprit remains a mystery.

He currently serves as the chief financial officer for Kardashian Incorporated and reportedly 'doesn't need' any 'financial assistance' from his family members. 'He earns his own living. He is not taken care of, or kept, and does not just expect them to give him money,' a source said

Meanwhile, Kourtney and Khloe are at war, with Khloe accusing her sister of being consistently negative. Ouch! But things get even juicier as the two sisters exchange blows over their phone habits, with Khloe insisting she only scrolls through happy content (fashion, dogs, nails – you know, the usual).

The trailer also teases Kim's latest project: a new legal drama series called All's Fair, which stars Glenn Close and Sarah Paulson. And let's just say it looks like Kim is taking her career to the next level – with martinis in hand, no less.

But amidst all the catty conflicts and high-stakes drama, one thing is clear: this season of The Kardashians promises to be the wildest ride yet. So buckle up, folks!
