Rob Kardashian attends Kris Jenner’s birthday bash in rare sighting

It isn’t “Krismas” without a special surprise.

Reclusive dad Rob Kardashian made a rare appearance Friday, at Kris Jenner’s 67th birthday celebration, Kim Kardashian revealed in a new Instagram post.

“Happy Birthday mommy @krisjenner We had so much fun last night celebrating you and loved feeling what it’s like to be a version of you dressing up like you. It felt powerful and fun! That’s who you are!” Kim wrote.

“Hearing all of your friends give speeches about how no matter what you make the time and show up for each and every one of them made me happy they got a glimpse of what it’s like to be your daughter.”

Khloe, Kim, Kourtney, Kris, and her mom, Mary Jo “MJ” Shannon, look happy in the black-and-white snap that accompanies the sweet birthday message. Rob grins as he wears a ball cap and a T-shirt. Photos and clips from the night show Kardashians dressing as Kris to celebrate the matriarch, who was born Nov. 5, 1955.

Kim wrapped up the birthday post with: “No matter what you show up for me and all my siblings at any hour of the day and never ever complain when we all need your attention at the same time. Thank you for being the best teacher and I only hope I am half the mom you are because you are the absolute best. I love you so so so much.”

E! reports that Rob also made a “short, but sweet appearance” on the May 12 episode of Hulu’s “The Kardashians,” which highlighted Kris’ 66th birthday.

Rob has retreated from the spotlight in the years since “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” premiered in 2007. He’s weathered a very public break-up with Blac Chyna, the mother of his daughter, Dream, who turns 6 years old on Nov. 10; and emotional struggles with weight gain.

“He’s at things a lot, we just always respect his privacy,” Khloe told E! on its “Daily Pop” show in July 2020. “He’s so handsome, he’s such a good person and I just love him. And I love that he’s getting a positive response because it’s just gassing him up more. It makes him feel really good and confident.”

She added, “That’s all I want for my brother, is to feel good about himself.”
