Rob Kardashian Returns to Reality TV With Rare Appearance in ‘The Kardashians’ Season 7 Trailer

Rob Kardashian stepped away from the spotlight more than a decade ago, only making an occasional rare appearance on his family’s social media profiles. Now, it seems he’s ready to make a comeback as he appears in the first trailer for season 7 of The Kardashians.

“Some familiar faces are back,” Kim Kardashian teases in the trailer, released Wednesday, October 1.

“Is Bob here? Bobby,” Khloé Kardashian asks before Rob, 38, is shown sitting next to sister Kourtney Kardashian at an outdoor dining table.

The Arthur George founder dressed down in a black t-shirt and a throwback Brooklyn Dodgers baseball cap for the appearance.

Fans only got a quick glimpse of the only Kardashian brother, and it remains unclear how much he will appear on camera in the upcoming season.

Rob – who shares 8-year-old daughter Dream Kardashian with ex Blac Chyna – recently opened up about his decision to lead a more private life.

“I’m not comfortable in my skin, so why would I wanna go be on camera and just be vulnerable and let people in?” he said on the July 16 episode of the Khloé in Wonderland podcast. “That’s not what I wanna do. I’m not gonna just put myself out there if I’m not comfortable with myself. I haven’t been comfortable with myself in years.”

He made it clear that his decision to not film was not the effect of any ill feelings towards a family member.

“I love filming if it’s positive, and if it’s natural, and I’m feeling good about myself,” he continued. “I like being around my family, so that stuff is good to me. Obviously, I have nothing against it. The reason I don’t is because I’m a homebody and I just choose, like I said, my peace and happiness.”

Season 7 of the family’s Hulu series premieres October 23.
