Rob Kardashian Age 2026: How Old Is Rob Kardashian?

Last updated: 11 November 2026 | By Celebamerica Editorial Staff

Rob Kardashian is 39 years old as of November 2026. His full name is Robert Arthur Kardashian, and he was born on 17 March 1987 in Los Angeles, California. He turns 40 on 17 March 2027 — a birthday that will land right in the middle of a year when the most private Kardashian has, bit by bit, started stepping back into view.

That slow return is why people keep asking how old Rob Kardashian is. He was 20 when Keeping Up With the Kardashians first aired in 2007, 24 when he danced his way to second place on Dancing With the Stars, 29 when his daughter Dream was born, and 38 when he made his first on-screen appearance in nine years on Hulu’s The Kardashians. He spent most of his thirties out of the spotlight, raising Dream and running his businesses away from the cameras, while his sisters built billion-dollar brands in full public view. Then, in October 2026, he turned up at his sister Kim’s 46th birthday dinner in Beverly Hills — one of his rare public outings in years — and within weeks, reports surfaced that he was exploring a documentary of his own. This page answers the age question properly: the exact birth date, his age at every big moment of his life, how his age compares with each of his famous sisters, and what 39 looks like for the quietest member of television’s most famous family.

Rob Kardashian Quick Facts

How Old Is Rob Kardashian in 2026?

Rob Kardashian was born on 17 March 1987, which makes him 39 years old as of November 2026. The maths is simple, and every major source agrees on it: Wikipedia lists his birth date as 17 March 1987, his age is given as 39 across TV Insider, Simple Wikipedia and the celebrity databases that track the Kardashian family, and the family’s own coverage through 2025 and 2026 has described him as 38 and then 39 as the birthdays passed. He will turn 40 on 17 March 2027.

Why does the question come up so often? Because Rob is the Kardashian the public sees least. His sisters mark their birthdays with televised parties, magazine covers and product launches. Rob’s birthdays pass quietly. When he does appear — a photo at a family dinner, a short scene on Hulu — viewers who remember him as the baby-faced 20-year-old from the first season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians do a double take. Nearly two decades have passed since that first season, and the young man who once trailed his sisters through boutiques and nightclubs is now a 39-year-old father of a ten-year-old daughter, a university graduate, a businessman, and a man who has spent a decade deciding, on his own terms, how much of his life the cameras get to see.

There is one more reason the age question never quite goes away: the family keeps getting older in public, and Rob’s age is the anchor for the whole timeline. He is the youngest of Kris Jenner and Robert Kardashian Sr.’s four children, born eight years after Kourtney, six years after Kim and nearly three years after Khloé. When Kourtney turned 47 in April 2026 and Kim turned 46 in October 2026, Rob was still 39 — the baby of the original four, and the only son.

Early Life: Born Into a Famous Los Angeles Family

Robert Arthur Kardashian was born on 17 March 1987 in Los Angeles, California, the fourth and youngest child of attorney Robert Kardashian and Kris Jenner. His father was already a well-known Los Angeles lawyer — a member of O.J. Simpson’s defence team in the 1995 trial — and his mother was building the management instincts that would later turn her children into a global brand. Rob grew up in the family’s homes in Beverly Hills and Calabasas, the only boy among three older sisters, in a household where fame arrived early and stayed.

He was seven years old when his parents divorced in 1991, and eight when his father’s role in the Simpson trial put the Kardashian name on front pages around the world. He was 16 when his father died of oesophageal cancer on 30 September 2003 — a loss that shaped him in ways he has spoken about rarely and only in passing. His mother married Caitlyn Jenner (then Bruce Jenner) in 1991, and Rob gained two half-sisters, Kendall and Kylie, born in 1995 and 1997, when he was eight and ten.

Unlike his sisters, Rob was never the one chasing the camera as a teenager. Family accounts and early episodes of the reality show paint him as the quiet one — close to his father, fond of his sisters, happier behind the scenes. He attended the University of Southern California and graduated from the Marshall School of Business in 2009, at 22, with a degree that would later underpin his own business ventures. That education is one of the least-discussed facts about him, and one of the most telling: while the family business ran on fame, Rob was the sibling who actually studied business.

He was 20 when Keeping Up With the Kardashians premiered on E! in October 2007. The show made the family famous in a way nothing before it had, and Rob — barely out of his teens — became a television personality by association, then by his own presence on screen. He was never the star of the show. He was the brother, the son, the comic relief, the one whose weight, dating life and moods became storylines he had not chosen. That tension — famous without ever quite wanting to be — has run through everything he has done since.

Rob Kardashian Age Timeline: How Old He Was at Every Big Moment

An age is only a number until you hang a life on it. Here is Rob Kardashian’s story told through the ages at which it happened — the clearest way to see how much of his adult life has played out in front of cameras, and how much of it he has kept for himself.

Two things stand out from that timeline. First, Rob spent his entire twenties on television and most of his thirties off it — the reverse of a normal celebrity career, and a deliberate choice he has explained in his own words. Second, the moments that matter most to him now — fatherhood, health, privacy — all belong to the second half of the timeline, the part the cameras mostly missed.

Career Rise: From 20-Year-Old Reality Newcomer to Dancing With the Stars Finalist

Rob Kardashian did not set out to be famous. Fame arrived with the family show, and for the first few seasons he was a supporting player in a cast built around his sisters. But he had his own moments. The best-remembered came in 2011, when he was 24 and joined season 13 of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars as a celebrity contestant, partnered with professional dancer Cheryl Burke. Week after week he improved, won over an audience that had mostly known him as a punchline, and finished second — behind J.R. Martinez, ahead of a field of far more experienced performers. It remains the high point of his television career, and the clearest evidence that the public liked him when it got to see him on his own terms rather than as a footnote in his sisters’ storylines.

The full sweep of that career, from the early E! years through the businesses and the long step back, is covered in our Rob Kardashian biography, and the GuideNetWorth version of Rob Kardashian’s biography tells the same arc from a different angle. What matters here is the shape of it: a young man who was famous at 20, a genuine television success at 24, and a man who walked away from the machine in his late twenties because the cost of staying in it was higher than the reward.

After Dancing With the Stars, Rob stayed on Keeping Up With the Kardashians through its middle seasons, appeared in spin-offs including Kourtney and Kim Take New York and Khloé & Lamar, and launched his own businesses. But from around 2014, when he was 27, his appearances thinned. By 2016, the year Rob & Chyna aired, he had largely stopped being a regular presence on the family’s shows. Keeping Up With the Kardashians ran for 20 seasons until 2021 without him as a fixture, and when the family moved to Hulu for The Kardashians in 2022, Rob stayed away — for nine years, until the season 7 premiere in October 2025.

That 2025 return, at 38, was brief but warm. He appeared at a family party, sat for the season finale dinner in the family’s former Hidden Hills home, and told Khloé on camera that he wanted to film season 8. “I definitely want to film on season 8,” he said in the December 2025 finale, in words that were quoted across the entertainment press. Season 8 premiered on Hulu on 8 October 2026, and as of late October he had not yet appeared on screen in the new season — though his sister Khloé has said the family hopes he returns, and viewers reacted warmly to his brief comeback.

The Money at 39: Arthur George, TV Fees and a Ten Million Estimate

Rob Kardashian’s money is the least flashy fortune in his family, and the most often misunderstood. Celebrity Net Worth puts his net worth at about $10 million, a figure checked in September 2026 and repeated by Parade and other outlets. It is an outside estimate, not a number Rob has ever confirmed, and no audited records exist. For the full breakdown of how that figure is built — and why other sites quote different numbers — see our sister site’s look at Rob Kardashian’s net worth, which works through the same estimate in detail.

Where did the money come from? Three streams, in rough order of size. First, reality television. Rob was a cast member on one of the most successful reality franchises in television history, and while the family’s per-episode pay was never broken out publicly person by person, the show ran for 20 seasons on E! and then moved to Hulu — a run that paid every regular cast member handsomely over nearly two decades. Second, his sock line, Arthur George, launched in 2012 when he was 25. It was a genuine business rather than a licensing deal: Rob designed and sold the socks himself, built the brand around bold patterns and a premium price point, and kept it going through the years when he stepped away from television. It remains his signature venture, the one he returns to whenever the subject of his work comes up. Third, appearances, endorsements and the occasional brand deal — smaller, spottier income that reflects a man who turns down far more than he accepts.

What he does not have is also worth saying. There is no beauty empire, no shapewear brand, no spirits label, no nine-figure exit. His sisters Kim Kardashian, now 46 and Khloé Kardashian built businesses worth hundreds of millions; Kourtney Kardashian built a wellness brand of her own. Rob built a sock company and a quiet life. The $10 million estimate, if it is anywhere near right, is the fortune of a man who made good money from television, invested it in one business he actually runs, and then stopped chasing more. At 39, that looks less like failure than a choice — and the choice is the story.

His assets, as far as public records show, are modest by Kardashian standards. He has owned homes in the Calabasas and Hidden Hills area, close to family, and has been reported to favour low-key living over the trophy properties his sisters collect. He has been photographed with luxury cars over the years, but there is no verified fleet, no property portfolio and no investment record in the public domain — and this article will not invent one. What is documented is the business: Arthur George continues to sell, and in July 2026 a source told Us Weekly that Rob had been busy working on, or investing in, multiple business ventures while focusing on his health and personal development. The details were not given, and neither Rob nor his representatives have confirmed them.

Rob Kardashian’s Age Compared With His Sisters

Rob is the youngest of the four original Kardashian children, and the gap between him and his sisters is one of the most searched details about the family. Here is the family in order, with ages as of November 2026:

The gaps explain a lot about the family dynamic. Rob was eight years old when Kourtney was already 16, and he was still a child when his sisters were becoming young adults. By the time the reality show started in 2007, Kourtney was 28, Kim was 26, Khloé was 23 — and Rob was 20, the kid brother in a cast of grown women. He was 29 when Dream was born, which made him a father at roughly the age his sisters had their first children, but with far less of his life lived in public.

It also puts his 40th birthday into perspective. When Rob turns 40 in March 2027, Kourtney will be a month short of 48, Kim will be 46, and Khloé will be 42. He will still be the baby of the original four — and by then, his daughter Dream will be 10, old enough to understand the strange, famous family she was born into.

Personal Life: Fatherhood, Health and Stepping Back

If one thing defines Rob Kardashian at 39, it is fatherhood. His daughter Dream Kardashian was born on 10 November 2016, when Rob was 29, and she turned 10 in November 2026. Raising her has been the centre of his life through his thirties, and the reason he gives — whenever he gives one — for staying out of the spotlight. In November 2025 he marked her ninth birthday on Instagram, and in October 2026, family dinner photographs from Kim’s birthday showed a small, telling detail: a pumpkin painted by Dream had been set aside for her mother, a quiet sign of the co-parenting arrangement working, in its way, years after the romance ended.

His health is the other thread. In 2015, when he was 28, reports emerged that Rob had been diagnosed with diabetes, alongside visible weight gain that became tabloid fodder. He withdrew further from the cameras, and the speculation about his health — much of it cruel, most of it uninformed — became one of the reasons he stayed away. In July 2025, at 38, he finally addressed it himself, on his sister Khloé’s podcast Khloé in Wonder Land. His step away from the spotlight, he said, “has everything to do with myself” — not with a feud, not with a contract, but with how he felt about himself. It was the most honest thing he had said in public in years, and it reframed a decade of absence: not a disappearance, but a man looking after himself on his own schedule.

He has never married. His most serious relationship was with model and television personality Blac Chyna, the mother of Dream, and the story of that relationship — and its ending — is told in the next section. Since then, his romantic life has stayed private, and there is no confirmed partner as of November 2026. He lives in California, close to his family, and is a regular presence at family celebrations even when the cameras are not invited: Khloé’s 42nd birthday party in July 2026, family holidays, and the October 2026 birthday dinner that put him back in the headlines.

For readers who want the family context, our pages on Kim Kardashian’s age and Scott Disick’s biography — Disick is the father of Kourtney’s children and a long-standing part of the family’s story — fill in the wider picture. The CelebAmerica Personal Life archive carries the rest of our family coverage.

Legal Troubles and the Blac Chyna Years

No honest account of Rob Kardashian’s thirties can skip the Blac Chyna years, and no honest account should sensationalise them either. Rob and Blac Chyna began dating in early 2016, when he was 28, and their relationship moved fast: an engagement, a spin-off show, Rob & Chyna, and the birth of Dream in November 2016. By 2017 the relationship had broken down in public, and what followed was the ugliest chapter of Rob’s life — a bitter split played out on social media, a restraining order obtained by Chyna in July 2017 after Rob posted explicit images of her online, and a lawsuit from Chyna against Rob and members of his family that dragged on for years.

The legal fight ended in 2022, when Rob was 35, with a settlement reached before trial. The terms were not disclosed, and neither side has said much about it since. What matters for this article is the effect: the years from 29 to 35, which should have been the prime of a young father’s life, were instead consumed by lawyers, court dates and headlines. It is little wonder he came out of them quieter, more guarded, and more determined to keep his private life private.

There is one more detail worth recording, because it shows the direction of travel since. In the years after the settlement, the co-parenting relationship with Chyna has settled into something workable — birthdays, school events, the painted pumpkin at Kim’s dinner in October 2026. Rob does not talk about it, and this article will not speculate about it. The public record shows a man who went through a very public legal fight in his early thirties and came out the other side focused on his daughter. That is enough.

Where Is Rob Kardashian Now in 2026?

As of November 2026, Rob Kardashian lives a largely private life in California, focused on raising Dream, running his sock line and working on business ventures he has not named in public. He has not returned to television full-time, and he has said he does not want to. But the last two years have brought the closest thing to a comeback he has allowed himself — and the last few weeks have added a new twist.

On 20 October 2026, Rob made a rare public appearance at his sister Kim’s 46th birthday dinner at Baldi, the restaurant inside the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills. He joined Kris Jenner and his sisters Kim, Kourtney, Khloé and Kylie for the evening, dressed in black, smiling as he left the restaurant with his family. Photographs published by DeuxMoi and reported by outlets including Network Today and Pulptastic showed a relaxed, happy Rob — one of his few public appearances in years, and the latest documented outing at a family milestone. He had already been seen at Khloé’s 42nd birthday party in July 2026, and on Kim’s Instagram in June 2025, in a selfie with Rob and their friend La La Anthony.

Then, in November 2026, came the reports of a project of his own. According to a report in The U.S. Sun dated 8 November, carried by Fashion Times, Mandatory and Pop News Now, Rob has been exploring a documentary or docuseries about his own life — the years away from the cameras, the struggles he has faced, the story as he would tell it. The same reports say his mother Kris Jenner is unhappy about it, having been caught off guard and already planning a more controlled comeback for her son, and that Rob has begun meeting studio professionals independently. This needs to be said plainly: the documentary is unconfirmed. Neither Rob nor Kris has publicly confirmed it, no production, network or release date has been announced, and the reporting rests on unnamed sources. It is a real story in the sense that serious outlets are carrying it, and an unconfirmed one in the sense that nothing has been announced. Readers should treat it as a possibility, not a fact — and this page will be updated if it is confirmed or denied.

What is confirmed is the direction. Rob told Khloé in the season 7 finale that he wanted to film season 8, and the family wants him there. He has said he will only do it when he is in a good headspace. At 39, with a daughter turning 10 and a 40th birthday four months away, he is closer to a return than he has been in a decade — on his terms, at his pace, and with the cameras invited in only as far as he allows.
