Ben Cohen/Bravo(NEW YORK) — It’s no secret Rob Kardashian has had a hard time recently. His struggle with weight issues and depression have been detailed on the family’s reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Although the cause of his issues is unknown, his older sister Khloe Kardashian, recently opened up about living with him in a now uncut version of her interview with Complex magazine.
“Rob lives with me now and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love having him with me,” Khloe told the magazine.
In fact, Rob lived with Khloe and ex-husband Lamar Odom throughout their marriage, only moving out toward the end. After she split from Odom, she moved into Rob’s three-bedroom townhouse until she bought her new home and Rob came to live with her.
“I have a big a** house and I wanted it so he could feel, like, comfortable,” Kardashian said. “He’s going through a hard time now, and it’s behind gates. With this crazy lifestyle you have to think of places where you can still have your freedom.”
Even though Rob is sometimes tempted to move out, Khloe always convinces him to stay, she revealed.
“He’s a man and 28, and I’m sure it doesn’t sound good to say, ‘Oh, I live with my sister,’ but it’s not because he has to,” Kardashian said. “I’m like, ‘Put this into perspective: Your friends live at home with their parents because they can’t do anything else. Your sister’s literally holding you captive and actively making you. So if that makes you feel better, say that all you want.'”
Khloe admitted she’s maternal when it comes to her baby brother. “I just bought him a rug for his bedroom, and he was so cute. He’ll text me and tell me how much he likes it, and he notices things,” she said. “So, I like it. I call him my son as a joke.”
