Yet, according to the publication, Rob’s focus remains on being the best father he can be to Dream.
"She’s the absolute center of his world, and he spends most of his time with her either at his house or over at Khloe’s," an insider previously shared.
Khloe also shared her connection with Rob, noting how much she relates to his feelings. “I love all my siblings, but I think with Rob, I identify with him so much. I feel so deeply what he feels — the struggles that he has, or just wanting to be out of the public eye, or just feeling like he doesn’t fit in or is being judged about his appearance."
