Family challenges and past controversies

Rob has publicly acknowledged a strained relationship with his daughter, Elle King. In a 2024 podcast appearance, Elle recalled being sent to a “fat camp” as a child. Rob later asked for her forgiveness on the Tucker Carlson Network, saying, "I wanna just tell my daughter, Elle, I love you and I wish I was the father in my 20s that you needed."

Despite personal challenges, the couple’s shared life has left a lasting impact, and the divorce marks a significant turning point for the family.
