In an interview with People, Rob Kardashian has revealed he is in the best place he’s ever been.
“There were definitely dark days for me, and I’m still not fully happy looking at myself in the mirror. But I’m working towards that. And I’m happy.”
The star of the upcoming reality series Rob & Chyna has opened up about how his relationship with Blac Chyna has helped him overcome a low point in his life.
“She got me through my darkest times. I wasn’t happy in my own skin. I missed out on so many things,” confessed Rob.
For the past two years, the reality TV star has reportedly been battling depression and significant weight gain, which lead to a diagnosis of diabetes. Rumours of alleged drug use also circled the troubled TV personality, who was said to be living as a recluse in sister Khloe’s house.
During this time, Rob, 29, refused to be part of the family’s reality show and only recently made his return.
However, his newly public relationship seems to have sparked a turning point for the sock designer.
“Chyna definitely motivates me,” says Rob. “Being with her got me over the insecurity of being out in public.”
Rob revealed that the relationship grew out of a long time friendship with the entrepreneur and model.
“I’ve been friends with Chyna for a long time,” he says. “She was someone I reached out to for advice. She would cook for me and we’d just talk. She’s surrounded me with a lot of positivity. From the moment we met, I knew I wanted to be more than friends.”
Blac Chyna says she supported Rob through his darkest days by offering him unconditional support and encouragement.
“I saw Rob was willing to better himself,” she says. “I had never wanted to be tough. I never wanted to change him.”
The couple are engaged and expecting their first child rumoured to be a girl named Aniyla.
