In a festive twist that will surprise few followers of the famous family, Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna have reportedly split once again, mere weeks after sparking rumours of a reconciliation. The news broke just days before Christmas, leaving one member of the Kardashian clan to face the holidays solo.
A Storied and Volatile Romance
The pair's turbulent relationship timeline stretches back to January 2016. Model and rapper Blac Chyna, whose real name is Angela White, is 37, while Rob Kardashian is 38. Their romance escalated quickly, with the couple becoming engaged in April 2016 and welcoming their daughter, Dream, in November of that same year.
Their initial split in 2017 was dramatic and public, leading many to believe the rift was permanent. However, speculation of a rekindled romance began circulating in recent months, reaching a peak in October when Angela White referred to her former fiancé as her "person" in a public declaration that set fans abuzz.
Christmas Eve Announcement Confirms Split
Any hopes of a holiday reunion were dashed on Christmas Eve, Eve, when Chyna took to Instagram to make a stoic announcement. She posted a striking image of herself, dressed in black with lime-green hair, squatting in a street at night.
The accompanying caption was unequivocal: "Guess whose ending the year single", followed by, "You knew it, You and I". The post prompted an immediate outpouring of support from her followers, with fans commenting on the virtues of being single and protecting one's energy.
Focusing on Family and Future
This latest split comes after both individuals had recently opened up about their lives as single parents. Last year, Blac Chyna spoke about her decision to keep daughter Dream out of the spotlight, despite sharing a clip of the youngster experimenting with music. She emphasised it was not a commercial release but part of Dream exploring her talents.
In a revealing moment, Chyna also shared that she had asked Dream if she wanted a sibling, to which her daughter gave a blunt response, showing a preference for a potential brother who would "be really nice to me". Chyna noted that any future surgery for her would likely only be related to having more children, referencing her two previous C-sections.
For his part, Rob Kardashian discussed his dating life on a podcast in July of this year. He stated he had been effectively single for the eight years since his daughter's birth, prioritising his role as a father. "I don't bring girls in the house, I don't have girls meet my daughter," he explained, adding that his energy is primarily focused on Dream, though he acknowledged he perhaps should "have fun and enjoy my life" more.
As the year closes, the on-again, off-again saga between Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna appears to be off once more, with both stars entering the new year independently and focusing on their shared priority: their eight-year-old daughter, Dream.
