Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna Relationship Summary
The Long, Questionable History of Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian's Many Makeups and Breakups
After Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna welcomed a beautiful baby girl, Dream, in November, it seemed like the soon-to-be-newlyweds' relationship was stronger than ever. Unfortunately Rob and Chyna have hit more than a few speed bumps over the last few months because of issues with Rob's sisters and the fact Chyna's ex is currently dating Rob's sister Kylie, all of which finally culminated in an explosive pre-Christmas spat that reportedly got physical. In light of their latest "breakup," let's take a look at every major milestone in the couple's rocky road to romance.
- Jan. 25, 2016: Chyna first met the Kardashian family through Kim and Kanye in 2014 when she was still with Tyga, but it wasn't until the beginning of this year that she got together with Rob. They ignited rumors of a relationship with a cuddly Instagram photo, immediately drawing a not-so-subtle warning from his sister, Khloé Kardashian.
- Jan. 27, 2016: People reported that Khloé was so angry at Rob for starting to date Chyna that she kicked him out of the house, prompting him to move into Chyna's mansion. Meanwhile, it became apparent that Chyna was trying to help Rob get healthy and back in shape after years spent gaining weight out of the public eye.
- Jan. 29, 2016: Kris Jenner — who many assumed was just as nonplussed about the new relationship as Khloé — was photographed visiting Rob while Chyna was out of town. A few hours later, Chyna was charged with public intoxication and possessing a controlled substance in Austin, Texas after she had to be escorted off of a flight.
- Jan. 31, 2016: Rob, a modern day knight in shining armor, drove his Bentley more than 20 hours from LA to Austin to get his girlfriend. The reunited pair were subsequently offered a seven-figure sum to star in a sex tape. Rob decided not to follow in the footsteps of his older sibling, and they declined the deal.
- Feb. 9, 2016: Engagement rumors started to fly after Chyna was seen partying at the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival with BFF Amber Rose while wearing a massive diamond on that finger.
- Feb. 14, 2016: A lot of people go big on Valentine's Day, but it's safe to say Rob went absolutely all-out for his first time celebrating the lovey-dovey holiday with his new girlfriend (fianceé?). Not only did he give her a tree of red roses, but he also had a $35K custom portrait of Chyna commissioned (which included lyrics from a John Legend song written in diamond dust, naturally). It really puts your bouquet from 1-800-Flowers into perspective, huh?
- Feb. 18, 2016: Khloé's stance on Rob and Chyna's relationship seemed to soften after she tweeted a sweet #TBT of her and Rob with the caption, "It's simple.... I miss you 😫😫😫."
- March 6, 2016: Trouble in paradise? Chyna and Rob had people wondering if they'd split when Rob spontaneously deleted his Instagram and unfollowed his girlfriend, with sources saying "they were moving too fast" but that "they'll be back." It came just days after the pair reportedly dropped the L-bomb for the first time.
- March 13, 2016:: Breakup rumors died down a week later when Rob and Chyna made a club appearance in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Rob chose to wear slip-on sandals on the dancefloor, but otherwise they seemed more in love than ever.
- March 16, 2016: Rob joined Chyna and her son King Cairo (whom she shares with ex Tyga) on a family trip to Legoland the day before his 29th birthday.
- April 4, 2016: After the relationship received the blessings of both Kris Jenner and Amber Rose, Rob popped the question with a 7-carat diamond ring worth $325,000.
- May 6, 2016: The newly engaged twosome hinted at a pregnancy with matching Instagram photos featuring a pregnant, emoji-version of Chyna.
- July 25, 2016: Rob's habit of deleting social media came up again when he deleted all of his Instagram photos and unfollowed Chyna once more. Plenty of fans speculated the end of their relationship was near. . .
- Aug. 15, 2016: . . . except it wasn't! Instead, quite the opposite. The couple brokered a deal for a reality show through the Kardashian family's ties to E!, and dropped the drama-packed first trailer.
- Sept. 11, 2016: Kris stole Chyna and Rob's thunder by revealing they were expecting a girl via Twitter.
- Sept. 13, 2016: Chyna shares a sonogram of her and Rob's child, captioning the exciting image, "@robkardashian and I can't wait to meet our baby girl 💕."
- Sept. 28, 2016: Although all seemed well between Rob and his sisters, a baby shower thrown by Kourtney, Khloé, and Kim threw everything into disarray. A source told Us Weekly that when Rob found out his siblings were bringing TV cameras to the event for Keeping Up With the Kardashians, "he said, 'F*ck that.' So Chyna didn't go either. He messed everything up."
- Nov. 10, 2016: Rob and Chyna welcomed their baby girl, Dream Kardashian, at the start of November, and shared a truly insane mannequin challenge from inside the delivery room.
- Dec. 10, 2016: Kim, Khloé, and Kourtney reportedly tried to block Chyna (real name Angela Renée White) from trademarking the name she'll have after marrying Rob (Angela Renee Kardashian). The 28-year-old was hoping to trademark the name so she could use it for promoting her business ventures, working in the entertainment industry, and on social media.
- Dec. 11, 2016: Despite the legal troubles, the family came together to celebrate the milestone of Dream's first month.
- Dec. 17, 2016: A few days after E! renewed Rob and Chyna, the couple's relationship crashed and burned for all to see. Chyna's Instagram was "hacked" (she claims), resulting in several now-deleted screenshots of texts between her and attorney Walter Mosley, actor Jaden Smith, and rapper Young Thug being posted to the photo sharing app, all of which contained negative messages about Rob. She called him "lazy," "fat," and "insecure," and one text supposedly read "Imma give Rob 1 year to get it together. Or I'm gone." Chyna then cleaned out Dream and King Cairo's rooms, which Rob recorded on Snapchat while crying. He also posted and deleted a photo on Instagram about how has "never been this heartbroken." The two then fought within the comments of the photo among their fans.
- Dec. 19, 2016: Although that certainly seemed like the end of Rob and Chyna, she regrammed his subsequent apology and captioned it with, "❤️ @robkardashian."
- Dec. 20, 2016: Details emerged that the fight over the Instagram hack reportedly got physical. According to E! News, Chyna punched Rob in the back and his arms in "a drunken rage." Thankfully Kris's boyfriend, Corey Gamble, walked in "and ripped Chyna off of Rob." On the same day, they were said to have reconciled after their "heat of the moment" separation, when Rob called her to say sorry.
Whether these are real relationship woes or a ploy to hype up drama for the new season of their TV show, we're hoping these two crazy kids can figure it out.
- July 5, 2017: Following yet another breakup, Rob began to post a series of (extremely) NSFW images of Chyna to his Instagram account (which have since been deleted). He began the photo dump by sharing a video of Chyna kissing another man in bed that she reportedly sent Rob on the Fourth of July, which he captioned, "Hahahaha Chyna just sent me this video saying happy 4th of July what a crazy person. Come spend time with your daughter instead of f*cking me and then this dude right after. U need help." He then posted a number of photos she'd presumably sent him in the past of her naked body and private parts, as well as screenshots of text messages from multiple men sleeping with Chyna who've asked Rob for money.
Rob then accused her of extensive drug and alcohol abuse and revealed that he paid $100K in plastic surgery costs after Chyna gave birth to their daughter, Dream. "Everyone wonders how Chyna lost all that weight after the baby and she lies to everyone but no I'm such a great Husband that on our anniversary I paid 100K to do this surgery to get all everything fixed as much as they could," he captioned a video of her in the hospital. "And then guess what she did after she was all healed when I was by her side the entire time. She left me and my baby which she had out of spite to get back at her other baby daddy. I can't believe u would disrespect me like this." Instagram has since removed the graphic images of Chyna, which can technically be considered revenge porn, and result in legal repercussions for Rob.
- July 5, 2017: Shortly after Rob's wave of abusive posts went live, Chyna accused him of beating her via Snapchat. "Rob u did all this but u beat me up and try act it never happen!!!!!" the 29-year-old wrote. "U put hand on me I swear on god!!!! On my kids but I'm supposed to be quiet because you're a Kardashian." In a second message she added, "The light will come to the light."
