Call her mama bear!
Khloe Kardashian has always been fiercely protective of little brother Rob, and in her new Complex magazine interview, she goes into detail about their close relationship and reveals her maternal instincts towards him.
"Rob lives with me now, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love having him with me. I have a big ass house and I wanted it so he could feel like, comfortable," she revealed.
The reality star thinks her sibling benefits from residing at her home while he battles emotional issues. "He's going through a hard time now. And [my home is] behind gates. With this crazy lifestyle you have to think of places where you can still have your freedom. Kourtney and Scott live in the same gated area. My nieces and nephew come over at least three times a week. I have everything, my brother's there and I love him," she shared.
A lot of grown men would be embarrassed to live with their sister, but Khlo has a perfect excuse for him should he ever need to defend his choices. "I get crazy if he's like, 'I'm moving out.' Listen, he's a man and 28, and I'm sure it doesn't sound good to say, 'Oh I live with my sister,' but it's not because he has to. I'm like, 'Put this into perspective: Your friends live at home with their parents because they can't do anything else. Your sister’s literally holding you captive and actively making you. So if that makes you feel better, say that all you want.' I don't want to put words in his mouth, but I'm sure that's why he would threaten to move out," she explained.
The buxom beauty makes life pretty cushy for her bro, and she admits that not everyone in her family approves of her mothering ways. "I'm good with him. I never bother him. I just bought him a rug for his bedroom and he was so cute. He'll text me and tell me how much he likes it and he notices things. So, I like it. I call him my son as a joke. I'll call my assistant and be like, 'Did you guys ask if he wanted lunch?' or this or that and my sisters hate that I do that. I do baby him but I'm a maternal person," she confessed.
She sounds way more compassionate than the ice queen Kimmy K!
