Reality TV personality Robert Kardashian may have been out of the public eye for a long time, but the other members of his family have been keeping him in the loop. After missing family trips abroad and the recent homecoming trip to Armenia, Kim Kardashian has found a way to make Rob’s presence felt by casually strolling around with a cut-out of his head.

Kim was spotted over the weekend taking a stroll carrying around a cardboard photo of her brother mounted on a handle. It remains unclear why Kim has the unusual accessory with her. The close-knit family have always been close and often take trips abroad together, but as they became busier over the years, some members have been unable to join all of the trips.

This time around, Kim was joined by her sister Khloe as well s her husband Kanye West and their daughter North. Likewise, two of their cousins named Kara and Kourtni, also joined the trip back to their father’s native country. Robert Kardashian senior was born to Armenian-American parents and the Kardashian children have always been proud of their Armenian heritage. This is the first time that members of the famous clan have taken the opportunity to return to Armenia.

In a report shared by E News, a photo of Kim is shown as she walks around with the cut-out featuring Rob’s head. Khloe also had her brother in mind when she posted an Instagram photo showing a certificate for a parcel of land that was presented to her and Kim. Khloe captioned the shot by telling Kourtney and Rob that she and Kim have gotten then a souvenir from Armenia.

Rob was unable to join the trip as he continues to face personal issues that have been featured prominently on episodes of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.” Kourtney on the other hand, apologised for not making the trip because she does not feel comfortable travelling with her three young children. Kourtney just gave birth to her third child, Reign Aston Disick, last December 14.

Meanwhile, Kim and the rest of her family have left Armenia. They headed out to Israel where she and Kanye had their daughter North be baptised.
