Khloé Kardashian’s bond with her brotherRob Kardashianis unlike the ones she has with her sisters.

The Kardashiansstar, 40, revealed that her relationship with her private brother, 37, holds a special place in her heart. Though she’s close with all of her famous siblings, Khloé admitted that she relates to Rob in a totally different way.

“I love all my siblings, but I think with Rob, I identify with him so much,” she toldBustle. “I feel so deeply what he feels — the struggles that he has, or just wanting to be out of the public eye, or just feeling like he doesn’t fit in or is being judged about his appearance.”

She explained, “I feel like we were raised in pairs: It was Kourtney and Kim, and then it was me and Rob, and then Kendall and Kylie. And I just feel like we are both each other’s protectors. I love him so much. It’s just innate.”

Despite his need for privacy, the Arthur George designer has continued to make rare appearances at family gatherings.
