Blac Chyna Explains How She Saved Rob Kardashian From Depression Amid ‘KUWTK’ Wedding

Blac Chyna has revealed how she saved Rob Kardashian from one of the worst cases of depression the family has ever witnessed.

Rob began to seclude himself from his siblings after his breakup with pop star Rita Ora in 2012. The twosome only dated for a couple of months, but Rob was so in love with her that when the singer decided to dump the TV star, he struggled to accept the fact that the romance was over.

Kardashian developed an eating habit that consisted of nothing but junk food, and on top of that, the sock designer was downing endless bottles of alcohol, with little to no workout in his daily routine.

It wasn’t until Rob and Blac Chyna started hanging out that his life made a drastic turn. In the latest issue of ELLE magazine, Chyna confesses that Rob’s entire family had tried to help him out of his depression phase, but nothing worked — he couldn’t even help himself.

Once the twosome announced that they were dating, Blac Chyna says she slowly but surely managed to get grasp her head around Rob’s depressive mode in a way that would make him come out of his shell and overturn whatever was stopping him from being happy again.

“When I linked up with Rob [Kardashian], he was at a point where nobody could really help him,” Blac Chyna tells the outlet, according to Hollywood Life. “But I’m the type of person that likes to motivate my friends and help them figure out how they can do better. That’s how we really started off.”

The former stripper says that Rob Kardashian has remained positive even at times when things weren’t going great. He’s beginning to understand himself better than ever before, which sounds ridiculous for fans, but Blac Chyna stresses that Rob lost his own identity during his three-year seclusion from family and friends.

When asked how she’s managed to support him and help him find the confidence he needed to break out of his depression mode, Chyna says that the answer is rather simple: she doesn’t force Rob to open up about anything he doesn’t want to talk about.

She wants him to feel safe when he’s with her, and if he does end up deciding to share something that’s bothering him, Blac doesn’t hold any judgements against her fiancée, no matter what he’s bound to confess to her.

“When I’m around Rob, I’m never all up in his business, asking questions. I let him be himself and relax. I’m not a therapist. If he opens up, and I say the wrong thing, he may shut me out. Sometimes it’s just best to let people talk about it and get it off their chest. That’s how I’ve been carrying the situation with me and Rob, and so far it’s worked out.”

The couple are reportedly planning to tie the knot next year. Blac Chyna initially hoped to get married this summer, but after learning about her untimely pregnancy with Rob’s first child, the twosome were quick to agree that a wedding ceremony for a time where they are both less busy is much more convenient.

The E! network confirmed earlier this month that Rob and Chyna, the couple’s reality show, will be premiering next month following the conclusion of the current Keeping Up with the Kardashians series.
