Adrienne Bailon said her decision to appear on "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" while she dated Rob Kardashian would have been different if she knew how it would affect her career. She had a strong connection with the Kardashian brother, and although they broke up, she still spent time with his sisters.
Adrienne Bailon and Rob Kardashian were romantically involved in the late 2000s, and their relationship was televised on "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." Fans of the reality show witnessed the relationship's ups and downs and how close Adrienne and Rob grew until their controversial split.
However, since Adrienne appeared under the Kardashian spotlight, her other impressive accomplishments as an actress, singer, and dancer were overshadowed by her romance with the reality TV star. She vocalized her frustration about that on social media, which the Kardashian sisters initially misconstrued.

Despite the war of words that followed, Adrienne buried the hatchet with the sisters. She remains close to the Kardashian family and regularly spends time with them. She and Rob also moved on with their lives, found new partners, and started their own families.
Rob Kardashian's Sisters Secretly Met Adrienne Bailon
Adrienne and Rob's romance began in 2007, and Rob had recently lost his dad and was still grieving his absence at the time. However, when Adrienne came along, Rob said he started more like himself. He was in love with her, and she made him happy.
In the early stages of their relationship, Adrienne hadn't yet met his sisters. Still, she was already making appearances on the show. Once they found out, Kourtney, Rob's eldest sister, stole Adrienne's number from his phone.
While Kim protested the invasion of privacy, Kourtney explained her reasons, saying she wanted to get to know Adrienne better and ensure she wouldn't hurt her brother. Later, Kourtney and Khloe secretly met with the former "The Real" co-host for dinner, and they all got along quite well.
That meeting marked the beginning of long-lasting friendships, as Adrienne promised not to say a word about it. Adrienne spent plenty of time with her former lover, who constantly needed her presence. With how close he and Adrienne were, Rob was convinced that his dad brought them together, saying she "filled his void."
However, things became difficult when Adrienne had to leave for India for three months. The former love birds were devastated at the thought of being separated for that long, but Adrienne had no choice. The night Adrienne was leaving, they tearfully departed as Rob dropped her off at the airport.

Seeing how affected Rob was by Adrienne's absence, his sisters, Kourtney and Khloe, surprised him by booking him a trip to go and visit the former "Cheetah Girls" actress in India. The couple went strong for two years and ended their relationship in 2009 following an infidelity incident.
Breaking Up after Two Years Together
Adrienne and Rob's break-up caused some commotion after Rob claimed that an ex-girlfriend had been unfaithful to him and sexually intimate with "many people." While it wasn't revealed who he referred to, the media concluded that he spoke of Adrienne.
Later, it became clear that the couple separated due to Rob's infidelity, as he admitted on "KUWTK." In 2016, Adrienne opened up about how her former lover's unfaithfulness affected her, as she started questioning her self-worth and image.

The co-host also clarified that although Rob admitted to being with another woman while they dated, she had never cheated on him. In 2018, Adrienne stated that her relationship with Rob was the shortest one to date. Still, almost ten years later, with their relationship being "old news," she thought Rob was "a great guy."
Adrienne Bailon Continues to Connect with Rob Kardashian's Sisters
In August this year, Adrienne welcomed her first baby via surrogacy with her husband. She penned a touching message on Instagram, reflecting on the tumultuous but fruitful 9-month journey following her child's arrival.
Having dealt with fertility issues herself, Khloe congratulated the actress in the comments, telling Adrienne and her husband to enjoy every moment of parenthood. Last year, Adrienne joined Kim and Kourtney for a girls' game night following a small family celebration of Rob's birthday.
The reunion confused fans, but it wasn't their first interaction after Adrienne and Rob split. In 2018, Kim posted a clip of North watching "The Cheetah Girls," revealing North's obsession with the film. She jokingly asked her followers if she should tell her firstborn that Adrienne was almost her aunt, and Adrienne reshared the clip.
In 2019, Adrienne attended Kourtney's Poosh pool party, appearing on an Instagram post alongside other guests in matching swimwear. When a commenter insulted Adrienne for a peculiar food combination that she once shared, Kourtney stepped in to defend her, referring to Adrienne as a "sis for life."
Rob and Adrienne Moved On
Adrienne married gospel singer Isaiah Houghton in December 2019. The couple welcomed their son, Ever James Houghton, in August this year. Ever James is Adrienne's first baby, but Isaiah's fifth after his four children, Mariah, Milan, Jordan, and Israel.
Rob recently celebrated his daughter Dream Kardashian's birthday and is rumored to be dating – or engaged – to Liana Levi. As the rumors spiraled on the internet, neither Liana nor Rob responded to confirm or deny their alleged romance.
