A rocky journey. Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna had their fair share of ups and downs together.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum was first linked with the model in January 2016 after the pair shared their blossoming love via social media. At the time, a source told Us Weekly that there was a “romantic vibe” between the two.
The Rob and Chyna alums’ romance quickly heated up, sparking engagement speculation one month later. However, things quickly took a turn after they briefly split. “They had a fight about how much time they had been spending together but they’ll be back,” a source previously revealed to Us in March 2016. “They could be back together whenever, it’s so dramatic.”
The “Doom” performer — real name Angela Renee White — and the California native eventually reconciled one month later before announcing they were expecting their first child together that May. Daughter Dream was born in November 2016.
“Dream was Rob’s favorite name because it was always his dream to have a baby,” an insider close to Chyna told Us shortly after the birth. “She is gorgeous and looks a lot like Rob!”
After continuing to date on and off while raising Dream, the twosome eventually split for good in 2017. Since then, they’ve been focused on coparenting. “The key is basically communication,” the Real Blac Chyna alum — who also shares son King Cairo with rapper Tyga — exclusively told Us in July 2019. “It makes it a little bit easier if you can communicate with your child’s other parent. That’s the best and healthiest way.”
She continued: “My children’s dads … help out because you have to have that time to yourself, just to even go to the spa and kind of reset. The days that they’re with their dads, then I go take my trips. Basically, I’m always home with [my kids].”
While the Washington, D.C. native and the Arthur George sock designer sought a paternity arrangement in October 2017 to raise Dream, they eventually reached a new agreement nearly three years later. In December 2020, the twosome agreed to share physical custody of Dream across an alternating weekly schedule.
The pair’s arrangements made headlines in March 2022 after Chyna alleged she didn’t receive child support from Kardashian or Tyga. “Yesterday I had to give up 3 of my cars … my reasons … morals, beliefs, being a single mother, no support I’m a MAMA,” she tweeted at the time, claiming she is “single [with] no support [and] child support.”
Kris Jenner’s son later refuted the allegations via an Instagram comment.
“[I] pay 37k a year for my daughter’s school,” Kardashian claimed, noting that Dream resides with him Tuesdays through Saturdays. “I handle every single medical expense. I pay for all her extracurricular activities. Why would I pay child support? Lol.”

Despite their rocky history, Chyna told DailyMailTV in October 2018 “we’ll see” when asked if she would ever consider reconciling with her ex. Meanwhile, she had nothing but positive things to say about Kardashian when it came to their daughter, Dream. “You can look into her face and just tell she was made with love," the Lashed founder said to the outlet. "She’s, like, perfect.” Gabriel Olsen/WireImage
Kardashian filed to lower his monthly child support payment to Chyna in November 2018.

Kardashian confirmed in his child support documents that he moved back in with the Safely founder. He stated in the February 2018 declaration that he has “minimal cash flow and no savings,” and that the momager had to step in to keep his Arthur George sock line “afloat.” He added, “I would like to maintain my privacy, try to recover from the emotional damage of the past several months and explore other business ventures.” Getty Images
In November 2018, Blac Chyna seemingly slammed Kardashian and Tyga over their finances. "So my children aren’t Supposed to live the same lifestyles as their fathers ETC ETC ha ?” the model wrote on her Instagram Story. “As a single Mother, I provide for them and give them the luxury lifestyle they deserve…..WOW!!!” Gabriel Olsen/FilmMagic
Kardashian threw not-so-subtle shade at Chyna when he called her enemy, Alexis Skyy, his "WCW" in January 2019. Days before his crush announcement, the Lashed by Blac Chyna founder got into an alleged altercation with the Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood star at a private event. "She starts throwing a drink … we start throwing hands," Skyy said during an Instagram Live video at the time. "So from there on, whatever happened, happened. I got kicked out.” Kardashian and Skyy later had dinner together, but he said he was "just trying to eat some good food.” Courtesy Rob Kardashian/Snapchat
Chyna filed new paperwork against Kardashian in January 2019 that alleged he was not physically or psychologically harmed during their Christmas 2016 fight. According to documents obtained by Us, the KUWTK alum previously admitted that "being scratched by a female is one of the best things a man could ask for.” The model used this admission to go against the lawsuit he filed in September 2017 for alleged assault, battery and vandalism.

Kardashian filed a petition for primary custody of Dream in early 2020, which was ultimately denied. His petition came shortly after alleging Chyna had abused substances while taking care of their daughter, which Chyna has since denied. That December, they agreed to new custody terms that stipulated the duo would have joint custody and equal time with Dream. Broadimage/Shutterstock
Kardashian dropped his assault and battery lawsuit against Chyna in February 2022. “My love for Dream far outweighs my desire to proceed with my claims against her mother in a public trial,” he told E! News in a statement at the time in a statement at the time. “Now that the court has ruled that there is sufficient evidence to warrant a jury trial on my claim for assault, for our daughter’s sake, I am dismissing the action and focusing on my coparenting relationship with Chyna.” Courtesy of Rob Kardashian/Instagram

After The Shade Room posted Chyna’s tweets via Instagram in March 2022, Kardashian opened up about their custody arrangement and Dream’s schedule. “I pay 37k a year for my daughter’s school. I handle every single medical expense. I pay for all her extracurricular activities. I have my daughter from Tuesday-Saturday,” he commented. “Why would I pay child support lol?” Tyga — whom Chyna dated between 2011 and 2014— also replied to the post, noting that he allegedly pays $40,000 a year for King's school and takes care of his son Mondays through Saturdays. Tyga joked to Kardashian, “How you pay 3k less. Let me kno [sic] the plug." Shutterstock (3)
When Rob took the stand, he said he was in “the worst place in my entire life, at my weakest, lowest point” when he dated Chyna. “She was the one person who brought me in at my lowest point. So I ignored her bad behavior toward my family,” he said. “I wasn’t thinking about that stuff. My mind was just in a completely different place. It wasn’t real love.” Chyna lost the defamation case and was awarded $0 in damages. Damian Dovarganes/AP/Shutterstock
