What's wrong with being confident and in love?

Ever since Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian turned their friendship into something romantic, people have noticed a change in the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star.

Whether it's being photographed more often in public, sharing pictures on social media or showing off his fitness "progress," Rob has made positive changes that have not gone unnoticed by his family.

"They haven't seen Rob come out of his shell like this in years," a source shared with E! News. "The family is very grateful for Blac's help with giving Rob ‘confidence' again and putting his health and fitness first."

Our insider added, "Kris Jenner would like Blac Chyna to start coming to family events once things have calmed down a bit. All the sisters are happy to have their brother back. Kylie Jenner is also coming around now."

Earlier this week, E! News caught up with Kendall Jenner where she expressed a sense of happiness that she was able to celebrate his big birthday as a group this past weekend in Malibu. And while not everyone could show up—Khloe Kardashian and Blac were both noticeably absent—it was progress for a family that hasn't always approved of Rob's relationship. 

"It's all really amazing and we're just very happy to kind of see him and kind of hang out with us again," Kendall shared with Zanna Roberts Rassi at the Estée Edit by Estée Lauder launch event.

While Rob's family slowly warms up to the fact that Rob and Blac are the real deal, our source says their main priority continues to be Rob's well-being and happiness.  

As of now, there are several signs that point to a pair in it for the long haul, even with their brief breakup earlier this month. Whether celebrating holidays together or enjoying family days with Blac's son King Cairo, the duo is spending a lot of time together when they aren't traveling. 

"They are in love. Rob always tells Blac how gorgeous she is," another source told E! News. "Blac thinks Rob would make the best dad. Rob has gotten really close to him."
