Rob and Patricia’s separation comes over a year after Rob’s elder daughter Elle King—whom he shares with ex London King—called him out on The Dumb Blonde podcast in August 2024, saying “I don’t want to be associated with him.”

“He's just not nice,” the 36-year-old added. “I disagree with a lot of the things that he says. You can want someone to change so much and ultimately, you can't control anyone else's actions.”

Following Elle’s words, Rob asked his daughter—mom to 3-year-old son Lucky, and another baby who arrived last February, with Dan Tooker—to forgive his “shortcomings.”

"I just want you to be well and happy with you and your beautiful baby,” Rob said during an August 2024 appearance on The Tucker Carlson Show podcast. “I wish you the best. I feel terrible, and I just want you to know that I don't take anything you say personally.”
