His family is known for their love of the spotlight and hunger for fame, seemingly at whatever cost.

But it appears Rob Kardashian doesn't share their sentiments.

The 26-year-old has allegedly moved from Los Angeles to Florida to distance himself from the constant scrutiny that fame brings.

A source told In Touch Weekly that the reality star moved to the Sunshine State three months ago.

'He finally realised he needs to focus on himself and not do things the way his sisters do. He feels he needs a clean break,' said the insider.

'Rob feels like his family can’t see anything beyond the spotlight,' added the source. 'But he wants more for himself than fame.'

Rob has had a tough time this past year. He gained more than 60lbs after his split from singer Rita Ora, and has since made headlines for his fluctuating weight. Rob has also been grappling with premature balding.

In addition, he is said to have struggled with the breakdown of sister Khloe's marriage with his close friend Lamar Odom as well as his mother's separation from Bruce, his stepdad of 22 years.

Rob apparently feels his mother wasn't there for him when he needed her.

'Kris tried to get him a weight-loss deal and pushed him to promote a hair-loss supplement,' said the source. 'He feels like the family abandoned him when he needed them most. For him, life is more than just a business deal.'

Rob feels fame isn't everything? Is he sure he's really a Kardashian? Good for him on having some common sense despite his environment.
