  • Elle and Rob got closer after her half-sisters were born

Elle lived with her mom most of her life and grew up away from her famous actor dad. This put a lot of strain on her relationship with him. Their careers didn’t help the situation either since they didn’t have a lot of time to spend with each other.

As Elle became more involved with her music career and rose to be a famous star, she grew apart even more from her dad. But things changed for both of them when Rob welcomed his two younger daughters, Miranda and Madeline.

In an interview with People, Elle said, "I wanted my sisters to have good memories of me from their childhood when they grew. Family really is so important. So, through that, me just kind of showing up and trying to be good for them, really made it easy because there were no bad motives. When it’s about the kids, the bulls—kind of goes away. I love him."

Since her second sister was born, Elle has wanted to be a part of her dad’s life again, so both of her sisters can grow up with a real family.

“Nobody knew,” she told People, “because I thought my mom would f—ing kill me.”

Nobody found out she married him until Andrew was arrested in April 2017 for grabbing her by the throat and threatening to kill her. Elle divorced her abusive ex about a month later.

Since then, Elle got engaged to Daniel Tooker, a tattoo artist. The two welcomed a baby boy in 2021.

  • Since Season 3 of Real Bob has been greenlit, it is speculated that Madeline will appear in it as well

In 2015, Rob created the sitcom, Real Rob, with Patricia to show what their lives are really like with a hilarious twist.

According to IMDb, “It takes a look at the ups and downs of his personal and professional lives, interspersed with his standup comedy performances.”

Rob is the main creator of the show, but Patricia produces and stars in it with him. Only Rob and Patricia’s first daughter, Miranda, is in it. Madeline wasn’t born yet when the show first aired and Elle isn’t in it either. It’s probably because she was dealing with her abusive ex at the time and wasn’t close enough with her dad yet.

Real Rob was renewed for a third season but has yet to come out on Netflix. It was originally supposed to come to the streaming network in 2023, but it is possible the WGA and SAG/AFTRA strike delayed it. When it comes back, maybe we’ll finally get to see Rob’s two other daughters in the next season.
