Hellooo, sailor! Pregnant Kim Kardashian channeled her inner pinup for a sexy Rolling Stone cover shoot with famed photog Terry Richardson, showing off her ample cleavage in a curve-enhancing red bra and striped top, paired with a nautical cap set slightly askew atop her raven locks.

Inside the issue, she gets candid about her life and family, including brother Rob Kardashian, who hasn’t publicly stepped out in years.

“It’s not that mysterious, what’s happening with Rob,” the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, 34, said of her sibling, who has been hiding out at sister Khloe Kardashian’s house since 2013. “He has gained weight. He feels uncomfortable being on the show, and that’s OK.”

“Do I think he smokes weed, drinks beer, hangs out and plays video games with his friends all day long? Yes,” she added honestly. When asked if she thought “it’s not more like hookers and meth at the Ritz,” the Selfish author, whom RS notes is a “kind person,” was quick to shut down that possibility.

“No, no,” she said, laughing. “Or he’d be skinny.”

The Dash mogul, who also opens up about being married to rapper Kanye West and her life during the O.J. Simpson trial, has always been a fan of the tough-love method when it comes to her brother.

“Everyone licks Rob’s ass and does whatever he says,” the social media maven, once told mom Kris Jenner during an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. “It’s just like, at some point you just have to give it up. We all make his life so easy.”

Despite her harsh words, she obviously means well. 

“I think I’m just more of the tough love kind of person,” she later explained. “My personality is like, ‘All right, you complain, you don’t like it, get up and do something about it.’”
