Rob Kardashian shared a rare Instagram selfie on Tuesday. The snap shows the 28-year-old wearing a bandana over his face and it is the first time fans have caught a glimpse of the star since being diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).

"He's doing good. He had a health scare," Khloe said during an appearance on Good Morning America. "But again leaving that in 2015, he got out before the new year so I was like 'okay, let's leave all that stuff then, you've found out what the problem is, let's tackle it head on.' Everything happens for a reason, so that health scare, if that's going to shake him up a bit and jumpstart his health journey then great I'm right here for him."

She continued: "He's taking it seriously, yeah we're only 13 days into the new year but that's good enough for me." While it is not clear whether or not Rob's latest picture is recent, Khloe and his other sisters have shared throwback pictures of the Arthur George creator on their social media pages.

"If only you could see yourself through my eyes! I'll forever be obsessed with you! My one and only! #MyAce," Khloe captioned the picture of her and Rob, that shows him kissing her on the cheek.

As for making a comeback on the family reality TV show, The Kocktails with Khloe host says Rob is excited to return on his own time. "I mean he was very happy doing the show for many years," she said during Bravo's Watch What Happens Live on Sunday. "He still says he misses doing the show."
