Rob Kardashian has broken his social media silence, by sharing a behind-the-scenes snap of Kanye West kissing daughter North on the cheek. Rob, who has shunned the spotlight in recent years during his weight gain and bouts of depression, shared the intimate snap of Kanye with his niece earlier today:

The sweet image marked a change in the distant star’s relationship with Kanye, who married Rob’s sister Kim last year. Rob allegedly boarded a flight back to the US instead of attending his sister's big day due to a heated "family feud". This is the first time Rob has shared a family snap following his fresh Instagram start earlier this year. The 28-year old had previously wiped his account clean, before posting a picture of himself eating a sandwich in late July. While he has been keeping a distance from the publicity of the KUWTK TV show and publicity, sister Khloe did confirm that he was living with her in her home. Speaking to Complex magazine, Khloe said she wants to support her brother through his difficult time: "I have a big ass house and I wanted it so he could feel, like, comfortable. He's going through a hard time now, and it's behind gates. With this crazy lifestyle you have to think of places where you can still have your freedom."
