Word is that Rob Kardashian will indeed be returning to E!’s Keeping Up With The Kardashians— but it might cost his family, mainly his mother, Kris Jenner.

While Kardashian is often a topic of conversation on the popular show, he was MIA during the last season and still has yet to make an appearance in this one. But that could change if Jenner gets her way.

Reports claimed recently that Jenner has offered to give Kardashian $500,000 to document his weight loss on the show; he has lost more than 25 pounds just within the last few weeks.

One insider said that he seems to have gotten his health together this summer.

“Rob finally got serious about his fitness and most importantly, dealing with his mental issues. Once he made progress with a psychotherapist, Rob decided to begin exercising. Watching what he is eating has mae a huge difference, and Rob has quickly dropped 25 pounds. Kris is thrilled because frankly, for her, constantly being asked how he was doing was getting embarrassing!”

She’s said to be so “thrilled” that she wants him to show off his weight loss on the show. But Kardashian isn’t quite ready to be in front of the cameras just yet…or ever. And it doesn’t have anything to do with his weight or health.

“He doesn’t know if he ever wants to return to the show. He hates how fake it is and how phony his sisters and mom act. He is ready to branch out beyond the reality show.”
