Remember those five minutes when it looked like Rob Kardashian was getting his life together? They’re officially over. More reports are coming out about strife with his fiancée, Blac Chyna, and concerns about his health and well-being.

Things started heading south (publicly, anyway) on Monday night, when the sock designer went on a Twitter rant to announce his displeasure with the way his family handled his baby shower — and to share younger sister Kylie Jenner’s digits with the world. After posting Kylie’s number not once but twice, Rob revealed the cause of his grievance.

“Didn’t invite the Mother of my child to a baby shower you all were trying to throw for me ‼? You all must have lost your damn minds,” he blasted.

It’s probably worth noting that he did not bother to show up for the shower either — though it was speculated that the reason his sisters planned separate showers was because they knew he and Chyna weren’t speaking (which actually sounds pretty reasonable).

In fact, reports surfaced claiming Rob and Chyna, who got engaged in April after a whirlwind romance, weren’t even together anymore and he had essentially gone into hiding in his own home. Making matters worse, TMZ’s source also added that the 29-year-old had gained back all 50 pounds he had so proudly lost earlier this year, pushing him up to 300 again and prompting (legit) concern that his diabetes may spin out of control.

But it may not be as black and white as all that. A source told People that while Rob and Chyna are not in a great place, they are in fact together. “They are always up and down, but they went through a very rough patch as recently as last week. They weren’t speaking, or even texting.” That’s not good, considering Chyna is eight months pregnant with their child.

“It doesn’t bode well for their relationship, especially considering the baby is coming so soon. They’re not broken up, but it’s not a healthy relationship at all,” the source noted.

Further indicating trouble in paradise, according to TMZ, Rob was a no-show to promote the reality TV series he stars in alongside his fiancée (er, we think she’s still his fiancée), Rob & Chyna. Considering the fact that he was likely contractually obligated to be there, this doesn’t help his present state. Interestingly, on a preview clip for the upcoming Oct. 2 episode of their show, Chyna laments the fact that Rob has kept her somewhat separate from many of his friends.

“I don’t know none of Rob’s friends, and that’s just different,” she tells the camera after Scott Disick comments that Rob has “got all these friends that he grew up with” who Chyna didn’t even know. “They keep calling me, like, ‘Why haven’t I met Rob’s future wife, the mother of his child?‘” he said.

This is hardly the first time Rob went off the rails on social media following a fight with the soon-to-be mother of his firstborn though. Back in July, he scrubbed his Instagram of all photos of the twosome and unfollowed Chyna to further sever the tie.

“Rob is slipping back into a dark place,” a source told TMZ, adding that the Kardashian clan was praying he just “snaps out of it.” Based on his track record, however, that seems extremely unlikely.
