Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz's daughter Lucie Arnaz, 73, shared a rare photo of her brother Desi Arnaz, Jr., 71, on Instagram.
The siblings were in Las Vegas at dinner with friends in the carousel of photos.
In two of the images, Lucie rests her head on her bearded brother's shoulder as they enjoyed a family dinner thanks to her husband Laurence Luckinbill's son Nick.
'With our special guest, my recalcitrant brother, Desi Arnaz, Jr.!!! Desi is alive and well, my friends – just likes to stay a bit 'undercover,'' Lucie wrote in her caption.
Desi has retreated from public life ever since the death of his wife Amy Arnaz in 2015. She had cancer and was just 63-years-old.

She went on to reveal the reason for the Las Vegas trip and festivities.
'We are here for the weekend as Larry is being tributed during the 35th Anniversary of Star Trek V celebration at The Treksperts Convention here.
'He played Spock's brother, Sybok in that film – and with his autobiography just released, is a very special guest here.'
Laurence appeared as Spock's brother in 1989's Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
'He'll be taking photos, selling and signing books and speaking on two panels,' she added.
She also shared photos from another dinner with her friends, Las Vegas entertainer Clint Holmes and his wife Kelly, as well as Maximillian Von Anhalt and Sunny Sessa.
'I snuck away to Caesar's and Joe's Seafood to join the indomitable Sunny Sessa, her dear Max and our pals, Clint and Kelly Holmes for more stimulating conversation and just a few naughty sweets!!'
