A never-before-seen photo released by the father of David Miscavige shows the controversial Scientology leader posing with his family - including his wife Shelly who has been reported missing multiple times over the past few years.

Ron Miscavige appeared on Good Morning America Monday to promote his upcoming book about the Church, Ruthless, and shared a family photo with his wife, children and grandchildren from when they were all still members of Scientology.

Since that time Ron and his wife have left the Church, as has his oldest son Ron Miscavige Jr. and his family.

Everyone else remains in Scientology including Shelly, who was the subject of a 2013 missing-person report filed by her friend Leah Remini after she had not been seen in several years.

Rare sighting: Scientology leader David Miscavige and his wife Shelly (above) are seen together in a newly released photo

Family affair: The picture was shared by David's father Ron Miscavige (center with first wife Loretta) and also shows his brother Ron Jr. (second from right), his sister Lori (third from left) and their children

Ron has been cut off from his family since he made the decision to leave the Church in 2012 with his second wife Becky.

The pair drove for three days across the country after leaving one of Scientology's California compounds, eventually ending up in Wisconsin.

His son Ron Miscavige Jr. was the first to leave the Church in 2000, followed five years later by Ron Jr.'s daughter Jenna.

Jenna has also written a book about the Church, Beyond Belief: My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape.

She said in her book that after her mother and father left Scientology in 2000 she was not allowed to receive mail from them and could not use a phone for a year.

Ron's daughters and David's sisters Denise and Lori and still members of Scientology, and have disconnected from Ron and Ron Jr.

It is unclear why Shelly has not been seen in public since 2007, but after Remini filed her report in 2013 Shelly did speak with members of the Los Angeles Police Department and say she was fine and not being held against her will by the Church.

Her location is unknown.

She and David married in 1982, and four years later he became Chairman of the Board of the Religious Technology Center after the death of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

Concern: Shelly has not been seen in public since 2007 and in 2013 her friend Leah Remini (above last week) filed a missing-person report

Claim: A 2014 report claimed Shelly was sent away to a secret Church facility in 2006 after making executive decisions behind her husband David's back (David above with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes in 2008)

Remini first grew alarmed about Shelly she said at the 2006 wedding of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, which the wife of the Church leader did not attend.

'Shelly was always where David Miscavige was,' Remini explained in an interview with ABC News last year.

'It was a wedding of the century… it was like, "where’s Shelly?"'

Making things even more odd for Remini was that she could never get an answer when she asked people at the wedding.

'It’s such a simple thing. It’s a big wedding that the leader of the Church is here and his wife isn't. It’s getting weirder because you're making it weirder,' said Remini.

A Vanity Fair story from March 2014 claimed that Shelley is being kept at Twin Peaks, Rimforest, a 500-acre site that is located a little over an hour outside Los Angeles.

There is heavy security on the site, which is also outfitted to house David and Scientology paterfamilias Tom Cruise in the event of a nuclear Armageddon.

She has been there since 2006, but reportedly remains incredibly loyal to the Church.
