The last few years have seen Kim Kardashian and Ivanka Trump bond over their shared interest in prison reform, but their friendship started a few chapters before they had any political influence. According to AOL, Kardashian met Trump through her ties with Paris Hilton. The outlet cited a tweet claiming that the fabulous trio vacationed in Saint-Tropez in 2006. It doesn’t seem like Kardashian and Trump nurtured whatever bond was born from this holiday or their other possible interactions as young adults, but they were obviously on speaking terms when Kardashian started advocating for prison reform.

During the latter half of 2018, Kim Kardashian met with Trump and other White House officials to secure the release of a second prisoner. After the meeting, Kardashian tweeted, “It started with Ms. Alice, but looking at her and seeing the faces and learning the stories of the men and women I’ve met inside prisons I knew I couldn’t stop at just one. It’s time for REAL systemic change.” One year later, Kardashian credited Ivanka for her assistance in her social justice strides. “Thank you @IvankaTrump for helping me to start this amazing journey of fighting for people who truly deserve a second chance!” tweeted Kardashian in June 2019.
