Kim Kardashian and Ivanka Trump may hide their unlikely friendship on the down-low, but it’s clear they’re tighter than they let on. Case in point: Ivanka was spotted sitting directly to the right of Kardashian at her birthday party — a prime spot that pretty much screams “besties.” Ivanka even took to Instagram Stories to celebrate the occasion, writing, “Loved celebrating you! HBD Kim.” Interestingly, Lauren Sanchez, Jeff Bezos’ fiancée, was also present, so it looks like Kardashian’s friendship circle is bigger than we thought. Weeks later, they were hanging out in Sin City for the opening of the Fontainebleau, enjoying a surprise performance by Justin Timberlake. “It’s always a great time with you @kimkardashian,” Ivanka posted on her Story, as noted by People.
Though they rarely share their moments online, sources say that Kardashian and Ivanka are thick as thieves — and have been for years. “Kim and Ivanka have been friends for years and have hung out on a number of occasions,” an insider shared with Us Weekly. “They initially bonded nearly a decade ago at the Met Gala over motherhood and being new moms. But they continued to connect numerous times over the years.” Their shared interest in criminal reform also apparently helped bring them closer together. “It’s something they’ve both dedicated a lot of their time towards and has helped strengthen their friendship even further,” the source added.
