Who keeps track? although Kim Kardashian is one of the most famous women in the world, only a few people have managed to become part of her trusted inner circle.
“I know I always say ‘my BFF’, and I sure have a lot, but Allison [Statter] and I go way, way back,” the Skims founder said in a December 2020 video with her old boyfriend, whom she met in elementary school.
“I don’t know life without Kim,” explains the CEO of the Blended Strategy Group. “You’ve just been such a great sister to me. It’s also just really comforting and really nice to be on the same path in life as well. We had our kids at the same time. We were married at the same time and had children. … It’s rare and it’s unique, and I feel so blessed that we have each other.”
Kardashian added, “Allison is the first person I’d call if there was a huge family drama. Like, before someone.
