Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian's friendship has traversed various phases over the years, from childhood pals to a period of distance and later, a renewed connection. The duo, deeply rooted in Los Angeles, initially formed their bond in preschool.
Despite their long history, the friendship faced challenges when Kim Kardashian's career soared after the release of her sex tape with Ray J and the debut of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" in 2007.
Hilton, at that time, seemed to distance herself from Kardashian. In a 2008 radio show interview, Hilton made critical remarks about Kardashian's appearance, likening it to "cottage cheese inside a big trash bag." Despite Hilton's subsequent apology, their friendship appeared strained.
In 2011, Kardashian acknowledged the distance, stating, "We don't really talk." She shared the common sentiment that people come into one's life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, and sometimes friendships naturally evolve.
A turning point occurred in 2016 when Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian reunited at Kris Jenner's Christmas Eve party, marking a visible shift in their relationship. They posed for a photo together, signaling a potential reconciliation. Since then, signs of their renewed friendship have surfaced, with Hilton featuring in a fall 2020 Skims campaign, and Kardashian attending Hilton's wedding to Carter Reum in November 2021.
This journey through the years encapsulates the dynamic nature of their friendship, highlighting its resilience and ability to withstand the test of time.
