Kim Kardashian recently shared a nostalgic Instagram post featuring her lifelong best friend, Allison Statter. The pictures, posted on Saturday, offer a glimpse into their childhood days, showing Kim and Allison enjoying a sunny day together.
In the throwback photos, a young Kim, now 39, sports a white patterned shorts and pants set, paired with a matching white hair tie securing her high ponytail. She completes the look with white socks and trainers. Allison, now 40, channels a quintessential late ’80s style in hot pink shorts and a sideways ponytail.
In the first image, the two friends embrace each other, with Allison striking a confident pose. The second photo captures them in front of a beach scene with Kim’s grandmother, MJ (Mary Jo Campbell), who recently celebrated her 86th birthday.
Kim captioned the post: “My best friend @allisonstatter and I in San Diego. We must have been 7 years old and we would go stay with my grandma for a weekend.”
This isn’t the first time Kim has reminisced about her friendship with Allison on social media. During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in April, Kim shared heartfelt posts highlighting her close relationships, including with Allison and her mother, Shelli Azoff, whom Kim affectionately calls “aunt” despite no blood relation. For Allison’s 40th birthday in January, Kim posted a black-and-white throwback photo from a mid-90s trip to Paris.
Kim has maintained many friendships from her childhood and high school years, but her bond with Allison is particularly long-standing. Allison’s mother, Shelli Azoff, is a close friend of Kim’s mother, Kris Jenner, and Shelli is married to the influential music executive Irving Azoff.
Among the 75 accounts Kim follows on Instagram, Allison’s is one of the few. Kim, who boasts 184 million followers, clearly values her enduring friendship with Allison, highlighting their deep-rooted connection.
