Kim Kardashian celebrated her 43rd birthday surrounded by her closest family and friends, but two new VIP additions were front and center – Ivanka Trump and Lauren Sanchez, as seen on her reality show, The Kardashians. In recent years, the reality star has formed tight bonds with the former first daughter and fiancee of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
At an intimate dinner party thrown by sister Khloe Kardashian at Funke in Beverly Hills, Ivanka and Lauren secured prime seats right next to the birthday girl. Ivanka, 42, was seated to Kim’s right, while 54-year-old Lauren was just two seats away on the same side.
Their VIP placement at the center of the seating chart made it clear they had rapidly risen to the top of Kim’s elite friendship circle. Her sister, Kendall Jenner, even quipped about Kim’s “amazing life” as celebrities streamed in.
Kim and Ivanka’s friendship blossomed over their shared passion for prison reform. In 2018, they met at the White House as Kim advocated for commuting Alice Marie Johnson’s life sentence. Meanwhile, Kim has grown close with Lauren and Bezos, forming a bond over frequent dinners in recent years.
“Kim has the best friends, and they’re super supportive. That’s probably why I’ve never seen a therapist,” Kim said of her tight-knit group that night, including childhood “lifers” like Allison Statter.
As mom Kris Jenner gave a toast celebrating Kim’s friendships, old and new, the star reflected, “At least everyone here has known one crazy secret about me, and it’s never gotten out.”
Kylie Jenner eventually arrived fashionably late from a photoshoot, allowing the “sister photo” group shot to commence. Kim shared her birthday wish: “I have everything I could possibly want… I know what’s really important in life.”
