Wherever you are in life, there is always at least one person who has known you longer than you have known yourself. Before you could figure who you were in this world, a childhood best friend or two was standing next to you doing the same. These are the people who you can fall back into comfortable conversation with despite going weeks, months, or even years without speaking.
Kim Kardashian, who many have described as American royalty, is just like the rest of us in this regard. The reality star-turned-business mogul has a close group of pals she has known well before cameras entered the chat. She is not shy about shouting them out like she did in an Instagram post from May 2023. Beneath a slideshow of her childhood buds Kim wrote, "Life is better when you have your lifers." Who are Kim Kardashian's childhood best friends? Let's meet them.

Each one of these women is strong, successful, passionate and inspiring." Simone was the person who called Kim's bodyguard when she was robbed in Paris, per Glamour UK. She lives in Los Angeles with "her real estate husband, Marc Bretter, son Dashiel and their daughter, Azlan."

Kim has often supported Zoe's organization at fundraising events.
