In 2014, Kim and Ivanka were spotted together at the infamous Vogue Met Gala in New York City.

According to reports, the duo bonded over “motherhood and being new moms,” and they have stayed close ever since.

The reality star also spoke at an event in Washington with the president on the subject in 2019 after she personally met with prisoners.
Ivanka first facilitated the connection by introducing Kim to her husband Jared Kushner, who pushed Trump for the duo to meet.
Since then, Kim has stayed close with Ivanka and the duo have been spotted together on a number of occasions.
In October 2023, Ivanka was one of the surprise guests at Kim’s 43rd birthday celebration at Funke in Beverly Hills.
The former First Daughter attended the star-studded event alongside the likes of Hailey Bieber, and Kim’s sisters, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner.
Two months later, the pair were again spotted together as they hung out at the opening party for the Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
In August 2024, Kim was spotted out with Ivanka and her husband at an iconic Los Angeles restaurant.
The trio caught up over dinner at the notorious socialite-famous Malibu restaurant Nobu.
