Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid and Stassie Karanikolaou Share 3-Way Kiss During Girls' Night Out
Even though she missed Kylie Jenner's 29th birthday party, Stassie Karanikolaou is still keeping up with her friend.
In fact, the Better Half podcaster shared a sweet tribute to Jenner on Aug. 10, calling the Kardashians star her "forever" bestie.
Sharing a photo of the pair wearing matching white tank tops, Stassie—who was recently vacationing in Ibiza, Spain—wrote on her Instagram Story, "Happy birthday to my baby."
And proving that there was no love lost, Kylie re-shared the post from her own account, responding with four emojis of pink hearts that called back to her bash's "Princess Kitty" theme.
Indeed, the Kylie Cosmetics mogul was decked out in head-to-toe pink as she rang in her latest milestone. In photos shared on Instgram Aug. 9, she and party guests—including Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Stassie's Better Half podcast co-host Victoria Villarroel—rocked attire in various shades of rose, blush and fuchsia.
Completing their Barbiecore looks with feathered boas and sparkly tiaras, the group celebrated with cocktails and sweet treats by Cory Pohlman, who created a cake shaped in the shape of a bikini-clad woman as well as a frosted, bejeweled centerpiece for the festivities.
"Happy bday eve to meeee," Kylie captioned the snapshots. "I had my dream princess kitty bday night. My heart if [sic] so full. I love my life and my friends."

But this wasn't the first time Stassie, also 29, faced speculation of a feud in her yearslong friendship with Kylie, who she first met at a Barnes & Noble when they were in middle school. In 2021, the influencer addressed rumors that they had fallen out after Kylie was noticeably missing in photos from her own birthday bash.
“It's nuts because I'm like, ‘I've known this girl since I was literally 13,’" Stassie quipped in a Bustle interview at the time. "If you think that [because] we don't post a photo together for a month we're not friends, you’re insane."
Since then, the two have continued to remain close, with Kylie even likening Stassie to a "sister."
"She's definitely my oldest friend," the Khy founder explained during a 2023 episode of The Kardashians. "We grew up together, we've been through so much together."
