In a revealing new interview, Kim Kardashian has finally addressed the burning question about her relationship with Ivanka Trump, following her very public criticism of the former President's immigration enforcement tactics.
The SKIMS founder, who has become increasingly involved in criminal justice reform, spoke candidly about where she and the former First Daughter stand today. "We're cordial," Kardashian stated, carefully choosing her words when discussing their current dynamic.
The Backstory: A Public Falling Out
The tension between the two high-profile figures emerged two months ago when Kardashian took to social media to condemn the Trump administration's ICE raids. At the time, she didn't hold back her disapproval of the aggressive immigration enforcement measures that were separating families across America.
This public stance created an undeniable rift between Kardashian and the Trump family, particularly with Ivanka, who had previously been considered among her celebrity acquaintances.
Navigating Politics and Personal Relationships
When pressed about whether their differing political views had permanently damaged their friendship, Kardashian offered a nuanced perspective. "We move in different circles now," she explained, suggesting that their paths have naturally diverged since the Trump presidency ended.
The reality star turned business mogul emphasized that while they maintain respect for each other, their priorities and focuses have shifted in dramatically different directions.
From Socialites to Political Figures
Both women have undergone significant public transformations in recent years. Kardashian has evolved from reality television star to serious advocate for prison reform, even studying law and successfully lobbying for several high-profile pardons.
Meanwhile, Ivanka Trump transitioned from fashion entrepreneur to senior White House advisor during her father's administration, placing them on opposite sides of several key political issues.
Kardashian's comments suggest that while there's no active animosity between them, the close friendship that once sparked media fascination has cooled considerably in the wake of their political differences.
