Reality TV star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian used her Instagram platform this weekend to send a warm, belated birthday wish to fellow high-profile figure Lauren Sanchez. The public display of affection underscores the growing bond between the two women, who have been increasingly spotted together at exclusive events.
A Glamorous Birthday Salute
On Saturday, Kim Kardashian took to the social media platform to honour Lauren Sanchez, who celebrated her 56th birthday the day before. The 45-year-old SKIMS founder shared a nostalgic throwback photograph of Sanchez, accompanied by a gushing caption.
"Happy Belated Birthday to the ultimate girls' girl @laurensanchezbezos," Kardashian wrote. She effusively added, "You are always uplifting everyone around you. I've never met a more fun spirit in my life!!!!" The post was signed off with a simple, "I love you."
This public tribute was promptly re-shared by the new Mrs. Bezos to her own Instagram Stories, where she also posted another birthday message from model Brooks Nader.
A Reciprocal Friendship
The birthday goodwill is mutual. Back in October 2024, when Kim Kardashian turned 44, Sanchez similarly posted a loving online shoutout. "Happy birthday to the woman who lights up every room she walks into. Love you @kimkardashian," she wrote at the time.
Their friendship has visibly deepened throughout the year. Kardashian was a guest at Sanchez's bachelorette party and subsequently attended the extravagant Italian wedding of Sanchez and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos earlier in 2024. The multi-day celebration took place in Venice.
Integrating into the Kardashian-Jenner Circle
Lauren Sanchez has become a familiar face within the Kardashian-Jenner family's social orbit. Just last month, the former journalist attended Kris Jenner's 70th birthday party. More recently, she reunited with the famous clan for a festive holiday gathering.
Khloe Kardashian reposted photos from this event, captioning them: "Holiday fun with my girls. 90s Xmas." She explicitly thanked Sanchez for hosting, writing, "The perfect night hosted by Lauren, you are simply the best. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas." For the soirée, Sanchez opted for a sleek all-black outfit, accessorised with a statement leopard-print fur coat.
This A-list bash followed Sanchez's own reflective birthday post, where she shared a video compilation featuring behind-the-scenes moments from her wedding. The clips included her practising her aisle walk in a Dolce & Gabbana gown and smiling on a balcony with the Eiffel Tower in view.
"If you had told me when I was a little girl this is what life would look like at 56, I'm not sure I would've believed you," Sanchez mused in the caption, reflecting on her marriage, children, book release, and space venture.
