Kylie and Stassie first crossed paths through mutual friends at a Barnes & Noble in Calabasas, California, during their middle school years, as Stassie shared in a 2021 interview with Bustle.
"You've been the most consistent and loyal friend in my life," the 26-year-old beauty mogul said about Stassie via Teen Vogue, "and I feel like without you, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Because I wouldn't be weird anymore. I'd be trying to be normal."
Talking About Plastic Surgery

In contrast to Kylie, who took a while to openly discuss her lip fillers, Stassie has been candid about her plastic surgery. She disclosed in the past that she underwent a breast augmentation.
"I was very open to sharing -- plastic surgery is nothing to be ashamed of," she revealed. "A lot of people think plastic surgery is only for cosmetic reasons, to change something you're insecure about. All my comments were saying, 'You're so insecure, you're so insecure,' which is the complete opposite. If I was insecure, I wouldn't have showed it. I wanted to show people that there's nothing to be ashamed of -- that it's so common for girls to have this issue, and you can do something to fix it."
