The fact that both long-legged girls Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin are dating the same guy, Justin Bieber, does not seem to affect their friendship.

Through their successful modeling careers, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin quickly built one of the closest friendships Hollywood has seen in a long time.

Both ladies have known each other since the early 2010s and since then, have traveled the world together, along with their mutual friends Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid, Justine Skye, Jaden Smith and Cara Delevingne.

Before Hailey Baldwin reconciled with Justin Bieber and married him in 2018, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star was rumored to have had a brief relationship with the pop star – but dating the same guy It doesn’t seem to affect their friendship. In fact, Jenner is still close with Bieber to this day (just not romantically).

Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin’s friendship

It’s no secret that both of these successful ladies started their modeling careers in 2011, and have performed together many times.

Jenner revealed in an interview with Elle that Baldwin is very close to her sister, Kylie Jenner, explaining that whenever the famous sisters hang out in New York, they come to visit her.

“Hailey is best friends with my sister, Kylie, and I’m best friends with her cousin Ireland. Hailey lives in New York, and whenever we go there, we hang out with her… Since then, she’s been my friend.”

“Kylie was mad at first; I had to put them back together and say, ‘No, it’s okay, guys.’ But all is well; That’s our love story.”

Since then, it wasn’t long before Baldwin and Jenner began their modeling careers, and they later attended star-studded events walking the same runways for famous fashion designers. .

It seems that mutual understanding helped the girls overcome the pressure of being new faces in the leggy world, which strengthened their relationship.

The 25-year-old went on to tell Elle that it was during her first New York Fashion Week in 2011 when she joked that she “stole Hailey from Kylie,” before emphasizing that her sister is still friends with Baldwin, even though it’s no secret, she’s now closer to the blonde beauty than the Kylie Cosmetics entrepreneur.

To put into perspective just how close Baldwin and Jenner have become over time, Jenner mentioned in 2016 that she got the same tattoo as Justin Bieber’s wife to commemorate their friendship.

At the time, the two went to a tattoo parlor when they got a broken heart tattooed on their middle finger as Jenner explained on Snapchat:

“The tattoo on my right hand is a whole heart representing an angel, and the tattoo on the left hand is a broken heart – kind of like a devil’s nest.”

Jenner’s broken heart resembles Baldwin’s, who also has a tattoo on her finger, which somehow gives the idea that Jenner is incomplete without her other half, which explains why. she thinks a broken heart is “evil.”

Fans won’t recognize the tattoo on their finger because it was inked with white ink, which tattoo artist JonBoy says “because Jenner doesn’t want people to see.”

In a 2019 interview with Vogue Australia, Baldwin didn’t know how long her friendship with Jenner would last, explaining that she often compared her height to her model friends, which made her nervous and nervous. self-deprecation.

“Look at Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and Gigi Hadid… they are tall and perform well on the runway,” she confessed. “I don’t know if I would have had the career I wanted if I hadn’t walked the runway. I don’t think about that anymore. There were a lot of people, like casting directors, who said, ‘We don’t think she’s a real model.'”

Luckily for the Arizona native, she got over her insecurities pretty quickly because losing Jenner because of her lack of confidence in her modeling career simply wasn’t worth it.

“You can be a model and not have to walk the runway, and I did that very well. I’m proud of myself for building a career as an advertising model and being confident about it.”

In September 2019, when Baldwin and Bieber got married at the luxury resort Montage Palmetto Bluff in South Carolina, Jenner attended with Kris Jenner, Jaden Smith, Corey Gamble, Scooter Braun and more.
