Kylie Jenner on Instagram: let me tell you ‘bout my best friend
YouTuber Anastasia “Stassie” Karanikolaou has been in the Kardashian circle for more than a decade.
She met her now-BFF Kylie Jenner in middle school, and the two have been inseparable since.
“She’s definitely my oldest friend,” Jenner said of Karanikolaou on the season 3 finale of The Kardashians. “We grew up together, we’ve been through so much together. She’s like a sister.”
Despite being an internet personality in her own right — Karanikolaou has close to 11 million followers on Instagram, where she was long known by her previous username, “stassiebaby” — a great deal about Karanikolaou’s upbringing remains largely unknown.
Between her YouTube channel, which has more than 750,000 subscribers, and a tell-all interview on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy released last in 2022, Karanikolaou has slowly opened up to her fans. Karanikolaou told Cooper that she tends to avoid interviews because she gets “so nervous” talking to people, which has played a part in how private she’s kept her early life.
