<h2>Kendall Jenner + Gigi Hadid</h2>
Destined to be best friends? Definitely. The inseparable catwalkers met through Gigi’s stepdad, David Foster, who was once married to Linda Thompson, an ex of Kendall's father Caitlyn Jenner. From their first walk as Victoria's Secret models to the red carpets of the world's hottest parties, these bombshell beauties are making some serious waves. They’ve taken social media by storm with their flawless selfies and we just can’t get enough of the one-and-only #KenGi.

<h2>Channing Tatum + Jonah Hill</h2>
Channing and Jonah were partners in crime in the side-splitting movies <em>21 Jump Street</em> and <em>22 Jump Street</em>, roles that cemented their lifelong brotherhood. The charming duo’s camaraderie is palpable on and off the screen. Like their characters, Channing told Parade.com “If we were besties in high school, we would probably just end up staying up all night talking on the phone and having sleepovers and stuff.” How bromantic!

<h2>Jennifer Lopez + Leah Remini</h2>
JLo met Leah way back when through the singer’s ex-husband, Marc Anthony. "Immediately we hit it off," she told <em>The New Yorker</em> of their first encounter so many years ago. "And we were like, 'I will never leave you.’” So supportive of each other’s careers, the Latina superstar was in the front row cheering Leah on when she competed on <em>Dancing with the Stars</em> in 2013. The actress reciprocated the love and celebrated with Jennifer at the season finale of <em>American Idol</em>.

<h2>Taylor Swift + Selena Gomez</h2>
Although Taylor has the ultimate squad of close-knit celebrity friends, Selena Gomez has been there from the beginning. They became instant besties back in 2008 when they were each dating a Jonas brother, and it’s been a sisterhood that's since taken them from the stage during Taylor's 1989 world tour to side-by-side seats as each other's dates at awards shows and even the set of Taylor's "Bad Blood" music video. "I've known her for ten years, she's been one of my best friends through thick and thin, walked by my side," Selena told ITV's <em>Lorraine</em>. "Her whole family has been so supportive of me and yeah, she's been there during crucial points in my life and in my career." No bad blood here, that's for sure!

<h2>Jennifer Lawrence + Amy Schumer</h2>
When these two funny women found each other it was a match made in heaven! After Jen reached out to Amy to praise her comedy <em>Trainwreck</em>, the pair became fast friends and started working on a movie script in which they’ll play sisters. And it seems that friends who go to great lengths to surprise or embarrass each other stay together. Case in point: Jen filled Amy’s hotel with tons of balloons to congratulate her on her Emmy win. Effortlessly cool, the gal pals also danced to “Uptown Girl” from atop a piano at a Billy Joel concert, proclaiming their mutual adoration from new heights.

<h2>Reese Witherspoon + Chelsea Handler</h2>
How does Chelsea Handler wish her best friend Reese Witherspoon a happy birthday on Instagram? By sending her a nude, of course! And that’s definitely one reason Chelsea is the best type of buddy – you’re guaranteed to laugh until you cry. Reese shared exactly that sentiment when she posted this far-less-risqué photo, with which she praised her gal pal and gave a shout-out to her Netflix show, <em>Chelsea Does</em>.

<h2>Salma Hayek + Penelope Cruz</h2>
Best friends before fame and money, these Spanish-speaking actresses first met on the audition circuit. When Penelope settled in LA, Salma was the one who showed her the ins and outs of the city, and their friendship continued to blossom when they worked together in the movie <em>Bandidas</em>. "She's one of my best friends," Penelope told <em>Allure</em>. "We call each other huevos [eggs in Spanish]. We slept in the same bed so many times and it was like she was always trying to wake me up and call me huevos." Sleepovers with these ladies? That sounds mucho caliente!

<h2>Kate Hudson + Liv Tyler</h2>
Being born into famous families that were friends, these beauties both attended high school at the Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences while growing up in Hollywood. The stars are such a pretty pair, hitting up red carpets together over the years and co-starring in films <em>Dr. T</em> and <em>The Women</em>, in which they shared an onscreen kiss. Since then, the two A-list moms have been inseparable!

<h2>Shay Mitchell + Ashley Benson</h2>
This endearing friendship was made in TV heaven - there’s nothing like the bond you form when you and your best friend are on the run from a crazed stalker! The <em>Pretty Little Liars</em> stars share an equally strong kinship off-screen. “My longest girlfriend out in LA. Happy birthday @itsashbenzo no one makes me laugh harder during the middle of a scene than you”. No matter the long hours on set, these gorgeous jokesters know how to make each working day exciting, which is why Shay has referred to Ashley as the “little sister” she never had!

Oprah Winfrey + Gayle King

Best friends for more than 40 years, this iconic relationship is an inspiration! The two met at a news station in Baltimore where Oprah was an anchor and Gayle a production assistant. “We became friends, especially after a big snowstorm. When she couldn’t go out, get home and didn’t have enough clothes, I said, ‘OK, you can have my underwear.’ But then I added, ‘And don’t return it!’” Oprah told the New York Post. Fun fact: Gayle appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show 139 times and Oprah is godmother to all three of Gayle’s children. Over the years, they have been travel buddies, close confidantes and business partners when Gayle took the role of editor-at-large of O magazine. Oprah admits that when times got tough, her BFF was just a phone call away... and they would chat up to four times a day.

<h2>Beyoncé + Kelly Rowland</h2>
Bey and Kelly have been besties since they were teens, an unshakeable bond that's twenty-five years strong. Their friendship has evolved from their early years as co-members of girl group Destiny’s Child to superstar moms who have play dates with their kids. “I love my sister, and she is so incredibly supportive – one of the closest people to me. I love her to death, and I love being an aunt to Bey’s daughter, Blue Ivy” Kelly told <em>MTV News</em>. Despite hectic schedules, they still make time to enjoy family getaways together, like lavish yachting trips to Capri.

<h2>Eva Longoria + Victoria Beckham</h2>
Former Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer Victoria and <em>Desperate Housewives</em> alum Eva met in LA ten years ago and have since bonded over their love of fashion and similarly witty senses of humour. Eva describes Victoria as "the most beautiful woman inside and out" and says she's the "funniest person alive." Like any best friend, when Victoria’s first clothing store opened in London a few years ago, Eva immediately flew out to show her support. For Eva’s wedding to Jose Baston, her BFF Victoria was not only there to celebrate her special day and act as witness but she also designed three custom dresses for Eva.

<h2>Kyle Lowry + DeMar DeRozan</h2>
After five seasons on the Toronto Raptors, these backcourt buddies make up the NBA’s most endearing friendship. Acting as each other’s biggest fan, this twosome shows off their team spirit with high-fives throughout each game and chatting it up like brothers during interviews. But the fun doesn’t end when they leave the stadium. In this snap, the dynamic duo took on London, plus they had a ball when they were both chosen to play in the NBA all-star game. “I think it’s very unique. It’s a different bond. Us being teammates first and then friendship growing out of that, it has been special” Kyle told <em>The Globe and Mail</em>.

<h2>Julianne Hough + Nina Dobrev</h2>
It was their hairstylist that brought these two stars together, but their fun-loving personalities have kept them by each other’s sides. The duo always looks fabulous, whether they’re attending concerts, courtside at basketball games or even teaming up to model the Best Friend Keys necklaces for The Giving Keys company. "You are kind, smart, adventurous, loving, honest, beautiful, mysterious, free, funny, and so on and so forth..... I am so lucky to call you my best friend! I love you so much... My sister!" wrote Nina on Instagram. Earlier this year the former <em>Vampire Diaries</em> star threw her BFF the ultimate Bachelorette weekend in Mexico, which they documented on social media. How cute are they?

<h2>Demi Lovato + Nick Jonas</h2>
A friendly connection formed between Demi and Nick when they both starred in Disney’s 2007 film <em>Camp Rock</em> along with Nick’s brothers (one of whom, Joe, once dated Demi). These much-loved musical best friends have a history of collaborating, back when Nick was Demi’s creative director for her Neon Lights tour and in 2016 when they hit the road together for the Future Now tour – not to mention launching their own record label, Safehouse Records. From business partners to on-stage duets and acting gigs, there is nothing these two can’t achieve together. Their social-media photos reflect a constant stream of fun. “I love my relationship with Demi and our friendship and how important that is to me,” Nick told MTV.com.

Talk about the ultimate girl squad! These beauties have bonded over their shared love of the entertainment business and being hands-on moms.

<h2>Lea Michele + Jonathan Groff</h2>
There’s nothing better than quality time with your BFF! Jonathan has been a tower of strength for Lea, by her side through heartbreaks, relationship ups and downs and even writing her first book, <em>Brunette Ambition</em>. The adorable duo became best pals when they co-starred on Broadway in the 2006 play <em>Spring Awakening</em> and later reunited on <em>Glee</em> in 2010. Grabbing some R&R away from the spotlight, Michele shared the sweetest selfie of the pair cuddled up in bed together.

<h2>Ashley Tisdale + Vanessa Hudgens</h2>
These former Disney darlings caught the world's attention when they graced us with their singing talents in the hit 2006 film <em>High School Musical</em>. Since then, they’ve remained close pals. "She's like my sister. We grew up together,” Ashley told <em>Yahoo</em>. After Vanessa's father passed away, Ashley lent a shoulder to cry on and took her best girl out for a day of shopping. On Instagram, the BFFs engage in a flurry of fun as they are often seen eating, hitting the shops and exercising together at SoulCycle. Cheers to a real fairy tale friendship!
