The Once Unbreakable Bond

Kim Kardashian and Jonathan Cheban were once inseparable. Whether it was dazzling on the red carpet, attending high-profile events, or enjoying luxurious vacations, Cheban was always by the SKIMS mogul's side. But now, whispers of a rift have surfaced, and it seems Larsa Pippen might be the catalyst.

A Friendship Tested

Larsa Pippen's fallout with Kim Kardashian is no secret, and it appears to be impacting Kardashian's relationship with Cheban. The tension began when Cheban was spotted with Pippen at a fashion event in New York. This appearance raised eyebrows, especially since Pippen and Kardashian had a very public friendship breakup back in 2020, partly due to Kanye West.

“They were joined at the hip – red carpets, vacations, everything. But Kim’s empire exploded while Jonathan leaned harder into FoodGod. The dynamic shifted.”

Speculations and Assurances

Despite the swirling rumors, Cheban remains optimistic about his friendship with Kardashian. In a chat with Us Weekly, he insisted, "We’re going to be friends forever," and added, "We talk all the time." However, fans can't help but notice they haven't been seen together since December 2022, fueling speculation about the depth of their current relationship.

Conclusion: A Friendship in Flux?

While Cheban and Kardashian's friendship hasn't officially ended, his newfound closeness to Pippen is enough to keep the rumor mill turning. Only time will tell if these iconic friends can weather the storm and return to their former glory.
