People love unlikely friendships.
Like there’s nothing cuter than this dog
and this owl being BFFs.
Or this monkey and this cat acting like siblings.
The internet just can’t get enough of friendships
like these, so you can imagine how exciting
it is for fans when there’s an unlikely
friendship between two of their favorite celebrities.
19 year old Addison Rae and 41 year old Kourtney
Kardashian.
These two have been hanging out a lot recently
despite their 22 year age difference and for
some fans it’s the unlikely friendship they
didn’t know they needed while others are
questioning it.
But…
I mean stranger things have happened in 2020
right?
Anyway, how did these two even become friends
in the first place and how has their friendship
evolved since they first met?
Don’t worry we’ve got all the tea for
you and we’re going to break down their
friendship timeline right here on Listed.
Alright, so fans of Addison Rae know that
she has completely blown up over the past
year since she posted her very first Tik Tok
in July 2019.
She is now the 2nd most followed person on
the platform with over 53 Million Followers
And that’s just on Tik Tok.
Across her other social media pages like her
Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter she’s got
tens of millions more followers making her
one of the biggest influencers in the world
right now.
Seriously, Addison Rae went from being a regular
girl making TikToks in Louisiana to an A List
celeb being followed out of Nobu by paparazzi
almost overnight.
With that kind of skyrocket to fame has come
some very famous friends along the way.
Of course, Addison is friends with fellow
Tik Tok stars like Charli and Dixie D’Amelio,
but she’s also become friends with some
major YouTubers like James Charles and David
Dobrik.
And I know what you’re thinking, what does
any of this have to do with Addison and Kourtney’s
friendship?
Well, it was actually Addison’s friendship
with David Dobrik that led her to being friends
with Kourt.
In an interview on The Tom Ward Show last
month, Addison revealed that she met Kourtney
through her friendship with David Dobrik and
it originally started because Kourtney’s
son Mason was a fan of Addison’s.
“I met them through a friend.
I met Kourtney through a friend through David
and um and we had surprised Mason because
Mason liked my videos on Tik Tok and yeah
it kinda just stuck around and we got really
close.”
Addison posted this video on Tik Tok with
both Mason and David at what seemed like her
introduction to the fam back in March.
And if you’re a die hard Addison Rae fan,
you know that she and Mason had met virtually
before this on a now infamous live stream
where Mason called Jeffree Star “spoiled
AF.”
Kourtney has since deleted Mason’s public
IG page and that was all before Addison met
the Kardashians IRL.
And while she may be one of the biggest influencers
in the world right now, this unlikely friendship
between herself and Kourtney was just as surprising
to Addison as it was for all of us.
She told Access Hollywood that back when she
started Tik Tokking a year ago she never would’ve
thought that less than a year later she’d
be hanging with the Kardashians.
“Did you ever think you’d be posting videos
with Kourtney Kardashian when you started
off?
No I never would’ve ever guessed that in
my entire life but she’s such an amazing
person and I look up to her so much so it
is really cool to be able to teach her a Tik
Tok dance every now and then.”
Addison also said that while she doesn’t
necessarily get star struck by friendships
like hers with Kourtney, sometimes she forgets
this new influencer lifestyle is really her
life now.
She told Tom Ward quote, “Like, I don't
necessarily freak out about a single individual,
but I'll overall look at it and be like, ‘What
is my life?
Why am I driving to Malibu right now?
Where am I?'
I think it's just because I am not, you know,
from here.
So, it's still crazy to me that I even live
in Los Angeles.”
And Addison and Kourtney’s friendship started
to gain attention from fans, due to the fact
they kept appearing in each other’s social
media post.
Perfect example, this now iconic Tik Tok of
Addison dancing with Kourtney and her entire
family running through the video.
But Addison said that she and Kourtney just
really hit it off, started hanging out and
working out together and now they are actually
really close.
“We’ve been doing social distancing workouts
on my basketball court, you’ve been here
so you know”
The unlikely friends have been seen out to
dinner together at Nobu, they’ve been spotted
at the beach with Kendall Jenner, and they’ve
even reportedly stayed at a home in Malibu
together.
Kourtney also had Addison on her YouTube channel
for a 6 minute booty workout.
“I feel like these moves are so simple but
so…
Classic.
Classic booty moves but I love it.
These are what...
I used to do this in college like watching
movies.
Yes.”
And since then Addison has continued to share
pics either with Kourtney or taken by Kourtney
on her feed like this one where she wrote
quote, “me ft. masons finger and kourtney's
shoulder” and this pic where she just tagged
Kourtney in the pool with her.
She’s even gotten to hang with Kourtney’s
ex Scott Disick while hanging with the fam.
Some people even thought that Scott and Addison
were dating after a strange Instagram caption
from Kourtney, but it doesn’t seem like
there’s any truth to that.
Kourt was likely just joking around.
But some people DO think that Addison is starting
to look like a Kardashian after hanging with
Kourt so much.
Ever since Addison and Kourtney became friends,
some fans were totally here for this friendship
while others questioned how random it is!
People have been taking to Twitter to share
their thoughts.
One person wrote quote, “am I the only one
who thinks Addison Rae and Kourtney Kardashians
relationship is weird?
Like she’s over 40 and she’s between 17-21
and they’re just hanging out like no biggie??
Wat would they even talk about ???”
Another fan questioned the situation writing
quote, “why is Addison Rae living in Kourtney
kardashians house”
This person wrote quote, “addison rae hanging
out with kourtney kardashian is ummmmm odd
to say the least”
And this fan tweeted saying quote, “Ok but
why is Kourtney Kardashian hanging out with
Addison Rae so much and why do I care.”
But others were just totally jealous writing
things like “wishing i was addison rae so
i could make tiktoks with kourtney and her
fam”
And “people are questioning @whoisaddison
because she’s having out with kourtney kardashian
but what i would give to go on vacation with
her and scott is crazy she’s living my dream”
Meanwhile, other fans were just straight up
excited for Addison like this person who said
quote, “addison rae is really doing the
damn thing!!! bitch gets to hang with kourtney
kardashian and be the face of AE”
And this fan who wrote quote, “@whoisaddison
WTF QJSNKJSAK IM SO HAPPY FOR U BAE”
Other fans reminded us that this isn’t the
first time that Kourtney has connected with
some younger friends like this person who
wrote quote, “Everyone is so confused as
to why Kourtney Kardashain hangs w/ Addison.
First off good for u Addison lol and second
y’all must’ve missed the episode where
Kendall was mad Kourtney was hanging with
all her friends and thought it was weird she
vibed with people half her age.”
“A lot of the trip people were picking on
me and by people I mean Kourtney most of the
time.
And whether or not she thought she was joking,
I didn’t really think it was a joke.”
And this also isn’t the first older celeb
Addison has become friends with.
She’s also made TikToks with other big stars
like Jason Derulo.
For the haters trolling on Addison and Kourtney’s
friendship, Addison luckily has Kourt’s
years of wisdom to look up to.
Addison even spoke to People Magazine about
some specific advice she’s gotten from her
friend.
Addison said that Kourt has reminded her to
tune out hate and focus on the positive.
She told People quote, "One of my friends,
Kourtney Kardashian, has told me to appreciate
and look at the bigger picture and to not
get so caught up in the micro.
Just enjoy what you have and don’t let things
get to you too much because there’s so much
else to be happy about."
And that’s some pretty good advice for all
of us!
Speaking of advice, Addison has a new Spotify
podcast with her mom called “Mama Knows
Best” where they talk all things growing
up, relationships, and of course, advice.
“Hey y’all it’s Addison Rae and I’m
her mom Sheri.
Listen to our new podcast ‘Mama Knows Best’
exclusively on Spotify.”
Addison revealed to Access Hollywood that
they plan to start having guests on the podcast
which got all of us thinking, so is Kourtney
gonna be on the pod?!
When she was asked about the potential of
Kourtney coming on her podcast, Addison got
a little nervous and dodgy, leading us to
believe there may already be something in
the works.
See for yourself...
I mean that would definitely be awesome.
I’m sure there’s conversations maybe that’ll
be had but who knows!”
From that answer, why do I feel like those
conversations have already been had?!
I mean Kourtney would be a GREAT guest, she
is a mom and the whole podcast is about mother
daughter relationships and who knows that
better than Kourtney!
We definitely look forward to that potential
episode we’re currently manifesting and
everything else these two could do together
in their newfound friendship.
Speaking of which, Kourtney did recently make
a major appearance on Addison’s YouTube
channel in her video ‘A DAY IN THE LIFE
OF: KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN!!’
“Lookey who decided to show up, hi.
So today I’m going to be living a day in
your life.
That should be easy because we do this all
the time.”
In the vlog Kourtney shared her first impression
of Addison.
“When you first met Addison what was your
first thought?
She’s just always been super sweet and just
great energy that it’s like contagious to
be around.”
And Addison also revealed that she works out
with Kourntey and her trainer 6 to 7 times
a week before they sit down for breakfast
together.
“This is literally what we do every morning,
I want you all to know.”
Ummm ok I knew they were friends but I didn’t
realize they literally hung out every single
day.
That’s like a whole new level of friendship.
And then after their workout and breakfast
they hop in the pool for a swim.
“So every day after we work out we swim.
Go for a swim, or a night swim.”
At the end of the video Kourt and Addison
drive off together as Kourtney says “she
has to go film.”
Like am I the only one wondering if Addison
is going to appear on next season of Keeping
Up With the Kardashians or have y’all wondered
that too?!
Only time will tell and it seems like their
friendship is only just getting started.
I guess age really is just a number!
And let’s be honest, stranger things have
certainly happened this year than Addison
and Kourt’s friendship.
They both seem happy, so we have no choice
but to stan!
