Keeping Up With The Kardashians fans can't get enough of the reality TV star family, or their inner circle. From Jonathan Cheban to Malika Haqq to Larsa Pippen, the Kardashians' besties - and frenemies - often become famous in their own right. The same is true of Kylie Jenner's BFF Anastasia "Stassie" Karanikolaou, who has only been getting more attention lately.
Stassie first stepped into the spotlight after the end of Kylie's friendship with Jordyn Woods. But her friendship with Kylie goes way back. At one point, both she and Jordyn were living in Kylie's house. After the fallout with Jordyn, Kylie clung closer to Stassie, constantly praising her long-standing friendship. But the 23-year-old isn't just a famous BFF - she's also making a name for herself while dating a famous heartthrob.
Stassie was born and raised in Calabasas, Calif., which is famously where the Kardashians reside. Her father, a successful stockbroker, was born in Greece. She has one sibling, older sister Alexis, a successful hairstylist. She first met Kylie at a Halloween party when they were 11 years old. Today, over a decade later, they are the definition of inseparable. They often wear matching outfits and even have matching "Stormi" tattoos, the name of Kylie's daughter. And they famously got LASIK eye surgery together in 2019. Unlike her bestie, Stassie has been upfront about her plastic surgery, admitting to having two breast augmentations and getting lip filler.
Stassie now has over 10 million followers on her @stassiebaby Instagram, and that number is sure to keep going up. While some of her success is due to the Kardashian connection, she first gained a substantial following as a YouTuber. Her channel features vlogs, makeup tutorials, recipes, and fashion hauls. As an influencer, she's collaborated with brands including Savage x Fenty, TJ Swim, Revolve, and Oh Polly. She's also modeled for Teen Vogue, Pretty Little Things, and Khloe Kardashian's Good American brand. Between her modeling, social media, brand partnerships, and more, her net worth is estimated to be about $4 million dollars. That may not be Kylie's billion-dollar empire, but it's still quite impressive.
As Stassie's fame grew, tabloids started to gain interest in her dating life. In 2019, she reportedly had a fling with The Bachelorette star Tyler Cameron. The pair rang in the new year 2020 together, but apparently parted ways soon after. Stassie then got unprecedented attention when she started dating actor Noah Centineo. It's unclear when that relationship started, but in June of 2020, Stassie shared a photo of her wearing Noah's jacket on Instagram. The To All the Boys star fueled speculation by leaving flirty comments on the post. In October there were rumors that the lovebirds eloped, but those were disproven. Luckily, the relationship has earned bestie Kylie's stamp of approval.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians may be ending, but the attention paid to that family, and their friends like Stassie, surely isn't going away anytime soon.
