How long have Malika and Khloe been friends?
The girls have known each other since they were 15.
In fact, Khloe is really good pals with Malika's twin sister Khadijah too.
They met when Malika was dating one of Khloe's male friends... and the rest is history.
She explained on her blog: "Malika was dating one of my male best friends. He would always keep us apart because I am sure he knew we would just hit it off. One day we met and we did. Malika and Khadijah have been my best friends ever since."
Awkwardly, Malika had a crush on Khloe's brother Rob and were often seen flirting on camera during the reality show- she even modelled for his sock line Arthur George.
They never got together and Malika has since said Rob's "friendship is special."

The American beauty continued: 'I can't wait to get back and be with my friends and my family and my heart has never left home... I hope to get an earful [from Khloe] as well.'

Malika believes she has achieved this, as she reasoned: 'I will always be a twin, I will always be family with the Kardashians, but as an individual.
'They have been a security blanket for me and I'll always have that, but I have learnt that I'm capable of more.'
