15 Celebrity Friendships That Have Stood the Test of Time
Friends are the people who will let you borrow a spare pencil during chemistry class and wave to you in the halls, but a best friend is the person who will never say no to late night text sessions and knows more about your crush than your crush’s mother does. It’s hard to say when exactly we enter into best friendship with someone, but suffice it to say it has to do with many giggle fits, a bond over shared junk food, and the courage to be honest with each other.
Celebrities have been known to keep their inner circles tight, so when a best friend surfaces on their fame radar, the world takes notice. Being best friends with a famous person requires a new level of intimacy, after all — not only do they need to be comfortable with each other, but they need to be OK with the world knowing the ins and outs of their relationship, too. These 15 pairs of celebrity BFFs have gone above and beyond the call of friendship, and we love them all the more for it.

The pretty little liars are so close that they even have their own couple’s name: Buttah Benzo. Seriously though, you can’t go on Shay’s Instagram page without seeing ultra adorable pics of Ashley, and vice versa. We have a secret and we can’t keep it… it looks like these two were made for each other.

They might not have played the closest of friends in Spider-Man: Homecoming, but it's clear that Tom Holland and Zendaya are BFFs in real life. The duo has one of the most supportive friendships ever, with fans marveling over how much the Spidey actor hypes up Z on social media. Oh, and we could never forget that time they duked it out on Lip Sync Battle and Tom brought every trick possible.

The reigning queens of comedy met in the ‘90s and have been inseparable ever since (thank goodness). They made the world laugh on SNL and have proven time and time again that women are just as hilarious and hardworking as men — if not more. Tina and Amy, we salute you and all you’ve done for gal pals.

When the two megastars started showing up in pictures together, the world took notice. How could two people so amazing find each other? How funny are their coffee dates? Are their sleepovers nonstop laugh fests filled with pizza and cameos from Aziz Ansari? We have so many questions, and not enough answers. Hopefully all will be revealed when their movie collaboration starring the two as sisters is finally released to the world!

Flaca and Maritza forever! Not only are the two best friends on screen in Orange is the New Black, but they actually hang out all the time in IRL. Whether they’re attending a gay pride event, lounging in the pool together, or just shooting the breeze on Snapchat, we can’t get enough of the adorable pair.

We know Lili Reinhart and Camila Mendes from their hit CW series Riverdale, where they play Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge, respectively. But beyond playing best friends on the series based off the Archie comics, they're also great friends in real life and constantly raise the bar for friendship goals.

This duo proves that bonds formed on the Disney Channel can last a lifetime. Not only have Demi and Nick worked together with the Mouse, but nowadays the besties are so tight that they’re on tour together. Talk about coming full circle.

T-Swift is the creator of #squadgoals, but there’s something about her relationship with Selena Gomez that goes beyond group photos on Instagram and turns into true sisterhood. The performers have been besties since back in the early aughts when they were both dating Jo Bros. Sure, their taste in men might have changed since then, but they’ve always stayed true to each other — making their friendship more beautiful than any romantic one.

As the age old saying goes, girls who hang at Coachella together, stay together. Maybe we got our colloquial sayings mixed up there, but the two bubbly celebs are constantly seen on the festival circuit and always look like they’re having a blast! Weirdly enough, the two were introduced by a shared hair stylist who thought the girls would click—and click they did.

On Game of Thrones, the Stark sisters couldn’t be more opposite. But in real life, the actresses who play them get along swimmingly. Mophie is a movement that’s treasured by fans and we love seeing new pictures of the pair goofing around in hotel rooms together. Hopefully their characters end up reunited on the HBO smash hit, too.

In more recent friendship developments, there's Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown and her rapport with rapper Drake. She has opened up about their friendship in various interviews, explaining how he invited her to one of his concerts and ever since then she'll hit him up every so often for advice. Oh and to solidify their friendship, she also appeared in his music video for "In My Feelings."

What do you get when you bring two California-bred supermodels together? Only one of the best celebrity friendships of all time. Although we can’t always relate to the girls’ demanding schedules and jetsetter lifestyles, we still admire the ways in which they publicly support each other — and always look glam while doing it.

You might never have thought about the "Roar" singer and the Girls star getting together, but it makes so much sense! The two are both killer business women, shine on the red carpet, and are known in the industry for being perfectionists. Did we mention KP sang at Allison’s wedding in 2015? Yep! And Tom Hanks officiated… but that’s a story for another day.

The hilarious pair met on the set of The Office when they were both just 24 years old. Sparks flew between their on-screen characters, as well as in real life, but now the two are just honest-to-goodness BFFs. Their social media game is something to be rivaled, and Mindy never fails to put B.J. on blast when he’s done something hilarious, awkward, or adorable.

It’s not hard to believe that Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland are still BFFs… the dynamic duo grew up together! Both women refer to each other as family, and Kelly’s even been known to call Tina Knowles “mom." We’ve loved watching their relationship grow over the years and can’t wait to see what they’ll get up to next — could there be new Destiny’s Child music in the cards? Fingers crossed.
