Each year on June 8, we celebrate National Best Friends Day, a day to honor and thank the human treasures we have in our lives for their friendship and unconditional love.

We all agree that behind every heartbreak, a friend is convincing you that life must go on. Behind every suspicion of cheating, a friend is getting all the facts. Behind every drunk night, a friend is holding your hair in the toilet or getting you home safely. Behind every milestone, a friend is there celebrating with you.

The following list of celebrities BFFs has proof that they have a genuine friendship, despite their busy schedules. And if they can be there for each other, we all can, no matter what.

Stassie and Kylie Jenner’s friendship began when they met at bookstore Barnes & Noble. Both grew up almost living together. “You’ve been the most consistent and loyal friend in my life,” Kylie said to Teen Vogue about Stassie, “and I feel like, without you, I wouldn’t be the person I am today because I wouldn’t be weird anymore. I’d be trying to be normal.”

Selena once said during an interview with KISS FM that meeting Taylor was the best part of those relationships. “It was amazing, because she was the girl with the big curly hair and all the bracelets and the cowboy boots. And I was definitely up-and-coming, and we just clicked,” the star said at the time. “It was the best thing we got out of those relationships,” she concluded.

Camila Mendes and Lili Reinhart

After meeting on the set of Riverdale, Camila Mendes and Lili Reinhart began a genuine friendship. The actress revealed to J-14, their personalities complement each other, to the point of serving as motivation to take risks. “Friends push each other to leave their comfort zones, and Camila has definitely encouraged me to come out of my shell in social situations,” Lili shared. “She’s a social butterfly, and I’m more introverted. It’s a good balance.”

“I’ve learned from Lili that the true value of a friend lies within their ability to listen,” Camila said. “A good listener goes a long way.”
