While some sisters like Britney Spears and Jamie Spears may never find closure, the sisters on the list have always had each other back, defending each other through the controversy. From the elevator kicks, break-ups, and controversy, take a look at 7 celebrity sisters that proved they will always have each other’s back.

Beyoncé and Solange Knowles

Everyone remembers the elevator footage of Beyoncé Solange, and Jay-Z at a 2014 Met Gala Party. In the clip, Solange could be seen throwing punches and a kick at Jay- while a bodyguard tries to restrain her. Bey eventually stepped between them and she chose to leave the venue with her sister and not Jay-Z. Jay-Z almost tried to get in the same car with them but walked down the block into another car. 3 months later in the remix to her hit song “Flawless,” she sang, “Of course, sometimes s--- go down when there‘s $1 billion on an elevator.” Jay-Z also made it clear that they were all still a family, “We’ve had one disagreement. Before and after, we’ve been cool,” the 47-year-old said. ”That’s my sister. Not my sister-in-law, no, my sister. Period.”

Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid

Gigi and Bella Hadid are both in the competitive modeling industry but they will always defend each other. In 2015 Gigi told British Vogue that if someone is mean to Bella, it could be the end of them. “What would you do if someone was being mean to Bella?” the magazine asked the then 20-year-old. “It‘s like the end of your life pretty much,” Gigi replied. She then shared an epic story of a time she threatened to throw a photographers camera on the floor. “Backstage at a show in Paris, for some reason they let photographers take pictures while girls were changing, which just pisses me off. My sister’s changing next to me and I was like, ‘If you don’t put that camera away and stop shooting my sister, I’m going to come over there, I’m going to take that camera, and throw it on the floor,” Yolanda Foster’s oldest daughter explained.

The Kardashian-Jenner sisters

Say what you want about the Kardashians/Jenners, they have a pretty amazing bond. From Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner, they’ve come to each other‘s defense on multiple occasions. When people began to question a Forbes cover calling Kylie Jenner a “self-made billionaire” Kim defended her. In an interview with Refinery 29, she explained “We are all ‘self-made. What, because we came from a family that has had success? To me, that doesn’t really make sense.” Plus, when it revealed that Kylie’s best friend Jordyn Woods kissed Khloe’s man Tristan Thompson, they all cut her out of their life.

Paris and Nicky Hilton

Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton have joked about how they use to fight over clothes but they’ve always had a close relationship. Being in front of the camera at a young age could be difficult and they would often support each other at their appearances. This past March the sister recalled an appeaser on CBS’ Late show with David Letterman in 2007 where the host repeatedly asked Paris about her three-week stint in jail for violating her probation in an alcohol-related driving incident. Paris said that she was “in tears, crying and shaking” as she left the stage but thankfully her sister Nicky was waiting off-camera and she immediately went to her sister. Nicky remembered. “Just to have a young girl up there and ask her questions designed to humiliate her is cruel. And I don’t think that would happen today.” Nicky also called out Sarah Silverman who included several jokes about Paris going to jail during her set at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards.

Venus and Serena Williams

Tennis professionals Serena Williams and Venus Williams have faced each other on the court multiple over the last 24 years, but they will never be rivals. Even when they try to eliminate each other, “The best part is (that) we bring out the best in each other,” Serena told reporters during the US Open in 2018. “I know when I play her, I have to play some of my best tennis. She does, too… I feel like throughout our careers, we have pushed each other to be the best that we can be.” That same year she said she’s even cheering for Venus when they play one another. “I never root against her, no matter what. I think that‘s the toughest part (of playing her) for me. When you always want someone to win, to have to beat them. I know the same thing is for her. When she beats me, she always roots for me as well,” she said per Olympics.
