Jessica Simpson and Kim Kardashian’s daughters are best friends

Jessica Simpson and Kim Kardashian’s daughters have become best friends and we absolutely love it.

The fashion designer and former Dukes of Hazard actress has revealed that her nine-year-old daughter Maxwell is close to Kim’s nine-year-old girl North, who she described as a “great kid” with the potential to change the world.

Jessica, 41, said: “One of Maxwell’s best friends is North. She is wonderful. She is a great kid and she will be part of a change in this world.”

And the star revealed that her husband Eric Johnson – with whom she also has children Ace, eight, and daughter Birdie, three – “only recently” coached the North and Maxwell basketball teams.

She admitted it’s been “fun” living in the same neighborhood as Kim, 41, and their children — North, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, two, — who she shares with ex Kanye West .

Jessica told Us Weekly: “Being so close makes it easy [for their friendship].’

And she admitted she admires the way Kim and her family have “remained the same” despite their high profile, with life being in the spotlight through her reality TV shows.

“I’m like, ‘I don’t know how you guys do this all the time,'” she said. “I was only able to last three seasons [on Newlyweds], but they’re so open and they’ve always stayed the same. … It’s really hard to do, and they’re powerhouses.’

Meanwhile, the Love Guru actress – who starred on the MTV reality show with ex-husband Nick Lachey between 2003 and 2005 – insisted the format had become “easier” for those involved over the years.

‘It was one of the first, and that’s how it was [cameras] They followed me from waking up to going to sleep all day unless I kicked them out, but I always felt bad,” she added.

“I don’t think reality shows are built that way these days. I think they have shooting days and stuff like that.’
