Kim, 42, posted a series of photos to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday to celebrate the birthday of her old pal Jonathan Cheban.
Jonathan, who goes by Foodgod on social media, turned 49 on February 21 and Kim made sure to let her followers know about it.
The billionaire TV personality first shared a recent snap of her and Jonathan at a restaurant together with her daughters North and Chicago.
“Happy birthday @foodgood. Love you so much!” she wrote.

Kim followed this post up with two throwback photos of their previous matching Halloween costumes.
One, from 2017, showed the pair dressed as Sonny and Cher for a Casamigos party.
“The best Halloween partner ever,” wrote Kim.
Another showed the two besties dressed as Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee the following year.

FRIEND OR FOE?
Kim’s post might put to bed previous rumors of a feud between her and Jonathan.
Fans were previously left wondering if the two friends were now on bad terms as Jonathan seemed to be absent from Kim’s life.
While the former publicist was known for his appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, he is yet to turn up on the family’s new Hulu reality show.
Likewise, Jonathan has been missing from a number of major events in Kim’s life.
For example, he was nowhere to be seen when she celebrated her 42nd birthday last October with an elaborate dinner surrounded by friends and family.
Similarly, Foodgod was absent from Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s wedding last May.
However, he did attend the Poosh founder’s fashion show the following September as she launched her clothing line with Boohoo.
Jonathan was also seen cozying up to Kim's younger sister Kendall Jenner at the Grand Opening of Nobu Dubai last month.
Jonathan posted a photo of himself, the model, and KarJenner associate Simon Huck on Instagram.

One possible reason for Jonathan and Kim’s loosening ties is that he spends most of his time in Miami these days, whereas she is in Los Angeles.
Jonathan is also busy traveling around the world discovering new restaurants and sharing his food experiences with his 3.9million Instagram followers.
