Kim Kardashian has no issues with Jonathan Cheban, her pal of almost 20 years, she said on Wednesday.
When appearing on her sister’s podcast Khloe in Wonder Land, the raven-haired star she said she loves FoodGod, a name he goes by as he reviews restaurants.
‘I love Jonathan. We should call him,’ said the 45-year-old SKIMS founder. ‘Jonathan and I are good. Here’s the thing, I had kids,’ she said.
The star shares kids North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6, with ex-husband Kanye West.
‘It’s really hard to maintain friendships when you have kids and you’re like in it,’ said the reality TV icon.

She continued: ‘Jonathan is not going to come and sit around Calabasas all day. He’s like always on the move.’
Khloé, 41, then said: ‘Especially when someone else doesn’t have kids. It’s not like you can do play dates with your kids. I get that — and we love Jonathan. There’s so much history there.’
Cheban said in March: ‘People post me in things and people say that Kim and I aren’t friends anymore and it’s so funny to watch this stuff ’cause we are friends and we talk all the time,’ he told Us Weekly.
‘I see all these things that pop up and that’s how I know if I’m on [episodes of The Kardashians] or not.’
Cheban said he and Kim are ‘absolutely’ still close even if they keep their bond out of the public eye. ‘We’re going to be friends forever — and it’s fun,’ he said.Â
‘I mean, she’s got so many kids and so many things to do and I’m all the way on this coast, so it’s like, yeah, we don’t see each other as much, but we talk all the time and anything happens that I feel like we should discuss, we just send it right away.’

Cheban grew up in Fort Lee, New Jersey and attended Fort Lee High School before graduating from Hofstra University with a communications degree in 1995.
After graduation, Cheban began working for publicist Peggy Siegal at her firm in New York.
But then Cheban left Siegal and formed his own public-relations firm with two other publicists. He left that company in 2001, and went on to found his own firm, CommandPR.
Then he popped up in Keeping Up with the Kardashians, appearing as a friend of the Kardashian sisters.
He subsequently appeared in several episodes of the show’s spin-offs, Kourtney and Kim Take New York, Kourtney and Kim Take Miami and Kourtney and Khloé Take The Hamptons.
In 2010, Cheban starred in his own reality show, The Spin Crowd, chronicling the lives of Cheban, Simon Huck and their employees at his firm.
In January 2016, Cheban entered the Celebrity Big Brother 17 house in the U.K., to compete as a housemate on its 17th season.Â
