Kylie Jenner has had a string of BFFs throughout the years. There's the now-estranged Jordyn Woods, ex-personal assistant Victoria Villaroel, makeup artist Ariel Tejada, close friend Harry Hudson, and her current main bestie Stassie Karanikolaou. But before building her empire and pre-lip fillers, Kylie had Pia Mia Perez, most commonly known as Pia Mia. In 2013, a 16-year-old Kylie introduced 17-year-old Pia to her fans via Snapchat and Instagram. They had a typical teenage friendship, minus the glam and cameras.
They first bonded at a slumber party where Kylie had apparently asked Pia to "sing her to sleep." An aspiring singer at that time, Pia said she would always sing Kylie to sleep during sleepovers. She said it was "nice to be around" the Keeping Up With the Kardashian star because she encouraged her to sing. But the pair seemed to have drifted apart in 2017 — a huge year for the reality TV star whose brand, Kylie Cosmetics was taking off like crazy. Fans were left wondering what happened to Pia Mia, her "sidekick."
Why Did Kylie Jenner Stop Hanging Out With Pia Mia?
In 2017, before officially disappearing from each other's social media accounts, Kylie and Pia were reportedly feuding after the latter's 2015 hit song, Do It Again featuring Chris Brown and the makeup mogul's then-boyfriend Tyga, went up the charts. However, the two were spotted again, probably for the last time. At one point, during Pia's early rise to fame as a singer, there were also rumors that she was Kanye West's "other woman."
The now-24-year-old denied the claims. The Kardashian-Jenner clan also never entertained the issue. West's then-wife Kim Kardashian even filmed Pia singing Drake's Passionfruit at the family dinner table with the Yeezy founder and Drake himself. Kylie never confirmed any falling out between her and Pia either. It just seems like the two have grown apart. The former moved on to juggling multiple business ventures and motherhood while the latter focused on making a name for herself through music.
Where Is Pia Mia Now?
The Guam-born singer also dominated 2017 — she released her EP, The Gift 2, and left Interscope Records and Wolfpack entertainment, citing the lack of creative freedom under the labels. Later that year, she founded her own record label, Cherry Pie records. She also made her acting debut in 2019 in the film After. She sang its theme song, Bitter Love. She released more singles that year under her independent label.
In September 2020, Pia joined OnlyFans. Now an influencer in her own right, she's the eighth highest earner in the content subscription app, making $2.22 million a month for posting lingerie selfies and other "provocative images." The same year, she also signed a record deal with Electric Fell Entertainment and Republic Records. She left the next year after releasing a few singles which included a collaboration with dancehall artist, Sean Paul.
Pia was seen getting cozy with 26-year-old baseball player for the New York Yankees, Tyler Wade, in December 2020. They were having a nice picnic date at a park in Los Angeles wearing coordinated Nike outfits. There haven't been new updates about their relationship. But Pia has always managed to keep her dating life away from the media. In 2014, she dated music producer Nic Nac or Nicholas Balding. It was a lowkey affair that lasted until 2016.
What's Kylie Jenner And Pia Mia's Relationship Like Today?
The singer has repeatedly clarified that she and Kylie are still on good terms. In 2019, she said that their friendship hasn't changed despite not having been seen in public in the last few years. "Well, I always remember, you know, Kylie saying she always wanted to be a mom and she really felt like that's what she was meant to do in life," Pia said. "So, I feel like it really didn't change. Like, Kylie is so mothering and she's just such a sweet, loving person in general and I just think that now it's just more, maybe."
Pia also attended Stormi's extravagant first birthday celebration. "Stormi is so cute. I saw her for her first birthday and they did the whole carnival Astro storm. It was amazing. She's the sweetest thing ever," she gushed. "I got her a little — I always go to sleep with a star projector. When I fall asleep, it lights up my room and it makes it look like there's stars and so I got her the same thing. Because I thought she would like to fall asleep with the stars too." How time flies. Pia has turned into a cool aunt while Kylie is possibly welcoming a second child.
