Kim Kardashian and Jonathan Cheban were inseparable for years, with Jonathan, a publicist-turned-reality star, often seen as Kim’s closest confidant. However, recent events, fan theories, and social media chatter suggest that their friendship has cooled. The once-dynamic duo has not been spotted together in months, and the reasons behind their apparent split are sparking speculation.
Jonathan’s New Circles and Controversial Connections
Jonathan Cheban, now known as Foodgod, recently attended Heidi Klum’s 23rd Annual Halloween Party, rubbing shoulders with a new set of high-profile friends, including Bethenny Frankel. This is notable because Bethenny has previously criticized Kim Kardashian, raising eyebrows about Jonathan’s loyalty to his long-time best friend.
This new friendship fueled fan theories that Jonathan may have betrayed Kim’s trust. On Instagram, fans speculated that he might have leaked private information about the Kardashian family. “My friends and I have a conspiracy theory that he was always the leak. And they finally cut ties,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “He leaked everything!!! That’s why we haven’t heard anything on the Kardashians recently—they got all the rats out.”
While there is no concrete evidence to support these claims, the timing of Jonathan’s shift in social circles has led many to believe that a fallout between him and Kim is at play.
A Pattern of Broken Friendships
Kim Kardashian’s friendship history suggests she’s no stranger to cutting ties. Fans have drawn parallels between her fallout with Jonathan and her public split from Larsa Pippen, a former close friend and cast member of “The Real Housewives of Miami.”

Fans noted how quickly Kim and her family unfollowed Larsa on social media, marking a clear end to their friendship. Similarly, Kim has distanced herself from former stylists and collaborators like Monica Rose and Joyce Bonelli, leaving some to speculate that Kim moves on swiftly from relationships that no longer serve her.
