The Truth About Meghan Markle And Kim Kardashian's Relationship
Meghan Markle's investment in Clevr Blends just got another celebrity supporter! According to People, reality star Kim Kardashian promoted Clevr Blends, a vegan coffee brand that sells instant oat milk lattes. The Duchess of Sussex became a private investor in the sustainable brand and the environmental advocate's friends are helping raise awareness for the coffee brand. Kardashian posted an Instagram Story on Dec. 21, 2020, spreading the word about a basket she received with Clevr Blends products. It is lovely of Kardashian to help the Duchess out, but how do they know each other?
According to InStyle, the queen of the Kardashian family and the Duchess of Sussex are connected through Chrissy Teigen. Both Teigen and Markle were "suitcase girls" on the game show Deal or No Deal together. The two then reunited in 2014 to compete as part of DirecTV's Beach Bowl. As any Keeping Up with the Kardashian fan knows, Teigen and husband John Legend are friends with Kardashian and her husband, Kanye West, making them closely connected, if not friends.
Kardashian joins former talk show host Oprah Winfrey in an effort to help Markle promote Clevr Blends. Winfrey shared a video about Clevr brands to her 19 million Instagram followers, which she captioned: "My new drink of choice for the morning and night. Wish I had @clevrblends sooner cause I would've added it to my Favorite Things list."
