Sophie Kasaei says her friendship with Charlotte Crosby and Holly Hagan is still as strong as ever, even if the days of seeing each other every weekend are long gone. The reality star said the trio speak almost every other day and remain close after first meeting on Geordie Shore in 2011.
“Me and the girls will always be close,” Kasaei said during a recent Instagram Q&A, making clear that the bond has survived far beyond their early TV days. “We might not see each other… you’ve got to remember we are 30/mid-30s, we all live in different parts of the country. We’ve got kids, people have got lives, people have got jobs. We’re not going to be 20-years-old and see each other every single weekend.”
The comments matter because fans have long wondered whether the friendship group that formed on the very first series of Geordie Shore in 2011 was still intact after 15 years. Kasaei’s answer was not cautious or diplomatic. It was emphatic. “We speak practically every other day,” she said. “Me, Holly and Charlotte speak all the time and we’re always there for each other. We are always going to be close and sisters – we’ve had so many memories together and we’re so excited for the next chapter.”
The friendship has lasted through reality TV fame, relationship drama, motherhood and the practical distance that comes with adult life. Kasaei said she lives down in Essex while Crosby lives up north in Sunderland, a split that makes constant in-person contact unrealistic. But she said that distance has not changed the way they see each other, or the way they show up when it counts.
That next chapter is also personal for Kasaei. She is expecting her first baby with Jordan Brook and has said she is due to welcome a baby boy later this year. She has also launched a new podcast, Shall We?, with Hagan, which keeps the long-running friendship group in the public eye even as their lives move in different directions.
The friction in stories like this is usually whether the bond can survive the years. Here, Kasaei has answered that directly. The answer is yes. Not because they still live the same lives they did in 2011, but because they do not need to. They are older now, spread across the country and raising children of their own, but in Kasaei’s telling, that has not weakened the friendship. It has made it more realistic, and more enduring.
