Kim Kardashian has a great connection with her friend Stephanie Sheppard, aka Steph Shep, who also happens to be Kardashian’s personal assistant. Turns out, being a paid BFF comes with a lot of glamorous perks.

Kim Kardashian is never caught without her glam squad close behind; this also goes for her assistant Steph Shep.

Stephanie Sheppard is known by Kardashian fans as Steph Shep. Sheppard has even gained a following of her own on social media. After all, she is the assistant of one of the most recognized people in the world.

Kim Kardashian posted a ‘Happy Birthday’ Instagram post dedicated to Steph Shep where she referred to her as “family.”

How did Stephanie Sheppard land herself such a high-profile gig?

It turns out that Stephanie was friends with Robin Antin before she met the Kardashians. She was a professional dancer and even performed at the Grammy’s with Pitbull.

Kim also had a friendship with the Pussycat Dolls founder. She even featured Robin and the Pussycat Dolls on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Through the connection, Sheppard was hired for what might be the most extravagant job in the world.

Steph Shep and Kim Kardashian have become exceptionally close ever since the reality star’s third marriage to Kanye West in 2013.

The assistant even joined in on the festivities for Kim’s legendary bachelorette party in Paris.

After all, she was there the day that Kanye West proposed to Kim.

In fact, Steph Shep has been there for Kim during a lot of sentimental moments. Paying someone to follow you around 24/7 will do that to people.

She has even taken on the hobby of taking selfies and posting them to Instagram.

“What is the socially acceptable number of selfies one can post in a day? #youresovain”

If your boss is the selfie Queen herself, Steph Shep needn’t worry about her selfie count.

While she’s following Kim around, she might as well document it. Sheppard serves as Kardashian’s personal photographer, catching shots of the reality star behind-the-scenes.

It’s not all hard work for Steph Shep, when she’s not working for Kardashian, she gets to hang out with her in her free time. It doesn’t hurt that the personal assistant gets to come along for vacations and trips with Kardashian.

Following around one of the most glamorous women in the world definitely has its perks.

Although it is not exactly sure what her personal assistant tasks include, none of which seem to be too demanding or ridiculous. Celebrities often have a rap for being rude or bossy with their assistants, but not Kim. Over time the two have become very close friends.

Stephanie came along with Kim Kardashian to one of Kanye West shows in L.A. a few weeks ago where Kim met “her idol” Sarah Jessica Parker according to the Inquisitr.

It looks like Steph Shep got to get a selfie with the Sex and the City star as well.

Steph Shep definitely had people envious of her position when she uploaded this photo to Instagram at the Life of Pablo concert.
