Stassie Karanikolaou

Anastasia Karanikolaou, widely recognized as Stassie Baby, is a renowned social media influencer, model, and emerging boxer. Much of her fame stems from her close friendship with Kylie Jenner. Their enduring bond has lasted over a decade, positioning Stassie as a familiar face within the Kardashian-Jenner circle.

In the Season 3 finale of The Kardashians, Kylie described Stassie as her “oldest friend.” Since Kylie’s fallout with Jordyn Woods, Stassie has become a constant presence in her life and social media, frequently appearing in TikTok videos together.

Early Life

Born in Woodland Hills, California, Anastasia was raised alongside her sister, Alexia. Her father, Periklis Karanikolaou, took over the responsibility of raising his daughters due to the challenges faced by their late mother, whose name remains private but is affectionately remembered by Stassie on social media. Tragically, her mother passed away on June 26, 2023.

Despite growing up without luxury, Stassie’s determination and resilience have defined her journey to success. Her father and extended family, including her aunt and grandmother, played vital roles in supporting her upbringing.

Stassie met Kylie Jenner in middle school, and their friendship blossomed, standing the test of time through life’s challenges.

Career Highlights

Stassie launched her career as an Instagram model and quickly gained attention, working with major brands like Alexander Wang, Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty, and Khloé Kardashian’s Good American. Her collaboration with Kylie for the Stassie x Kylie Collection further propelled her into the spotlight.

In addition to modeling, Stassie has co-founded lifestyle ventures, including Sunny Vodka and Stassie Home. She also gained media attention for attending the Victoria’s Secret Tour 23 event in New York City in September 2023.

Surprisingly, Stassie has developed a reputation as a skilled boxer, defeating opponents—both male and female—in first-round bouts using her signature punch, the “Stassie Stinger.”

Personal Life

Stassie previously dated singer-songwriter Sammy Wilkinson from 2016 to 2017. Despite their breakup, they remain friends and were spotted vacationing together in 2019. Stassie was also rumored to be involved with Nash Grier and later linked to Tyler Cameron, though the latter was never confirmed as a romantic relationship.
