Small world! Jessica Simpson and Kim Kardashian’s eldest daughters are best buds.“One of Maxwell’s best friends is North,” the fashion designer, 41, exclusively told Us Weekly of her 9-year-old on Thursday, April 14, while promoting her Flonase partnership. “She is amazing.

She is a great kid, and she will be a part of a change in this world.”The actress added that her husband, Eric Johnson, coached North, 8, and Maxwell’s basketball team “just recently.”Simpson gushed that it is “fun” living in the same neighborhood as the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum, 41, and her four kids with ex-husband Kanye West: North, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 2. “That [proximity] makes it easy,” the “Take My Breath Away” singer, who is also the mother of Ace, 8, and Birdie, 3, told Us.The Open Book author noted that Kardashian and her children have stayed “the same” while growing up on reality TV.“I’m like, ‘I don’t know how y’all could do this all the time,’” the Texas native said. “I could only last three seasons [on Newlyweds], but they’re so open and they’ve always remained the same. … That’s really hard to do, and they’re powerhouses.”Simpson and Nick Lachey appeared on Newlyweds from 2003 to 2005.

She explained to Us that filming a reality show is now “easier” than it was when she and her ex-husband, 48, starred on their MTV series.“It was one of the first, and so it was [cameras] following me all day long from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to sleep unless I kicked them out, but I always felt bad,” the Dukes of Hazzard star said. “I don’t think that reality shows are set up like that nowadays.
