Early Years

Stassie (also known as “Stas” or “Stassie Baby”) was born Anastasia Karanikolaou, on June 9, 1997, in California. She is of Greek descent.

Her father, Periklis Nikolaos Karanikolaou, is a ‘World Financial Group’ broker. It is believed Nicolette Karanikolaou, the woman she often posts photos with, on social media, is her stepmother. She has a sister named Alexia, who is a hairdresser and often appears in Stassie’s ‘Instagram’ posts. Not much is known about Stassie’s biological mother.

Friendship with Kylie Jenner

It is believed Stassie Karanikolaou and Kylie Jenner of the famous Kardashian family met at the bookstore ‘Barnes and Nobles,’ while Stassie attended a fan meet that featured Kylie.

However, it is also known that they have been childhood friends and have known each other since the tender age of 11. They have also attended the same school together. However, they became BFFs only later.

Stassie Karanikolaou later moved into a shared house with Kylie and a third close friend, Jordyn Woods. However, Jordyn was later ousted from the house and the group, since she had been involved in a fling with Khloe Kardashian’s boyfriend. Thus, even Stassie stopped interacting with Jordyn and has not posted any photo with her since October 2018.

Stassie now sports a tattoo that reads “Stormi,” the name of Kylie’s daughter. She apparently got the tattoo done to match it with a similar one that Kylie got tattooed on her arm. She even drives Kylie’s orange ‘Lamborghini’ at times.

One of Stassie’s breasts was almost a full cup size larger than the other one, which made it difficult for her to find bras that fit. This made her opt for her first breast augmentation.
