Who is Malika Haqq? Evicted Celebrity Big Brother 2018 contestant and Khloe Kardashian’s best friend
MALIKA Haqq often appears in hit show Keeping Up With The Kardashians so she's no stranger to reality TV.
But just who is Khloe Kardashian's bestie and where else might you have seen her? Here's the lowdown on the Celebrity Big Brother housemate who was evicted days before the final...
Who is Malika Haqq and does she have a boyfriend?
Malika is model, actress and "professional best friend" to Khloe Kardashian.
She played a lead role in friend Omarion’s video “Speedin’in addition to several films including School For Scoundrels, ATL and Somebody Help Me 2.
She has also guest-starred on TV shows such as Strong Medicine in 2004, The Bernie Mac Show in 2005, and Las Vegas in 2007.
Before she found her own feet, she worked for Khloe as her Personal Assistant, but quit to pursue her own career.
However, Malika hasn't starred in any films since quitting as Khloe's PA.
She has, however, starred in other reality shows such as Hollywood Divas and Dash Dolls - a KUWTK spin-off.
She is also a brand ambassador for Pretty Little Thing.
Before Malika entered the CBB house, it was claimed she dumped her boyfriend after he gave her a £750,000 watch for Christmas.
She is said to have ditched rapper O.T. Genasis after he bought her the diamond timepiece as a gift.
Unconfirmed reports from the US claim Malika decided to show O.T. the door after she "caught him cheating".
The couple were first romantically linked in November.
She has since deleted all pictures of O.T. from her social media accounts.
How long have Malika and Khloe been friends?
The girls have known each other since they were 15.
Awkwardly, Malika had a crush on Khloe's brother Rob and were often seen flirting on camera during the reality show- she even modelled for his sock line Arthur George.
They never got together and Malika has since said Rob's "friendship is special."
What does Malika think about Khloe's pregnancy?
Khloe’s pregnancy was confirmed by the executive producer of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
The star is expecting her first child with boyfriend Tristan Thompson and show boss Jeffrey Jenkins confirmed the news and congratulated the happy couple publicly.
Malika said: “She’ll make an incredible mother, I promise you that.
“She’s the certified aunt. She and I are neck and neck for the role, we’re like super aunties, trust me.
“It’s like they had kids for us, we’re like fun aunts, we buy nerf guns and wrestle and things like that.”
