KIM Kardashian and Jessica Simpson have struck up an unlikely friendship.

According to a new report, the pair have bonded over their new babies and post-pregnancy paunches.

Sources say Kim — who recently welcomed daughter North West with beau Kanye West — turned to Jessica for advice early on in her pregnancy when she realized she was quickly packing on pounds.

“Kim reached out to Jessica toward the end of her first tri­mester, just as her weight was exploding,” a source said.

“Kim sympathized with Jess over all the nasty comments about how huge she got when she was pregnant with Maxie, and Kim thought Jess could help her avoid the same pitfalls.

“Before long, they were talking on the phone several times a day, sharing their tales of woe about their bodily aches and pains, hormonal surges and about how their men were adapting.

“Jessica knows what it’s like to get slammed over weight gains.

“She’s been counseling Kim to ignore the negativity and just focus on her precious baby.”
