Oh, you’ve heard them. The whispers. “They’re not actually close.” “It’s all for the ‘gram.” Let’s be honest, every influencer friendship gets that label. It’s the curse of a public life.
But look at the evidence. They don’t just repost each other’s stories for clout. They leave actual comments. They talk about each other in interviews. Stacey once called Mrs Hinch a “dream friend.” You don’t say that about a brand deal.
And here’s the kicker: they don’t force it. If they were faking it, they’d be having awkward dinners together every week. Instead, they just pop up in each other’s lives. It’s a low-pressure, high-respect vibe. That’s actually healthier than forced BFF status.
The Funny Part: They’re Both a Little Weird (In the Best Way)
Let’s be honest. Mrs Hinch talks to her dustpan. Stacey talks to her chickens. They both have a weird obsession with shelf lining. It’s a special kind of sisterhood. A sisterhood of the travelling squeegee.
They get each other’s quirks. When Stacey reveals a new way to store plastic bags, Mrs Hinch is actually thrilled. That’s not acting. That’s a person who understands the profound joy of a labelled basket. It’s beautiful.

So, are they besties? Maybe not in the school-girl, non-stop texting sense. But they are allies. They are industry peers who genuinely admire each other. In a world of fake influencer love, that’s rare.
