They have gone on to share in each other’s personal milestones, like weddings and babies. It’s basically ultimate #SquadGoals.

Blake and Amber spent New Year’s together and FaceTimed America. Blake captioned the photo, “This year has taught us a lot. But it’s reminded us to practice something we’ve always known… ‘Love your pals. Love yourself’.”
When America regrammed the photo she wrote, “Together for the new year come hell or highwater. #HermanasdelosPantalones #facetime #2017 #missingAlexis.”
