Model Hailey Baldwin has revealed that she used to spend nights sleeping over at Kim Kardashian’s apartment, before she found fame herself. The 18-year-old daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin, who stars in a new shoot for the May issue of Elle magazine and is known for her close friendship with fellow fashion star Kendall Jenner, let slip very discreetly in an interview with Elle magazine that she often spent nights with ‘one of her friends’ – meaning Kendall – in their ‘sister’s apartment’ – meaning Kim’s multi-million-dollar residence, while she was traveling to castings in New York at the start of her career. 'I would basically pack a suitcase from home and just come live with her for a week,' she said. Scroll down for video .
