But when they finally did meet? “We walked in and saw each other and ran up and gave each other the biggest hugs,” Kendall added. “And it was like we’d known each other forever.”
And for Rikki, who was raised as an only child, she said it was an especially moving encounter: “It was a lot like a puzzle piece sliding into place.”
These days the sisters, now 32, live only minutes away from each other in Austin, Texas, and are only growing closer. In fact, they even host a podcast together which they’ve playfully titled, Luke, Who Is Your Father.
And they’re grateful for the bond they’ve developed as a trio, with an emotional Julianne noting, “They are just the most important people to me.”
As Kendall put it: “Being able to cultivate this really unique relationship has just been the best thing we all could have done.”
