The caption reads: “Welcome to the 40 club. It only gets better from here.”

This past Spring, Chris posted and then deleted rare behind-the-scenes photos of Kim’s $150M private jet during a trip to Washington, D.C.
In the deleted snapshot, Chris’ followers on social media were greeted with a welcome mat when they boarded the jet.
The welcome mat was printed with the first name of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star.
Chris seemed to be wearing white sneakers as he pointed the camera downwards.
CHANGES?
Kim’s throwback photos come as fans continue to accuse Hulu star of getting plastic surgery.
In August, Fans flocked to a clip from a throwback Keeping Up with the Kardashians video to gush over Kim’s transformation over the years.
In the clip posted on a fan’s TikTok, argued with her older sister Kourtney, 43 over letting her borrow a sweater.
Although some fans enjoyed the old drama, most instead focused on “how different” Kim looks in the clip.
The user who posted the video captioned the clip: “Kim looked so good here.”
Another fan added: “She looks so different now.”
Yet a third said: “She looked healthy and beautiful.”
Another commented: “Kim is so pretty in her younger years before she started doing extra. She’s so beautiful regardless, but I think she was better before.”
“I think her natural face always looked better,” one person chimed in.
Although fans claim her face has totally transformed through the years, Kim says she’s never gotten plastic surgery.
Kim recently revealed she still gets Botox after vowing never to have it again.
The reality star first had the injections when she was 29 years old back in 2010 and swore off the procedure after having a nasty reaction to it.
But in a recent episode of The Kardashians, she slipped up and confessed that she still gets them.
She revealed her late father Rob told her not to become an attorney like him because she’d have “so many f**king wrinkles from the stress of this job.”
Kim then quipped: “Thank God for Botox.”
Although Kim claims she only has gotten Botox, fans have been noticing a few clues in Kim’s face in recent photos that make them believe otherwise.
A few snaps of the star at the gym taken over the summer were shared on an online Kardashian fan forum page.
Many fans shared they noticed “something off about Kim’s face.”
One posted: “Her face looks really different than it did a few weeks ago.”
A second added: “I’m convinced she did something to her nose.”
Earlier this summer, followers were also convinced Kim had more plastic surgery done on her face.
In paparazzi photos taken when the mom-of-four was visiting London in May, fans noticed something different about Kim’s jawline.
Fans claimed Kim’s jawline looked more defined than usual and speculated that she had either an implant or a jaw shave.
One fan shared photos of Kim’s profile online and commented: “It looks definitely stronger, I think is the combo of weight loss and some filler.”
