Kim Kardashian‘s childhood friend, singer Nikki Lund, posed by a swimming pool on Thursday in Calabasas, California.
The beauty – who used to date rock star Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi fame – looked slender in a neon green bikini from Balenciaga as she wore her white blonde hair down and added a gold cross necklace.
The fashion designer – who has launched her eponymous fall clothing line at Nordstrom this month – told DailyMail.com exclusively that she lost 15lbs this summer by going back to her favorite workout: yoga.
She’s got abs! Kim Kardashian’s childhood friend, singer Nikki Lund, posed by a swimming pool on Thursday in Calabasas, California. The beauty – who used to date rock star Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi fame – looked slender in a neon green bikini as she wore her white blonde hair down.
The star, who attended high school with Kim and Kourtney, and is also friends with Paris Hilton, had been working out at a gym for the past few years, but did not really have the drive to work out as hard as she could.
‘I love the gym but at times you get tired of the environment, sometimes you slow down,’ she told DailyMail.com.
‘The weight crept on because I was not inspired. Then a friend told me I should do the workout I really love. And that is why I went back to yoga.’
The star loves to the Sun Salute poses by her swimming pool at her Calabasas home that she shares with her fiancé, musician Jeff Phillips, and their son Hendrix.

‘I love yoga because it’s a physical way to keep my mind in check,’ she also shared.
‘It really calms me down! And I need it because my fashion line has been selling so well at Nordstrom, I have become really busy with that.
‘Yoga really teaches me about holding on and letting go, giving and receiving,’ said the siren.
She also said she loves to design clothing because it is fun to ‘create something out of nothingness.’
The gym became a bore: The star, who attended high school with Kim and Kourtney, and is also friends with Paris Hilton, had been working out at a gym for the past few years, but did not really have the drive to work out as hard as she could. ‘I love the gym but at times you get tired of the environment, sometimes you slow down,’ she told DailyMail.com
‘It takes focus and the ability to let go. I love to explore every compartment of my soul almost as if I am discovering me all over again for the first time. A dual reality of the artists heart – the here and now and a fantasy world,’ she noted.
And she also said, ‘Everything is a balancing act, a give and take in life. And there is no judgment.’
DailyMail.com last caught up with Lund in March when she released her song Foolish from Sony Music.
Her previous hit tracks are This Is It and U & I as Sambora often served as mentor.

Nikki launched her music career in 2018 with the hit songs Love Overdose and This Is It after already establishing a well-received fashion line.
She told Better Days she was hopeful for a fresh start.
‘It was the hope for better days ahead. I think that there is a lot of positive change for women that has happened in the past year as far as the #metoo movement,’ she has said.
‘Also, it was kind of an inspirational thing where I was like, “Wow, this is really cool, kind of like better days are coming up and I can see it.”
‘It is hopeful,’ the star added.
‘There’s a lot of stuff that is going on in the world that is not so good and I was a little bit bummed about it,’ she said at the time.
‘With all of the shootings [in schools], and how politically everything is upside down, crap that’s going on that’s not cool.
‘I think we need more positivity.’
Nikki has been on the cover of YRB, Esquire, featured in the pages of ELLE, Genlux, People, US Weekly, InTouch, Life & Style, and has been spotlighted by E!, Access Hollywood, Extra, VH1, and Good Day LA.
Meanwhile, her old pal Kim was seen taking shots with her sisters at Kylie Jenner’s 25th birthday party this week.
The star did not seem to enjoy the shot and spit it out.
Kardashian seems to be doing fine after her split from boyfriend of nine months, 28-year-old SNL star Pete Davidson, who used to date Kate Beckinsale and at one time was engaged to Ariana Grande.
She has so many friends! On the left she is seen in pink with longtime pal Paris Hilton last year in West Hollywood. On the right she is pictured with ex Richie Sambora in 2014 in Los Angeles
