Steph’s KIC co-founder Laura Henshaw penned: ‘Rest in peace darling angel.’

The Bachelor star Anna Robards also offered her sympathy, adding: ‘Sorry to hear,’ followed by a love heart emoji.

Her post comes after Steph and her KIC co-founder Laura Henshaw recently opened up about an ugly feud that almost ruined their friendship.

The social media stars and best pals were enjoying a getaway with their husbands Dalton Graham and Josh Miller when they got into a heated quarrel.

Their respective husbands had to intervene at one point during the stoush to calm things down.

Laura, 30, and Steph have since dished up some behind-the-scenes details about the incident.

Opening up on their Kicpod podcast, the duo said they never came close to getting physical during their argument.

However, the business partners and friends short-changed fans on the details of the fight and what caused it.

Reviewing Laura and Steph’s discussion on their Outspoken podcast, sisters Amy, Sophie and Kate Taeuber tried to get to the bottom of the partners’ feud.

‘It just went around in circles I just felt like I was this friend listening into this conversation that I was out of the loop because they never once addressed what this fight was about,’ they said.

Amy then said she felt sympathy for the two best friends.

‘I feel for them,’ she said, before adding: ‘You say things to your family members that you wouldn’t that you never say to anybody else.

‘You forgive a family member where you may not forgive a friend.’
