Kylie Jenner & BFF Jordyn Woods Reunite 4 Years After Tristan Thompson Drama
Kylie Jenner and Jordyn Woods’ friendship might on the mend.
The women, both 25, fell out in a big way when Woods was caught up in a scandal with the father of Kylie's sister Khloé Kardashian's baby, Tristan Thompson, back in 2019.
The former best friends, however, were spotted together over the weekend for the first time in more than four years.
DailyMail.com posted photos of Kylie and Jordyn out to dinner with friends at an L.A. sushi spot.
Kylie wore a black-and-white, one-shoulder crop top and black pants, while Jordyn showed off her curves in a red, orange, and purple dress from her collection Woods by Jordyn.

While Jordyn posted photos of herself showing the dress on Instagram, neither of the women documented the reunion on social media.
A source tells Us Weekly, “Kylie was the one to reach out to Jordyn. She missed her and felt enough time had passed and they wanted to meet up.”
The insider claims that Khloé gave "permission" for Jenner to reconnect, explaining, “Khloé is all about forgiveness and moving forward, so Khloé is OK with Kylie seeing [Jordyn]."
Another source added, “It’s a work in progress and they’re taking it slow."
After the sighting, Khloé shared some inspirational quotes on Instagram Stories.
One said, “It takes grace to remain kind in cruel situations.”
Another read, “Never blame anyone in your life. The good people give you happiness. The bad people give you experience. The worst people give you a lesson. The best people give you memories.”
A third explained, “It’s easy to judge. It’s more difficult to understand… Through judging, we separate. Through understanding, we grow.”
In February 2019, rumors swirled that Woods hooked up with Thompson, and she addressed the drama on Jada Pinkett Smith's Facebook show “Red Table Talk.”
Woods revealed that she and some of her gal pals went to Tristan's home to continue the party after hanging out at a bar and nightclub. She admitted that her first mistake was not thinking, “I shouldn't be here,” and not taking into consideration how Khloé would feel if she knew she were there. She added, “I should have gone home after the party. I shouldn't have been there.”
She also shut down rumors, saying, “Never once was I giving him a lap dance, making out with him, sitting all over him… never once did we leave the public area, go to a bedroom, go to a bathroom — we're all in plain sight.”
Jordyn Woods Goes Into Detail About What Happened with Tristan Thompson, Plus: Khloé’s Biting Words
View StoryJordyn insisted, there was “never anything intimate.” Woods continued, “He didn't try to take me to a room… it was just an innocent time.”
The 21-year-old said she takes “full responsibility” for not “thinking right.” While she was at Tristan's house until the wee hours of the morning, Jordyn argued “there was always someone there while I was there… even up until the moment I left.”
Jordyn noted that it's been a “tricky” situation, since she doesn't want to point fingers, acknowledging, “I allowed myself to be in that position. I allowed myself to be there.”
She insisted, “I was never belligerently drunk, where I can't remember what happened… I was never blackouted... There was alcohol involved. I was drunk, but I was not beyond the point of recollection.”
Woods claimed that as she was leaving, Tristan kissed her. She said, “It was a kiss on the lips, but no tongue-kiss, no making out… I don't think he's wrong, either, because I allowed myself to be in that position.” She added, “When alcohol's involved, people make dumb moves, people get caught up in the moment.”
After she went home, Woods told Kylie Jenner and Khloé that she was at Tristan's home, but admitted, “I wasn't honest about the actions that had taken place.”
Of her decision to not tell Khloé, Jordyn said, "I just knew how much turmoil was going on." She described thinking, "Let me not throw more fuel on the fire."
Woods, who teared up while discussing Khloé, emphasized, “I'm no home-wrecker. I would never try to hurt someone's home, especially someone that I love… I would never try to steal someone's man.”
Did she apologize to Khloé? She said, “I did, as much apologizing as I could do over the phone, over text.”
After the episode was released, Khloé called out Jordyn, tweeting, “Why are you lying @jordynwoods ?? If you're going to try and save yourself by going public, INSTEAD OF CALLING ME PRIVATELY TO APOLOGIZE FIRST, at least be HONEST about your story. BTW, You ARE the reason my family broke up!”
Khloé did follow up with another tweet that said, “What’s been harder & more painful is being hurt by someone so close to me. Someone whom I love & treat like a little sister. But Jordyn is not to be blamed for the breakup of my family. This was Tristan’s fault.”
Kardashian and Thompson have continued to have an on again off again relationship since then, and are now co-parenting their two children True, 5, and Tatum, who turns 1 next month.
It was revealed that after they decided to have another child together via surrogate in November 2021, Khloé found out he was having a child with a woman named Maralee Nichols. Tristan publicly apologized to Khloé, but they have not reconciled as a couple since then.
