Kylie Jenner just shed some light on where she stands with Jordyn Woods, and how the cheating scandal impacted their friendship.
Kylie and Jordyn first met as teenagers after being introduced to each other by their mutual friend Jaden Smith. They became inseparable ever since.
After being named Stormi's godmother, Jordyn even moved in with Kylie in 2018 to help her adjust to motherhood.

But, in case you forgot, in February 2019, rumors began swirling around that Khloé Kardashian's ex, Tristan Thompson, cheated on her with Jordyn at a house party. While this wasn't the first time the basketball player was unfaithful to Khloé, this particular infidelity claim hit a little harder because it involved a close friend of the family — Kylie's best friend.
This scandal prompted Jordyn to speak out on the cheating allegations on Red Table Talk, so she could share her side of the story. Although showing sympathy for Khloé and the entire situation, Jordyn said she's "not the reason" Khloé and Tristan's relationship ended.
“She doesn’t deserve this, either,” Jordyn said of Khloé. “The last thing I wanted to do was be that person. I’m no home-wrecker. I would never try to hurt someone’s home, especially someone that I love.”
Many members from the Kardashian-Jenner family began sharing their opinions on the situation, but Kylie remained silent about it for a long time. Kylie was actually the last of the sisters to unfollow Jordyn on Instagram and later, in 2021, she confirmed the demise of their friendship was an "overnight thing."
Jordyn and Kylie weren't seen together in years, but all of that changed when the two were spotted on an LA sushi date in July. They were later seen during Paris Fashion Week, shopping in the French capital.
The cosmetics mogul dropped even more hints that the two were very much still friends after she was interviewed by Keeping Up with the Kardashians superfan Jennifer Lawrence for Interview magazine.
“Jordyn and I, we always stayed in touch throughout the years, and we would meet up at my house and catch up and just talk through everything.”
“We never fully cut each other off, and one day, naturally, we were like, we want to get sushi, and we don’t want to hide anymore.”
In the clip, Kylie is sandwiched in the middle between her two friends. They matched each other, wearing all black, as they giggled and threw their arms around one another.
Well, in a recent interview with Elle, Kylie gave fans a little more insight into what it was like when she and Jordyn first began distancing themselves and how it helped and hurt her.
“I was heartbroken," Kylie told Elle. "We’ve always tried to talk through things, so it’s never been a full cold-turkey cutoff; it was needed distance."
"Anytime something happened, good or bad, and I needed to call someone, it would always be her. To lose that person felt really lonely, but I had to go through that. I learned so much, gained so much independence, and was there for myself."
"It helped me grow up a little bit, because we were so attached at the hip. I think that in order for us both to grow, she needed to spread her wings and do what she needed to do as well.”
I, for one, am glad the ladies were able to take time apart to grow individually, while still making their way back to each other to nurture their friendship.
