But Woods and Jenner may be reviving their friendship. Earlier this month, the two 25-year-olds were snapped going out for sushi together, leaving fans wondering about a potential reconciliation. Then, this week, Jenner sent fans into a frenzy by liking Woods’ Instagram post.

Here’s how Jordyn Woods got in with, got booted from, and is now back (kind of) with reality TV royalty.

Kardashians’ inner circle

For nearly a decade, Woods was at all the big Kardashian events: weddings, family dinners, big launches and private parties. She was considered a part of the family and as her role in the Kardashian inner circle grew, so did her friendship with Jenner.

From matching tattoos to having a traditional friendship commitment ceremony in Peru, Jenner and Woods were inseparable. Speaking about her best friend on Life of Kylie, Jenner said she wanted Woods to have all the success in the world and had committed to being there for her to achieve her dreams.

The pair even started living together, which Jenner confirmed in an interview with Vogue. That spawned the idea to work as business partners. People reported that they teamed up to launch a collection for Kylie Cosmetics.

Essentially, they were linked in every way possible – until the unthinkable happened after an unfortunate boozy night.

The ugly split

According to People, Woods then moved out of Jenner’s home. Kardashian called her a home-wrecker on Twitter and Woods found herself the target of online hate. At her darkest moment, she was finally ousted by the family that had always had her back.

In an interview on Jada’s Facebook talk show Red Table Talk, Woods finally spoke out about the incident. She admitted it was a bad idea to stay at Thompson’s house until “six in the morning”, but denied that she and Thompson had slept together, saying she’s “no homewrecker”. Thompson, meanwhile, said that he kissed her – specifically sans tongue – as she was leaving.

Regardless, the kiss ended the relationship between Thompson and Kardashian. Kardashian also called Woods out on Twitter for publicly commenting on what had happened without coming to her in private first.

What these celebrity couples would look like if they never split

Despite publicly slamming Woods, in December that year, Kardashian added that she didn’t have negative or hateful feelings towards anyone involved. She tweeted “life is short” and that everyone is simply trying to navigate their way through life. Her statement came soon after she was shown being kind to Thompson on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which was filmed not long since the cheating scandal occurred.

However, she was criticised for not showing the same empathy to Woods, per People. Kardashian defended herself by posting on her Instagram Stories, saying she is “allowed to feel hurt” but “craves peace” and that’s why she has let go of certain hateful feelings.

A year after the incident, Woods opened up on YouTube series Now with Natalie about what she had gone through. She confessed that she was in a “dark place” and felt she had “no one”.

The reunion

Although they were publicly spotted together in July for the first time since their falling out in 2019, the former besties have actually been working on their relationship for about a year, per People. The same source reports that Woods reached out to Jenner to apologise for everything that happened.

Woods has clearly experienced plenty of personal growth after her split with the Kardashians, navigating life for herself without the influence and power she previously had. And she’s kept busy, too.

Woods has launched fashion collections with PrettyLittleThing and Boohoo. She’s had more time to work on her fitness and well-being app, Frstplace. In 2020, she appeared as Kangaroo on The Masked Singer. Her vocal skills grabbed the attention of many, who commented on how she is clearly talented despite having no vocal training.

The reunion has brought fans joy, but we’re looking forwards not to a rehash of their previous friendship, but a whole new chapter where Woods is her own person, not just an honorary Kardashian.
