A few scandals have rocked the Kardashian/Jenner family. The very first one that comes to mind is Kim Kardashian’s sex tape which was allegedly leaked by her ex, Ray J. There was also Kim’s wedding to NBA player Kris Humphries, which lasted a mere 72 days. And, the family has been blasted for altering their photos to have slimmer physiques.
Fans also cannot forget the many cheating scandals that have sadly plagued Khloé Kardashian. After entering into a relationship with basketball player, Tristan Thompson in 2016, he cheated on her just days before she went into labor with their daughter, True, in 2018. Although they had repaired their relationship, Tristan cheated yet again, which saw Kylie Jenner’s best friend, Jordyn Woods, caught in the middle of it all.
A Look Back At The Infamous Cheating Scandal That Ended Kylie Jenner And Jordyn Woods’ Friendship
If there was a photo in the dictionary for the word inseparable, it would probably have been a photo of reality TV stars Kylie Jenner and Jordyn Woods. The two had been friends since 2012, after being introduced by mutual friend, Jaden Smith, in 2012. Thereafter, the two supported one another in their business ventures, with Jordyn attending Kylie’s lip kit launch in 2015, and Kylie being there for her BFF for her clothing line with Boohoo the following year. Kylie and Jordyn even made their friendship permanent when they got matching tattoos.

In 2017, Kylie had her own E! show, Life of Kylie, which featured Kylie and her close group of friends, including Jordyn. In one episode, Kylie and Jordyn take a trip to Peru and participate in a commitment ceremony, showcasing their strong bond. As People looked back on the episode, Jenner states:
“It’s like a marriage for friends. I want people to know that we’re more than that. She’s my girlfriend. I care for her like I care for my girlfriend … Jordyn is my ride or die. Vice versa. We might not always be together, but we will always be connected in the mountains of Peru.”
According to People, the women continued to create an even stronger bond when Kylie shared that Jordyn was living with her for a time in 2018. In addition, Kylie launched a makeup collaboration with Jordyn for her makeup line.
In February 2019, TMZ broke the news that NBA player Tristan Thompson cheated on the mother of his daughter, Khloe Kardashian, for a second time. Tristan was at a house party when a video shockingly showed Jordyn making out with Tristan while her friend was overtly sexual towards him. As People reported, when the news hit the internet, Tristan called it “Fake news,” but the video didn’t lie.
Jordyn would explain herself and her actions on Red Table Talk the following month. She told host Jada Pinkett Smith what she did was wrong, but blamed alcohol for her and Tristan making bad decisions. As Business Insider reported, after her interview, Khloé blasted Jordyn on Twitter/X, admitting that she had broken up her family. Khloe later backtracked her comments and put the blame all on Tristan. Each and every Kardashain/Jenner family member then unfollowed Woods on social media, including her BFF, Kylie.
In Keeping Up With the Kardashian’s Season 16, Kylie addresses her friendship with Jordyn coming to an end following the cheating scandal. As People reported, Jenner sided with Khloe in the aftermath of the scandal. Speaking for the first time about her best friend’s actions, Kylie shared, “She f***** up.”
During the KUWTK reunion in 2021, Khloé spoke about the scandal with host Andy Cohen. She shared that she was no longer upset with Jordyn.
“I forgive Jordyn or else I would be a prisoner in my life.”
Kylie And Jordyn Shock Fans With TikTok Reunion
In July 2023, Kylie and Jordyn were photographed together for the first time since the cheating scandal. The two were seen leaving a restaurant together in Los Angeles. It appeared that the former friends were trying to rebuild their relationship.
However, fans wouldn’t see them together until the following year. In September, Kylie and Jordyn surprised their fans when they collaborated for a TikTok. In the clip, Kylie is seen mouthing words spoken by her big sister, Kim, from their show, The Kardashians, which was extremely fitting: “Okay guys, we’re back.” Jordyn is then seen mouthing, “Did you miss us?” Kylie’s best friend, Stassi Karanikolaou, is also in the video, and ends it with, “‘Cause we missed you.” All three women were also matching in black outfits.
Their reunion comes more than five years since Jordyn’s cheating scandal that saw her pretty much ex-communicated from the Kardashian/Jenner family. Kylie has not spoken out about how she rebuilt her friendship with Jordyn, but it looks like the saying, “time heals all wounds,” worked for this friendship.
There’s no word if Khloé has mended her friendship with Jordyn, but it can be assumed that it might take a lot more time for the reality TV star to accept Jordyn back in her life.
