Kylie Jenner recently opened up about her friendship with Jordyn Woods, shedding light on their estrangement and subsequent reconciliation. The two former best friends became distant in 2019 after a significant incident involving Tristan Thompson, Khloe Kardashian’s ex-partner, who allegedly cheated with Woods during a house party. This event not only strained Kylie and Jordyn’s relationship but also led to Woods being effectively excluded from the Kardashian-Jenner family. For years, the pair was rarely seen together in public until they rekindled their friendship in July 2024.
In an interview
In a candid interview while gracing the cover of ELLE Magazine, Kylie revealed that the fallout from their friendship deeply affected her, leaving her “heartbroken.” Despite the estrangement, she clarified that she and Woods never completely severed ties. “We’ve always tried to talk through things, so it’s never been a full cold-turkey cutoff; it was needed distance,” Kylie explained. This statement reflects the complexity of their relationship, highlighting that while there was a physical separation, emotional connections remained.
Kylie reflected on the personal growth she achieved
Kylie emphasized that Woods was still a significant part of her life during their time apart. “Anytime something happened, good or bad, and I needed to call someone, it would always be her,” she shared. This continued reliance on Woods illustrates the depth of their bond, even in the face of challenges. However, the distance proved difficult for Kylie, who admitted that “to lose that person felt really lonely.” This loneliness was a crucial experience for her; she noted that it forced her to grow and develop a sense of independence.
Through this process of separation, Kylie reflected on the personal growth she achieved. “I learned so much, gained so much independence, and was there for myself,” she remarked, acknowledging that the experience helped her mature. The phrase “attached at the hip” illustrates how intertwined their lives had been prior to the fallout, making the separation even more challenging for her.
Ultimately, Kylie recognized that both she and Jordyn needed the time apart to grow individually. She concluded, “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.” This acknowledgment speaks to a broader understanding of friendship and personal growth, suggesting that sometimes distance is necessary for individuals to evolve and flourish independently.
Kylie’s reflections on her relationship with Jordyn provide insight into the emotional complexities of friendships, particularly in the public eye. As they navigate their renewed connection, both women appear to be focusing on personal development while cherishing the bond they share.
