Keeping UpIf you think there's nothing more interesting than what each of the Kardashians (and Jenners) are doing, thinking, or saying at any given moment, these lists are for you.
The Jordyn Woods and Kylie Jenner friendship has survived almost a decade of high-profile reality television shows, joint makeup ventures, and the birth of Jenner's baby, Stormi. The pair have been inseparable friends since they were adolescents, eventually living together, vacationing together, and showing up regularly in one another's Instagram posts. Woods was one of the few people who knew Kylie was pregnant with baby Stormi.
But in February 2019, a scandal broke involving Woods and professional basketball player Tristan Thompson, who was in a relationship with Jenner's sister Khloe Kardashian at the time. Kardashian blamed Woods for "being the reason my family broke up," and the situation supposedly left Jenner reeling from the betrayal. In the fallout of the cheating scandal, fans tried to figure out if Jenner and Woods's friendship was salvageable, or if Woods would join the list of those lost to the so-called Kardashian Kurse.

Meanwhile, Jenner met Jaden Smith in middle school.

Meanwhile, Woods launched her size-inclusive fashion line, and Jenner was there to support her at the launch party.
I never want to just be known as someone's friend... I want to have my own lane and do my own thing... I wouldn't change anything for the world, but I do think it's my time to just do me and not live in someone's shadow... I just want to be successful in whatever it is I decide to do.
