Kylie Jenner reflects on heartbreak after Jordyn Woods fallout: 'It was needed distance'

Kylie Jenner opens up about her friendship fallout with Jordyn Woods, saying it was a painful but necessary experience

Kylie Jenner recently spoke to Elle magazine about her strained friendship with Jordyn Woods, reflecting on their emotional fallout in 2019.

The Kylie Cosmetics founder, 27, revealed she was "heartbroken" after the infamous incident where Woods kissed Jenner’s sister Khloé Kardashian’s then-boyfriend, Tristan Thompson. Jenner shared that although their bond was deeply affected, it wasn’t a complete cutoff but rather "needed distance."

In the interview for the November issue, Jenner discussed how the separation helped her grow. "I learned so much, gained independence, and was there for myself," she said. Jenner emphasized that both she and Woods needed space to evolve individually.

Their friendship became a topic of conversation again in 2023 when they were seen hanging out publicly, but Jenner noted that the media attention quickly died down. "What I do love now is that the narrative about us online is over. People know we’re cool, and no one’s talking about it anymore," she added.

The pair most recently had a viral moment on TikTok in September 2024, alongside model Stassie Karanikolaou, as they playfully referenced The Kardashians in a lighthearted video.
