Kylie Jenner and Jordyn Woods met when they were in eighth grade through their mutual friend Jaden Smith.
“One day I got a phone call from one of my friends and they were like, ‘Yeah, come over to Kylie’s house. We all wanna hang out,'” Jordyn explained in a Buzzfeed interview.
Kylie continued telling their middle school meet-cute story, saying, “And she put her name in my phone and we just got closer and closer throughout the years and realized all we need is each other. Now we are our only friends!”
While Kylie was a cast member on one of TV’s most popular reality shows from the age of 10, the duo acted just like any other teenagers would.
“We used to Segway everywhere,” Kylie revealed. “I mean everywhere when we didn’t have our license. Like we would Segway outside the community to, like, miles and miles to the mall.”
Jordyn soon became an unofficial member of the Kardashian-Jenner family and part of their trusted inner circle, even landing invites to events such as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s 2014 wedding and Khloe Kardashian’s 2019 baby shower.

The pair’s bond was so solid that the pair held a commitment ceremony during their tripe to Peru that aired on E!’s Life of Kylie.
The purpose of the event, Kylie explained, was to demonstrate that their connection extended far beyond friendship.
“I want people to know we’re more than that,” she noted. “She’s my girlfriend. I care for her like I care for my girlfriend.”
During their ceremony, Jordyn vowed “to always be there” for Kylie, “through thick and thin.” In turn, Kylie pledged “to encourage you, inspire you, love you, through all the good and bad times.”

When Kylie landed her own spinoff, she immediately asked Jordyn to film with her. But the model was hesitant to step in front of the cameras for Life of Kylie.
“I didn’t want to do the show at first,” Jordyn told Refinery29 at the time. “But Kylie and I are a big part of each other’s lives, so if it’s about her life, I’m a key player, so I’m not gonna just not come around. I figured, being with her all the time is already my life, so we might as well do it.
While the experienced “turned out to be really fun,” Woods did admit on Life With Kylie that her friendship with the star could sometimes be “draining.”
“I actually feel like I’m in a full relationship with Kylie,” she explained. “There are different types of relationships—we’re definitely in one. Not necessarily sexual, but definitely emotional. It’s draining sometimes. I don’t want to say she’s a needy girlfriend but…”

Kylie threw Jordyn not one, but two lavish 21st birthday celebrations, hosted in Miami and Los Angeles.
And the pair officially teamed up for the Jordyn Woods x Kylie Cosmetics makeup collaboration, with Jenner calling the partnership “special” in a social media tribute to her bestie.
“jordyn and i have had a true unmatchable relationship and i consider her family,” she wrote on Instagram. “she’s helped me remain ME throughout all these years and this is the first time we have collaborated on such a project! it has been so much fun and I’ll cherish the memories forever!”

During the Keeping Up with the Kardashians reunion, Kylie reflected on the unexpected ending of her longtime relationship with Woods.
“When we were friends, we never thought that we wouldn’t be friends,” she explained. “It was kind of an overnight thing.”
But during the special, Khloe encouraged her younger sister to bury the hatchet with Jordyn. “I don’t care enough to ever hurt my sister,” she explained.

The pair reunited for another TikTok video with mutual friend Stassie Karanikolaou, parodying a 2023 Kardashians promo.
