It was the break up that gripped the world in 2019, and the fact that the pair weren’t romantic only made the betrayal sting harder.
More than four years and many televised tears later, however, former best friends and housemates Kylie Jenner and Jordyn Woods have seemingly reunited, with the duo being snapped by together in public by paparazzi over the weekend.
But sources say their restaurant outing on Saturday in Los Angeles is not something that came easy for the pair.

“Jordyn reached out to Kylie to apologise for how everything went down and let her know that she loves her,” an insider told People after the duo’s public reunion.
This is in reference to Jenner, 25, and the 25-year-old Heir Jordyn founder’s messy public falling out, which also involved Jenner’s sister Khloé Kardashian, 39, and Kardashian’s on-off partner Tristan Thompson, 32.
Another source claimed to the outlet Jenner and Woods had been working on their friendship for the past year, and Saturday’s outing wasn’t the first time they had hung out – it was just the first time they’d done so in front of the cameras since their split.
Insiders say there’s no longer any bad blood between Jenner and Woods, nor is there any between Kardashian – who shares five-year-old daughter True and 11-month-old son Tatum with Thompson – and Woods, with the former reportedly not standing in the way of her sister rekindling her friendship with the latter.

It was in February 2019 that Jenner and Woods ended their close friendship after Woods was caught kissing Thompson, who was dating Kardashian at the time, at a party.
Jenner, out of solidarity for Kardashian, ended her friendship with Woods, which meant Woods had to move out of her home – a decision that reportedly devastated Jenner at the time.
“Although Kylie was very upset and disgusted by the Tristan situation, she didn’t want to make any harsh decisions when it came to Jordyn,” a source told People at the time.
“It was very difficult for Kylie to just cut Jordyn out of her life. Kylie was devastated at first. Jordyn was her confidant for so long.”

Kardashian later said she had forgiven Woods and moved on from the incident, with Woods breaking her silence on Red Table Talk one month later.
During the episode, Woods told host Jada Pinkett Smith she had stayed at Thompson’s house until 6am that morning, and on the way out, Thompson kissed her.
”No passion, no nothing, on the way out. He just kissed me. Like a kiss on the lips, no tongue kiss, no making out, nothing,” Woods said.
“I allowed myself to be in that position. And when alcohol is involved, people make dumb moves, or people get caught up in the moment.”

It appeared that Woods solely took the blame for the incident despite Thompson allegedly instigating it, as although Kardashian and her serial philanderer ex were said to be off at the time, they eventually got back together.
Kardashian and Thompson welcomed a son together via surrogate in 2022, months after Thompson apologised publicly to Kardashian for fathering a child with another woman while they were together.
In April 2023, it was reported Kardashian and Thompson had split seemingly for good. Woods, meanwhile, has been quietly dating basketballer Karl-Anthony Towns, 27, since 2020.
