Kylie Jenner reunites with former BFF Jordyn Woods 4 years on from Tristan Thompson controversy

Kylie Jenner was pictured having dinner with ex-BFF Jordyn Woods four years after she cut ties with her longtime friend for kissing sister Khloé Kardashian’s now-ex Tristan Thompson.

The former pals, both 25, were spotted at a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles on Saturday in photos obtained by MailOnline and appeared to be in good spirits.

Following their dinner, the pair were seen leaving the restaurant in the same car.

The unexpected reunion comes four years after Woods kissed Khloe Kardashian’s then-boyfriend, NBA player Tristan Thompson, 32, back in February 2019, which led to their breakup.

At the time, the influencer claimed that the athlete kissed her “on the lips” at a house party and blamed alcohol for the incident.

She told Jada Pinkett Smith during an appearance on Red Table Talk that March: “It was a kiss on the lips, but no tongue kiss. No making out.

“I don’t think he’s wrong either because I allowed myself to be in that position. When alcohol is involved, people make dumb moves.”

But Woods’ comments didn’t sit well with Kardashian, 39, who publicly hit out at her for not calling her privately to apologise.

The Good American co-founder tweeted in response to Woods’ interview: “Why are you lying @jordynwoods ??

“If you’re going to try and save yourself by going public, INSTEAD OF CALLING ME PRIVATELY TO APOLOGIZE FIRST, at least be HONEST about your story.

“BTW, You ARE the reason my family broke up!”

However, the reality TV star later clarified her anger after she received backlash for putting the blame on Woods and not Thompson, who is the father of her daughter, True, and son, Tatum.

She tweeted: “Tristan is equally to blame but Tristan is the father of my child. Regardless of what he does to me I won’t do that to my daughter.

“He has been addressing this situation PRIVATELY. If Tristan were to lie publicly about what conspired, then yes I would address him publicly as well.”

Following well-documented fallout between Kardashian and Woods, the mother-of-two insisted that she “didn’t hold a grudge” towards her sister’s friend.

She said during the second part of the family’s reality TV reunion special in June 2021: “I don’t have any grudge against Jordyn.

“I think people make mistakes, people live, and they learn.

“I have to forgive these people for me, and it’s up to them to forgive themselves and be accountable and learn and hopefully don’t repeat these same cycles.”

Kardashian at the time said she has no issue with Jenner repairing her friendship with Woods, who has been dating NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns since 2020.

However, Jenner wasn’t so optimistic about a reconciliation.

She said in the same reunion: “When we were friends, we never thought that we wouldn’t be friends, it was kind of an overnight thing.

“When she did something to my family, it felt like she did something to me.”
