This influencer and reality TV star who is friends with Kylie Jenner shared a rare pH๏τo with her parents to Instagram on Monday. She was paying tribute to her father who died eight years ago. Wo is she?

She is Jordyn Woods.

The media personality, 27, is a childhood friend of Kylie’s.

She was also close to the entire family until she was accused of romancing Khloe’s baby daddy Tristan Thompson.

Woods denied any wrongdoing. Though Kylie is close to her, it is not known if Khloe has forgiven her.

Her caption for the old family pH๏τo read: ‘Today marks 8 years without you. For those of you who have been here that long, how crazy is it that it’s already been 8 years!? 

‘I wish I could say grief was something that got easier over time, and for some that may be the case, but for me losing a parent is like having a hole in your heart that never seems to heal. Eventually you just learn to live with that hole. Some days are brighter than others, but in the direction my life has gone, I know a lot of this wouldn’t have been possible without my guardian angel pulling some strings up there.’

Jordyn dates Knicks player Karl-Anthony Towns.

Woods and the professional NBA star sparked engagement rumors when she flashed an eye-catching ring on her left hand, but has yet to comment on the speculation. 

Woods and Towns had been friends for many years before their relationship became romantic in 2020. That same year, the couple went Instagram official with their romance. 

While talking to People in 2023, Jordyn got candid about their relationship and told the outlet it is based on, ‘Friendship and trust.’

‘We were really good friends before we started dating, and COVID gave us that free time to really get to know each other.’

She added, ‘We’ve been through a lot together. We’ve seen each other at all different ways, times, phases, so I think we have a very strong foundation.’ 

And last year in February 2024, Towns gushed about how Woods is a big fan of basketball.

He also told People at the time, ‘We watch game film with each other, we watch lots of basketball with each other, and we’re dissecting the game. She’s becoming more of a basketball savant.’ 

The NBA player then sweetly said, ‘She is truly special to me. You know, with my mom and my sister, I’ve seen the impact that good women have on men’s lives.’ 

‘And I’m just blessed that I saw that firsthand before I got with Jordyn so that I could learn to appreciate her.’ 

Nearly three months earlier in October, Woods fueled engagement rumors when she snapped a mirror selfie with a diamond sparkler on her ring finger. 

But just days later, she was seen not wearing the ring as she attended the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in NYC. 

Earlier on Wednesday, Woods rung in 2025 by sharing a video to her main Instagram page as she was joined by Towns.

In the reel, the pair could be seen showing off their stylish outfits and at one point, Karl-Anthony sweetly twirled Jordyn around. 

She penned in the caption, ‘we were supposed to finish this video when we were dressed to go out and we decided to stay in so here’s that. going into 2025 with the same one I left with.’

Jordyn is also known for her on-and-off friendship with Kylie Jenner, which initially became rocky amid her cheating scandal with Tristan Thompson in 2019. 

At the time, the pair had kissed while at a party – despite Thompson still dating Khloe Kardashian at the time. 

However, both Woods and Jenner have seemingly patched things up and in July 2023, they were spotted reuniting at a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles – their first public appearance together in four years. 

An insider told People at the time, ‘Jordyn reached out to Kylie to apologize for how everything went down and let her know that she loves her.’

And in September 2024, Kylie and Jordyn reunited once again in a TikTok with Jenner’s BFF Anastasia ‘Stᴀssie’ Karanikolaou.

In the short clip, Kylie could be seem mouthing the words from audio of her sister, Kim Kardashian, and said, ‘Okay guys, we’re back!’

Jordyn then stepped forward and mouthed the words, ‘Did you miss us?’ while Stᴀssie added, ‘Cause we missed you!’ 

One month later, Kylie admitted that she was ‘heartbroken’ over her friendship fallout with Woods over the infamous cheating scandal during an interview with Elle.  

‘I was heartbroken,’ Jenner expressed. ‘To lose that person felt really lonely, but I had to go through that.’

‘I learned so much, gained so much independence, and was there for myself. It helped me grow up a little bit, because we were so attached at the hip.’

The star further explained to the publication that ‘it was needed distance’ for both herself and Woods.

‘I think that in order for us both to grow, she needed to spread her wings and do what she needed to do as well.’

Jenner stated that the pair ‘always tried to talk through things’ despite their friendship being over in the public eye.

She told Elle, ‘Anytime something happened, good or bad, and I needed to call someone, it would always be her.’
