Kylie Jenner and Karl-Anthony Towns' fiancee, Jordyn Woods, have both made plenty of headlines during the 2026 NBA Finals on their own, but now they're making headlines together in the most wholesome way.

The friendship between the reality television star and the fashion designer was once considered unbreakable. For years, Woods was more than just Jenner's best friend as she was practically considered a member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan herself given how integrated her presence was with the family.

However, the two women experienced a catastrophic fracture to their friendship when their close bond was dramatically shaken in 2019 when Woods became embroiled in a controversy involving Cleveland Cavaliers' star forward Tristan Thompson.

In February 2019, reports surfaced claiming Woods and Thompson had shared a kiss during a party at the NBA player's home in Los Angeles. Additional reports claimed that Woods had spent the night at Thompson's house following the scandalous kiss.

At the time of the incident, Thompson was in a relationship with Jenner's sister, Khloe Kardashian, which sent a dramatic schism through the Kardashian-Jenner household and sealed the rift between Kylie and Jordyn.

The fallout from Woods' controversial encounter with Thompson had immediate consequences in abruptly halting her friendship with her then-best friend. In the years that followed, both women focused on their respective individual lives and careers, with fans believing that their friendship would never be revived.

But just as the New York Knicks' have shocked the basketball world by reviving their presence in the NBA Finals after 27 years, the mending energy has been transferred to the sidelines and the excited positivity of the 2026 NBA Playoffs has found its way to Kylie Jenner and Jordyn Woods.

In several moments which fans previously believed would never become reality, the beauty mogul and her former best friend have found themselves resolving their differences and sharing in the celebratory enthusiasm of the Knicks' success.
