Kylie Jenner and Jordyn Woods have shared another public sign that their friendship is firmly back on track. They were photographed celebrating together courtside during the New York Knicks’ NBA Eastern Conference Finals victory at Madison Square Garden.
The viral image showed Jenner, Woods and Jordyn’s mother, Elizabeth Woods, hugging and celebrating after the Knicks crushed the Cleveland Cavaliers 130-93 in Game 4 to complete a series sweep and advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999.
Woods attended the game to support her fiance, Karl-Anthony Towns, while Jenner arrived alongside boyfriend Timothée Chalamet, a longtime Knicks fan regularly seen courtside throughout the playoff run.

Kylie Jenner and Jordyn Woods’ friendship
The moment carried extra weight because of Jenner and Woods’ complicated history. The pair first became friends in middle school through Jaden Smith and quickly formed one of pop culture’s closest celebrity friendships. Between 2013 and 2018, Woods became deeply connected with the Kardashian-Jenner family, living with Kylie and appearing regularly in family projects and vacations.
Their relationship dramatically collapsed in 2019 after Woods was linked to NBA player Tristan Thompson, who was dating Khloe Kardashian at the time. The fallout led to years of public distance before reconciliation rumors emerged in 2023 following a dinner outing and joint TikTok appearance.

Since reconnecting, the two have gradually returned to public events together, but their latest courtside celebration may be the clearest sign yet that their friendship has fully recovered.

Meanwhile, Towns continues to thrive during New York’s dominant postseason run. The Knicks star recorded 19 points, 14 rebounds, two steals and two blocks in Monday’s win, helping New York secure its 11th straight playoff victory.
“I feel like the word ‘hope’ has been gone from the New York Knicks name for a long time and for me to be part of this team that revives hope is something special,” Towns said after the game.
