Who Is Jordyn Woods? All About Karl-Anthony Towns’ Girlfriend Amid Kylie Jenner Reunion 4 Years After Tristan Thompson Controversy

Kylie Jenner’s BFF status became a major topic of conversation after her alleged feud with Jordyn Woods went viral. Before Woods would go on to be associated with Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns, she and another NBA player by the name of Tristan Thompson ended up allegedly driving a wedge in the long-running friendship. After almost half a decade since the incident, things seemed to have cooled down. From going out on dinner dates to revealing details about staying “in touch throughout the years”, it now seems to be back to normal.

Anyone familiar with the world of Hollywood knows who Kylie Jenner is. However, the same may not be said about Jordyn Woods. Hence, there would be no better time than now to dive into her history and learn more about her association with the Twolves’ power forward.

Who is Karl-Anthony Towns’ girlfriend?

Jordyn Woods is a 26-year-old model and socialite of African American descent. She is the daughter of the late John Woods, a sound producer who worked on various renowned television shows. His behind-the-scenes work on ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ earned him a close friendship with Will Smith, and Jordyn a glimpse into Hollywood life. She started her modeling career in 2015 and even worked for Khloe’s company, Good American, from 2016 to 2019.

When did Jordyn Woods meet Karl-Anthony Towns?

According to reports, the model and the basketball player first met each other in May 2020. In 2021, Karl-Anthony Towns revealed that the future couple met through “a mutual acquaintance and grew close”. Over the years, she has been a constant source of support to the Timberwolves star. From being with him during his recovery from COVID to sharing “common ground” after the player’s mother passed away, Woods’ relationship with KAT has been filled with some memorable moments.

“I think it’s kind of cool dating your best friend,“ said Woods back in 2021. “We know each other. We know each other’s hearts. We know each other on good days and bad days and we’ve been through a lot of bad days together.”

Jordyn Woods has also been seen making the occasional appearance during NBA games to support her beau. In April 2022, on the 2nd death anniversary of Anthony Towns’ mother, the Timberwolves recorded a resounding victory against the LA Clippers by 109-102. Woods celebrated the occasion on social media, highlighting a picture of her embracing the player and writing “So proud of you @karltowns … it’s deeper than basketball!!” in the caption.

After being together for 4 years, the bond between the couple continues to grow stronger day by day. While no marriage rumors swirl above their heads, Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordyn Woods seem to be in as good of a place as any couple can be.

What led to the Kylie Jenner-Jordyn Woods controversy?

As mentioned above, Jordyn Woods’ father had formed a close association with Will Smith because of his work on ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’. This allowed her to become friends with the actor’s son, Jaden, who would later introduce her to Kylie Jenner in 2012. This would lead to a 7 year-long friendship, a period during which Woods would make an appearance at Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s wedding, work for Khloe’s clothing line, and even go as far as to engage in a ‘traditional commitment ceremony’ with Kylie to establish their strong friendship.

That blissful period, however, came to an end in February 2019. Back then, Kylie’s step-sister Khloe was in a relationship with then-Cavaliers star Tristan Thompson. The couple broke up after it was controversially revealed he had cheated on her with Jordyn Woods. The news became a matter of public interest after TMZ and Hollywood Unlocked first broke it. Thompson took to Instagram to put up a post stating “FAKE NEWS” before deleting it an hour later. According to PEOPLE Magazine, a source said that the Kardashian family was “beyond angry and disgusted” by the scandal.

In the aftermath of the incident, Jordyn Woods, who was living with Kylie, moved out and returned to living with her mother. She would give her first public interview a month later to explain her side of the story. During an episode of ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ in May, Kylie was heard mentioning Woods and saying, “She f**ed up.”

2019 is now long gone. Woods has found a new love and has briefly reconciled by “talking through everything,” with her former best friend. Leaving the controversial past behind, she is looking forward to whatever the future will bring to her next.
