How did Jaden Smith and Jordyn Woods meet?
Jaden Smith’s friendship with Jordyn Woods began long before her time with her former best friend, Kylie Jenner.
Although they’ve been friends for years, Smith and Woods’ relationship came into the forefront in February 2019. During that time, Woods was in a cheating scandal between Jenner’s sister, Khloé Kardashian, and NBA star, Tristan Thompson. Woods shared her side of what happened during an episode of Smith’s mother, Jada Pinkett Smith’s show, Red Table Talk.

Woods and her parents, Elizabeth and John, met Will Smith on the set of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Since Woods and Smith were the same age, the pair grew up together and instantly became friends.
In 2015, Smith shared via Instagram how much his friendship with Woods means to him. Smith posted a selfie on Woods’ timeline and left a heartfelt caption.

As for Woods, the model became known as Jenner’s best friend and appeared on her E! show, Life of Kylie.
Although their careers grew separately, Woods made sure to point out that Woods and Smith’s bond isn’t going anywhere. In honor of Smith’s 21st birthday in July 2019, Woods celebrated Smith by posting several pictures of them when they were young children. Woods showed her appreciation for Smith underneath the Instagram slideshow.
“Honestly, @c.syresmith is probably one of the realest people in life. We must’ve traveled in a past life to get here today but from 0 to 21 years old were still here. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the most loving and caring boy I know. I love you best friend!! Here’s to the tequila shots we’ll be taking later.”

“We met through a mutual friend. [Jordyn] grew up, she’s known Jaden [Smith] her whole life, and then I met him in middle school,” Jenner said. “They were best friends, they still are.”
