Jordyn Woods has been praised by fans for being more than “Kylie Jenner’s best friend” as she returned to work after admitting she kissed Khloe Kardashian’s now ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson.

In her candid interview earlier this month Woods told how the basketball player “kissed” her after a party but held strong that she was not “the reason that Khloe and Tristan are not together”.

Whilst Jenner appeared to make it clear she is moving on last week, Woods made her return to the public eye as she launched her collaboration with eyelash brand Eyelure in London.

She stepped out in a striking blonde wig, a big change from her usual brunette locks, and a turquoise mini-dress showcasing a bold eye look for the occasion.

Fans of the 21-year-old model praised Woods on social media for her “new vibe” adding that she is better as “herself”.

“Jordyn got tired of being ‘Kylie’s best friend’ now she Jordyn woods again,” said one user.

Another wrote: “@jordynwoods You not playing fair got damn your fine!!! Keep ya foot on their NECKS!! Them: Aren't you Kylies Bestfriend Jordyn: No I'm Jordyn, Jordyn M**** Woods ..Okurrr Periodt!” [sic]

Sources previously claimed Woods and Jenner’s friendship is “far from being repaired”, according to TMZ.

The publication added that beauty guru Jenner has distanced herself from Woods despite her personal belongings still being in the house they shared prior to the incident.

The pair are yet to comment on the status of their friendship.
