Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns have added a wedding ring to a year already filled with major milestones.
The model and designer, 28, and the New York Knicks star, 30, married on Aug. 15 in an outdoor ceremony overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu, California.
White flowers surrounded the couple as they exchanged vows in front of family, friends, Towns' NBA circle and a guest list packed with familiar Hollywood faces.
PEOPLE confirmed that Woods and Towns married at the Malibu ceremony nearly eight months after publicly announcing their engagement. After six years as a couple and an even longer friendship, they left the oceanfront celebration as husband and wife.
Woods walked down the aisle in a custom strapless Danielle Frankel ball gown made from Italian silk wool. The dress featured a draped bodice and full skirt, with hand-cut Chantilly and corded lace appliqués in varying shades of ivory. Page Six described the finished look as Old Hollywood-inspired, highlighting the neck wrap that extended down Woods' back and the lace-trimmed veil that framed the otherwise streamlined silhouette.

How did the notable rookies selected in the first round and beyond of the 2026 NFL Draft fare in their preseason debuts over the weekend?
First on the marquee, three quarterbacks came off the bench to shine in their first pro action in August, including the two drafted the earliest in April. Wide receiver was a different story, with the biggest noise made by pass-catchers picked No. 30 or later and two of the top picks, the Saints' Jordyn Tyson and the Eagles' Makai Lemon, injured and not playing.
Some rookie defensive stars crushing it in training camp had strong, steady performances without the spectacular. The early Ohio State stars, no surprise, showed some flashes.
Here's a breakdown of 12 of the many rookies who were under the spotlight to open the preseason.

The 2026 fantasy football season is approaching and several significant NFL injuries could seriously affect teams throughout the year.
NFL teams like the Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks have major expectations this year. However, injuries are the brutal reality of football that not only affect real life but also fantasy sports.

The NFL preseason has already kicked off and given fantasy managers quite a scare as teams try to keep injuries under wraps. Although, several notable injury setbacks are already expected to linger into the season, including rookie wide receivers Jordyn Tyson and Makai Lemon.
Both the New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles have huge expectations for their rookies, but their time on the field could be limited in Year 1. That's not a positive sign for fantasy owners.

Saints get brutal update on Jordyn Tyson on new hamstring injury originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New Orleans Saints extended Chris Olave to a long-term contract this offseason and drafted Jordyn Tyson in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. While both have shaky injury histories, when healthy, they should form an incredible duo.
Unfortunately, before they even got a chance to play together in the regular season, there is already a seemingly serious injury for Tyson due to a hamstring problem.
ESPN's Katherine Terrell reports that Tyson will miss some time due to a hamstring injury, and it could even "linger" into the regular season.
"Saints rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson has a right hamstring issue and will miss time, according to Saints coach Kellen Moore," Terrell reports. "Moore said that he's not going to estimate a timetable for Tyson's return yet, but when asked about the regular season, he said 'it could' potentially linger into Week 1."

Preseason game number one for the New Orleans Saints is finally here. After a scrimmage with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday, the Saints will host the Jaguars in the Superdome on Saturday afternoon. It will be the first 2026 preseason outing for either team.
Most starters for both teams will sit out the game. However, there is still much to keep an eye on for both teams. The Saints look like a much-improved roster from the 2026 version, but now have to show it on the field. This preseason test will be against a Jaguars squad coming off a 13-4 season and an AFC South championship. Here are a few things to watch closest during Saturday's Saints-Jaguars clash.
Don't expect any of the New Orleans starting five to see the field. However, this unit must show that they have some quality depth. Losing veteran Dillon Radunz for the year hurts. Radunz was able to fill in at multiple spots and had starting experience. The spotlight will be on second-year players Torricelli Simpkins, Easton Kilty, and rookie Jeremiah Wright on the inside. At tackle, Asim Richards along with undrafted rookies Alan Herron and Alex Wollschlaeger will have their opportunities.New Orleans has yet to sign a veteran offensive lineman after the injury to Radunz. Their philosophy is clearly to see what they have in their younger players. Saturday's performance of this unit against Jacksonville will help determine whether the Saints need to bring in veteran additions to the position before the end of training camp.
We won't see Chris Olave or Jordyn Tyson. But there is still a lot to be determined within the receiving corps. Rookies Barion Brown and Bryce Lance have made some jaw-dropping plays consistently in practice. Now, they'll get a chance to do it in a game against a different defense. Brown and Lance seem nearly certain for roster spots, as does veteran Devaughn Vele. That leaves perhaps one job up for grabs within the unit.
Can returning veterans Ronnie Bell, Kevin Austin Jr., or Mason Tipton make their claim? Will Trey Palmer provide another threat for the offense? Can Bub Means revert back to his promising 2024 rookie form? Will any of them close the apparent gap between themselves and Brown or Lance? These are just a few of the questions to watch play out on the field. The biggest is this: Will the New Orleans receiving corps provide both a legitimate threat against defenses and quality depth for the team's offense?

#jaguars #brown #lance #preseason

The Saints will not have one of their key rookies on the field for a while.
Head coach Kellen Moore told reporters on Friday that first-round pick Jordyn Tyson will miss time with the hamstring injury he suffered during Thursday's joint practice with the Jaguars.
While Moore did not provide a timetable for Tyson's recovery, he noted the receiver's injury could potentially linger into Week 1.
"We've just got to let these experts evaluate this, and then we'll put together a plan," Moore said, via Katherine Terrell of ESPN. "Not going to jump to conclusions. I don't have a doctor in front of my name, so I'm not going to jump to put together a timeline on it."
Moore noted that this injury is unrelated to the previous hamstring injuries Tyson has suffered throughout his playing career.

Through the first 70 players that were revealed on the 2026 NFL Top list, there had only been one from the Miami Dolphins, as linebacker Jordyn Brooks came in at No. 67.
Now, he has a teammate to join him as running back De'Von Achane landed at No. 26 on Wednesday.
Here's the video from the league:
Achane rushed for a career-high 1,350 yards and eight touchdowns on a league-leading 5.7 yards per carry in 2025. His ground performance in combination with his 67 receptions for 488 yards and four touchdowns helped him earn Pro Bowl honors for the first time in his career.
Miami rewarded Achane with a massive extension this offseason that should keep him in South Florida for the foreseeable future, and at least for right now, he's the focal point of the offense, and it's not hard to see why.

We're almost there -- the New Orleans Saints released their first unofficial depth chart ahead of Saturday's preseason game with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and for the most part, it's what you expect. The starting offensive line looks like what we've seen at training camp. It's the same pecking order at running back with Kendre Miller at RB3, even while he's missed several days of practice reps with an injury. Backups like Audric Estime and Devin Neal need to do more with their own reps to unseat him (and in Neal's case, also get healthy). But there are some points of note and takeaways from this first depth chart. It's important to remember this is an unofficial document made for media purposes, not a set-in-stone reflection of how the team is operating at practice every day. Coaches are going to stack some of these positions differently.
And here is what we learned:
There isn't much of a buffer between Simpkins (an undrafted free agent last year) and Wright (a rookie fourth-round pick) and the opportunity to play under the bright lights. Both backups are listed on the second-string offense behind Erik McCoy and Cesar Ruiz, respectively. And that's before Dillon Radunz goes on injured reserve. The Saints listed Radunz as the backup left guard but he's been practicing ahead of Wright until his recent knee injury. We may see William Sherman get the nod in a pinch, but look for Wright to log a ton of snaps this preseason.
This may not be too surprising if you've been keeping up with the daily highlight reels from practice, but being drafted in Round 6 doesn't mean you're a slam dunk to make the team. Brown followed that up by making some big catches in team drills, routinely getting open in one-on-one sessions, and standing out during special teams periods. He's listed as the immediate backup behind Chris Olave on the second-team offense as well the primary returner on both punts and kickoffs. He's still behind Jordyn Tyson and Devaughn Vele, sure. Brown is on the fast track to not just make the 53-man roster but to see meaningful snaps on Sundays.
The workload for respected veterans like Cameron Jordan and Alvin Kamara has been obvious. Jordan practiced with the second-string defense behind Chase Young and Carl Granderson (before his hamstring injury flared up) while Kamara mainly worked in passing situations and third downs with Travis Etienne Jr. seeing early-down work. Both of them have taken a backseat to new arrivals and younger teammates. But that isn't reflected on this unofficial depth chart. Jordan is listed as a starter with Young "or" Granderson starting at the other edge rusher spot. Kamara has the same "or" designation with Etienne. It's a symbol of respect for the vets but it doesn't reflect the team's plans for them. Young and Etienne are going to play as many snaps as they can handle.

#wright

With Jaguars coach Liam Coen announcing that he won't play his starters in the first preseason game every one of these practice reps becomes that much more valuable. This is the Saints' first chance to pit their best against their opponent's best. And with that in mind, here are four matchups we'll be watching closely:
Hunter has secured his place on top of Jacksonville's depth chart at cornerback, and he's looking to build off of a rookie year full of encouraging moments but short on game tape after he was shut down with a knee injury after Week 7. Similarly, Saints fans had to wait to see Tyson until the Saints opened up training camp because they kept him on ice throughout the spring to rest an injured hamstring. Now both young pros are playing well. Seeing who comes out ahead should be one of Thursday's biggest draws.
Harrison started the last three seasons at right tackle, and he has looked like the Jags' best blocker regardless of position. But now he's lining up on the left side (where he played in college at Oklahoma) while projected starter Cole Van Lanen deals with an injury. This is a great test for Young against one of the league's better young tackles. The Saints are eager to see Young take the next step after breaking out with ten sacks last season. He's talked a lot of trash and taken on a more vocal role as a leader during practice. Winning his battles with Harrison would be tremendous.
Walker has caught some heat for not being as effective a pass rusher as the guy drafted right behind him (Aidan Hutchinson), but he's consistently won his matchups with the Jaguars' right tackles at training camp and is exactly the type of high-end athlete who gave Fuaga trouble last season. Fuaga did have to fight through a couple of different injuries last season so proving he can stand up to one of the Jags' top edge rushers would inspire real confidence. Josh Hines-Allen is one to watch, too, but it sounds like he's mainly rushing off the right side of the formation (and against Saints left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr.).
Washington broke out last season with 65 catches for 954 yards and six touchdowns (including thee playoffs), quickly ****** erting himself as one of Trevor Lawrence's favorite targets. He split time in the slot with Jakobi Meyers but was targeted more often when he did line up inside, leading Jacksonville in yards (458) and touchdowns (3) by healthy margins. He'll be the one to watch when the Saints roll out their nickel personnel with safety Jonas Sanker manning the slot. He's had his hands full with Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson rotating into the slot throughout training camp, but getting to work against another team's talent will show us if he's ready to hold it down when the season starts.

Hezly Rivera rallied perfectly on Sunday to claim her second straight U.S. women's gymnastics ****** le.
Rivera, after starting the final day of competition in fourth, ended up beating the field by more than a full point in Phoenix to win her second consecutive national ****** le. She is now the first woman to go back-to-back in the competition since Jordyn Wieber pulled the feat off in 2010 and 2011, excluding Simone Biles' dominant run in the sport, of course.
Rivera was just about perfect on Sunday. The 18-year-old posted a 56.950 in the second day to get to 111.950 on the weekend. While starting more than a point back, Rivera narrowed the gap to half of a point after the first two rotations. It was then her floor routine, where she earned a 14.300, that finally sent her into the lead.
Rivera made her Olympics debut at the Paris games last summer, where she helped the Americans win gold as a team for the third time in the past four competitions. She also defended her beam ****** le this weekend.
Claire Pease finished in second at 110.800 while claiming the uneven bars ****** le, and Charleigh Bullock, 16, came in third at 110.550. Pease was tied for the lead after the opening day with Skye Blakely. But Blakely, who won silver on bars, fell three times on Sunday to drop down to seventh. Two-time gold medalist Jade Carey finished in fifth, and won her third U.S. vault ****** le in the process.

PHOENIX (AP) — Hezly Rivera is leaning into her role as the leader of the next wave of U.S. women's gymnasts.
The 18-year-old Olympic gold medalist won her second straight national ******* le on Sunday, rallying from fourth during the final day of competition with four poised and professional routines. Her two-day total of 111.950 was more than a point clear of runner-up Claire Pease, making Rivera the first American woman not named Simone Biles to go back-to-back since former world and Olympic champion Jordyn Wieber did it in 2010 and 2011.
Rivera was the self-described "underdog" in Paris two years ago, when she joined an experienced group that helped the Americans win their third team gold in four Games. While some of her Olympic teammates — Biles and Suni Lee chief among them — have been on an extended break (though Lee announced last month she has started training for a return to competition), Rivera has pressed on.
She edged Leanne Wong in New Orleans last year, but Rivera's chances for a repeat seemed to be in trouble after she fell face-first into the mat after missing a release on uneven bars on Thursday.
No matter, Rivera began Sunday on bars and put together a gritty set in which she fought through a mini-stall near the end and gave coach Valeri Liukin a "what are you gonna do?" shrug after a dismount that included a small step.

Jordyn Tyson's first NFL training camp started quietly. As of the team's last two practices, the New Orleans Saints' top draft pick is beginning to show why the team selected him No. 8 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Tyson has noticeably increased his involvement over the Saints' last two practices, creating a lot of separation and becoming a more frequent target for Tyler Shough. After spending much of the offseason program on a carefully managed workload, the rookie is starting to look more comfortable within the offense.
Saturday was Tyson's best practice yet. Shough and the rookie connected several times, including a catch along the sideline after Tyson created considerable separation against Quincy Riley. He dragged both feet in bounds to complete the play.
Tyson carried that momentum into Sunday's practice, continuing to generate opportunities with the first-team offense. The growing comfort between him and Shough is an encouraging development after their limited time together during OTAs and mandatory minicamp.
Head coach Kellen Moore has primarily used Tyson from the slot while increasing his workload, but the Saints plan to expose him to more snaps on the outside. Now, as the training wheels come off, Tyson is beginning to provide a glimpse of the playmaking ability New Orleans envisioned when they made him a top-10 pick.

Whew. The hype building up around Barion Brown isn't dying down. On Thursday, the rookie wide receiver ended the New Orleans Saints' seventh training camp practice with an exclamation point by catching a touchdown pass deep downfield from Spencer Rattler. It's just the latest explosive play from a sixth-round pick most fans expected to make the squad for his skills in the return game on special teams. Instead, it's looking like Brown has real potential to help out offensively.
Rattler deserves a lot of credit on the throw that ended Thursday's practice session. He was throwing on the move, outside the pocket and under duress, but kept his eyes downfield and placed the pass where only Brown had a chance at catching it. It officially went down as a 46-yard completion that traveled more than 30 yards through the air. That's a Sunday throw. Brown came down with the pass even with veteran cornerback Isaac Yiadom covering him tightly. He's made a lot of plays against Yiadom and his fellow backup Martin Emerson Jr. on the second-string defense. There's 5,159 career defensive snaps and 169 games played between the two of them (including the playoffs).
But you can count Saints coach Kellen Moore as one of those observers who wasn't surprised to see Brown thriving on offense. Even if the team drafted him for his chops on special teams, Moore saw plenty of quality reps through Brown's college tape. Brown caught 122 passes in three years at Kentucky before transferring to LSU in 2025, where he posted a personal-best 53 receptions. That experience against a strong quality of competition prepared him for the challenges he's now facing in the NFL.
"I think we watched a lot of evidence of him playing receiver, and playing impactful plays in the SEC for a number of years, not just the LSU year, but the Kentucky year(s)," Moore told reporters after practice on Wednesday. "And when you watch all that exposure and get to know Barion, you're really fired up to have this guy, and so he's doing a great job. And I think the hardest part for these young guys really isn't the physical. You know, there's an acclimation there, but there's so much mental and so I think that's a credit to him that he's been really prepared to go out there and play."
It's a wide-open competition for the fourth and fifth roster spots at wide receiver. With the Saints having their top three locked in between Chris Olave, Jordyn Tyson, and Devaughn Vele, guys who started training camp on the roster bubble like Brown need every rep they can get to stand out and build their case. Brown is certainly making the most of his chances so far. With joint practices and preseason games against other teams coming up fast, he'll get more opportunities to prove he belongs.

The Saints head into the 2026 preseason with second-year quarterback Tyler Shough officially taking the reins as the full-time starter. Shough provided a noticeable spark late in 2025 after taking over for Spencer Rattler and should be able to build on his performance with second-year head coach Kellen Moore.
The pressure is on Shough to produce quickly, especially after the first-round selection of receiver Jordyn Tyson and free-agent pickup Travis Etienne
The Saints will be without Demario Davis in the middle of the defense but did get Cam Jordan back for another year.
New Orleans hopes it can turn a late-season surge from a year ago into a division-winning formula early this season.

The first week of Dallas Cowboys training camp is over and the pads start popping on Monday but there is already been some fireworks when it comes to standouts, stars and whispers of potential additions.
As much fans and the Cowboys want to get excited about the young guys, quarterback Dak Prescott remains the unquestioned star of team. The game has simply slowed down for him. MVP talk should be real for Prescott in this offense.
Left tackle remains a huge concern for the Cowboys and that means Tyler Guyton. As much success as the offense had last season despite the struggles of Guyton and Nate Thomas, it's not lost on the Cowboys that Prescott got sacked 31 times, fourth most his career, and got hit a ton. That he didn't get sacked more was due to his ability to move in the pocket and avoid sacks but he got as he was delivering the ball too many times for the Cowboys.
Receiver CeeDee Lamb is on board with Prescott's GOTI nickname, Greatest Offense There Is, for the Cowboys after what they accomplished last season. He said they are not resting on their laurels and want to better and more explosive in 2026. That starts with him staying healthy for a full season and the offense being better in the red zone. The were 16th in red zone touchdown percentage last season. "It's a standard for us," he said of the GOTI nickname. "Obviously, we know and we pay our dues to everybody and all the offenses that've been successful. And shout out to The Greatest Show on Turf, as we all know. They're the standard, you know what I'm saying? "But, as for us, we hold ourselves to a higher standard, and we just gotta be able to execute. We can say these things and have these acronyms for ourselves but, at the end of the day, we've got to come out here every day and execute. And we are reminded of that every day. That's our stepping stone, and making small, gradual steps every day, and being the best version of ourselves. You know the playmakers that we have, so you look top down, it's real."
Linebacker remains a position of focus for the Cowboys. There are still concerns about DeMarvion Overshown staying healthy for 17 games, an issue that is even more acute if he is asked to play middle linebacker and take on blocks for a full season. Overshown is at his best at weakside linebacker he and run sideline to sideline and blitz off the edge. The Cowboys tried to trade for Jordyn Brooks from the Dolphins in offseason. It's a trade they will likely revisit.

Apart from his late mother, Karl-Anthony Towns credits his fiancée, Jordyn Woods, as a woman who helped carry him to the top.
In a Saturday (July 25 appearance) on The New York Times show The Interview, the New York Knicks center named Woods as someone who's shaped him into a better person on and off the court.
"I guess you could say a relationship in Hollywood hasn't lasted as long as ours," KAT said around the 16-minute mark of the video below. "That's just kind of not the norm. And then we found ourselves finding each other at the foundational level of just being friends for years."
The athlete added that Woods "taught" him more about himself than he was "willing to work on."

Former Houston Texans linebacker Devin White has found a new home.
According to reports, White and the Detroit Lions have agreed to terms on a one-year deal. The former first-round pick spent the 2024 season with the Texans as a No. 3 option behind Pro Bowler Azeez Al-Shaair and Henry To'oTo'o.
White, 28, started all 17 games for the Las Vegas Raiders last season, totaling 174 combined tackles, 2.5 sacks, seven quarterback hits, an interception, three forced fumbles and one pass breakup. His hit total ranked third in the NFL, trailing only new teammate Jack Campbell (176) and Miami Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks (183).
A former star for LSU, White was selected fifth overall by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019. He spent his first five seasons in Tampa, earning Pro Bowl honors in 2021 and a second-team All-Pro nod in 2020.
During the 2020 season, White was the anchor of the Buccaneers' defense en route to a Super Bowl ****** le. He recorded two interceptions, two pass breakups and two fumble recoveries to go along with 23 total tackles.

The Dallas Cowboys didn't have practice on Friday, but that didn't stop COO Stephen Jones from making more news. During his interview on 105.3 The Fan, Jones kept recent trade rumors alive, but it's what he said after the interview that's caused a stir. According to reports, Jones hinted at bringing in a big-time player, a player local to Texas. Immediately reigniting the trade rumors around Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks. Only time will tell if a Brooks or Maxx Crosby trade happens, but now fans can truly say "like father, like son" after Stephen Jones added to the trade fever in Dallas.
But that wasn't the only Cowboys-related news: former quarterback-turned-CBS broadcaster Tony Romo was sidelined by CBS after his July arrest. Once news broke that an open bottle of alcohol was found in his vehicle, it was enough for CBS to make this move. Replacing Romo on the broadcast for now will be former Houston Texan J.J. Watt, leaving Romo's future with the network in limbo until his legal issues are resolved.

Jordyn Woods went viral for her lucky orange handbag during the New York Knicks' NBA Finals run, but she doesn't want to take the credit for the team's championship win.
The New York Knicks brought home an NBA championship for the first time in 53 years. Throughout their NBA Finals run against the San Antonio Spurs, Woods, who is engaged to Karl-Anthony Towns, wore her citrus bag that gained notoriety for being the reason behind the Knicks' historic win. In an interview with Bustle, she explained why she continued to keep wearing the bag to the NBA games.
"I started wearing it and became really superstitious during the playoffs," Woods said.
Before games, she would post her GRWM (get ready with me) videos where fans continued to ask, "'Where's the bag? Where's the bag?' So then I felt like a responsibility to everyone to keep bringing the bag."

Last season, the New Orleans Saints were reportedly fielding trade offers for Chris Olave. Now they've made him one of the NFL's highest paid wide receivers.
Olave, headed into the final year of his rookie contract, reportedly signed a four-year extension that will keep him as Tyler Shough's huckleberry through the foreseeable future. At $132 million and $90 million guaranteed, it wasn't able to reset the wideout market but pays him slightly more in annual average salary than former Ohio State teammate Garrett Wilson. The New York Jets gave Wilson a four-year, $130 million deal last offseason, making him the league's seventh-highest paid WR.
It's a big bet on a player who has emerged as an engine in the Saints offense when available. The Saints are locked in to $90 million for a receiver coming off his finest season. His 100 catches were seventh-best in the NFL en route to second-team All-Pro honors. But he also missed more than half the 2024 season due to concussion concerns and his 2.0 yards per route run (YPRR) were a career low. Will the Saints regret a great commitment for a player who may merely be good?
This offseason has been predicated on bringing weapons into the fold as New Orleans figures out whether Shough's ability to exceed expectations as a rookie was an outlier or a sign of things to come. The Saints signed running back Travis Etienne for $12 million annually and used the eighth overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft on Jordyn Tyson. Keeping Olave fits with that philosophy.
At the same time, it's fair to wonder if Olave can keep up his 2025 pace when he's not the surefire focus of the offense. Last year's New Orleans offense couldn't run the ball (31st in rushing expected points added). Only two other players on the team had more than 40 targets and one, Rashid Shaheed, was traded mid-season. His target share of just under 30 percent was a career high and his 8.7 air yards per catch were a career low, leading to modest impacts despite his prolific nature.

Jordyn Woods opened up about the challenges of growing up in the public eye. The 28-year-old social media personality, who is engaged to Karl-Anthony Towns, said she experienced an adult life at a young age.
The NBA Finals are over, but Woods' lucky bag remains a hot topic. Talking about her viral game-day accessory, she said it became a lucky charm for her and Knicks fans everywhere. The New York Knicks won their first NBA championship since 1973 this year. Fans credited the team's success to many factors, including Woods' lucky bag.
Woods told Bustle in a July 29 interview that losing her father in 2017 forced her to grow up quickly. Woods said she has always felt like the same person she was as a child and described herself as an "old soul." She added that the journey was not easy or quick and required a lot of healing.
She said she grew up without a role model she could truly relate to. She explained that while her social media may show one side of her life, the person she is beyond the screen is very different. She then recollected, "The bag was pretty epic, because that was the most organic marketing I could have ever had. I couldn't even pay for marketing like that; it just happened. I don't think I've really processed how crazy that whole thing is." Woods created the bag under her own label, Woods by Jordyn.
Woods rose to fame through her childhood friendship with Kylie Jenner and appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. While the fame may look rosy, it always has a flip side. In 2019, she found herself at the center of a highly publicized cheating scandal involving Tristan Thompson, who was dating Khloé Kardashian at the time.
