Jordyn Woods fired back at online critics questioning Jaden Smith’s presence among her wedding festivities.
The model and entrepreneur, 28, took to TikTok on Saturday to shut down speculation about why the “Karate Kid” actor was “with all of the girls” at her nuptials to NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns. Woods shared a nostalgic video collage tracing her friendship with Smith from early childhood through their present day, offering a direct response to the commentary.
“‘Why is Jaden with all of the girls? And at the bridal shower? And helping Karl with his shoes?'” Woods wrote atop the video, channeling the fan questions that had circulated online.
“Because he’s never missed an important moment in my life,” she added in the on-screen text.
In the caption beneath the TikTok post, Woods expressed deeper gratitude for the bond she and Smith have maintained across nearly three decades. She described him as “the epitome of a day ONE,” tracing their connection through life’s milestones.
“From diapers to marriage. I can’t wait for his wedding one day but until then 🤣!!!” she wrote.
The former “Life of Kylie” star emphasized Smith’s consistent presence during pivotal moments, noting he had never missed a birthday and had even helped lift spirits at her father’s funeral. “He showed up at my dads funeral and making us all laugh, to now getting married,” Woods wrote. “I’m so lucky I’ve never had to know a life without our friendship.”
Smith, also 28, played a notable role in the wedding beyond his emotional support. Though he was not formally part of Woods’ bridal party, he posed with the bridesmaids and bride at the ceremony and attended the bridal shower. His most distinctive contribution came through his professional position as the first-ever men’s creative director for Maison Christian Louboutin, which he leveraged to create custom footwear for the groom.
“My Best Friend Got Married And I Made Karl Size 20 Red Bottoms,” Smith announced on Instagram, sharing photos from the celebration.
“Jordyn I Love You So Much Congratulations Karl I Love You Bro Keep The Swag On High,” he added in the post.
The roots of Woods and Smith’s friendship extend back to their earliest years, forged partly through their fathers’ professional connections. Jordyn’s late father, John Woods, worked in television and had ties to Will Smith, Jaden’s famous father. This family link helped establish a bond that both have maintained into adulthood, surviving public scrutiny and the pressures of growing up in entertainment industry circles.
Woods’ wedding to Towns, the New York Knicks center, represented a culmination of personal milestones she has shared with Smith over their lifetime of friendship. The celebration drew attention for its star-studded guest list and lavish details, but also sparked the online commentary that prompted Woods’ weekend response.
