Kylie Jennerbrought her squad to Turks and Caicos for acelebratory girls trippromoting her launch of the newsummer body care-focusedproducts of herKylie Skin line.
“It’s only girls and close friends of Kylie’s. She invited Sofia because she finds her very sweet,” a source tells PEOPLE of Richie, 20, who is dating her sisterKourtney Kardashian‘s exScott Disick. “Kylie gets along great with her. The whole family has accepted Sofia.”
Unsurprisingly absent from the getaway is Jenner’s ex-best friend,Jordyn Woods, who fell out with the Kardashian-Jenner family afterhooking upwithTristan Thompson, the father ofKhloé Kardashian‘s child.
The two used to be inseparable, and Woods often accompanied Jenner, boyfriend Travis Scott and Stormi on vacations. But a source tells PEOPLE that losing her best friend prompted Jenner to focus on other friendships.
“As sad as the Jordyn situation has been for Kylie, she has also been forced to make new friendships,” the source tells PEOPLE. “Some of the girls on her trip, used to be more like acquaintances, but they are now great friends.”

This confirms what PEOPLE learned when the cheating scandal broke. “She has been socializing more and trying to find a bigger circle of friends that she can be close with,” an insider said in March. “After the Jordyn drama, she realized that relying on just one friend is not the best idea.”
One girl who seems to have stepped into Woods’ role is Anastasia “Stassie” Karanikolaou. The model has been in the makeup mogul’scircle for yearsand remains pals with Woods, who had a run-in with Jenner atKaranikolaou’s June birthday bash.Still, she’s been more present in the reality star’s social media lately. In one post, Jenner even called Karanikolaou, 22, her “twin.”
