Kendall Jenner and Jordyn Woods Have an 'Awkward' Encounter at Coachella Party: Source

"It wasn't hard to see the tension and the awkwardness," the partygoer at Saturday's Bootsy Bellows Pool Party noted of Kendall Jenner and Jordyn Woods' interactions

Two months may have passed since news of Jordyn Woods and Tristan Thompson‘s cheating scandal broke, but it does not appear that the tensions between the model and the KarJenner fam have subsided just yet.

On Saturday, Jordyn showed up to a Coachella pre-party near Palm Springs, where she awkwardly ran into Kendall Jenner, the older sister of Jordyn’s former best friend Kylie Jenner — and the uncomfortable moment was evident to nearly everyone attending the bash.

A partygoer at the 7th annual Bootsy Bellows Pool Party, presented by McDonald’s and PacSun, tells PEOPLE that Kendall, 23, was sitting with Hailey Baldwin at a table when Jordyn, 21, arrived with longtime pal and Coachella performer Jaden Smith.

“It was such an awkward moment, everyone saw it,” the insider recalled, adding that their tables were within direct eyeshot of each other.

“They made eye contact and you could see that they all thought this is awkward — they were saying it with their eyes and body language,” the insider added. “It wasn’t hard to see the tension and the awkwardness.”

The uncomfortable encounter only lasted for a short time until Jordyn appeared to have a “little fight” with her mom, according to the partygoer.

Once Jordyn was gone, the source said Kendall and Hailey appeared to be relieved and were joined by fellow model Gigi Hadid. “They were basically [like], ‘Let’s get this party started’ and were chatting away with Gigi.”

Reps for Jordyn and Kendall did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Since news of the cheating scandal involving Thompson broke in February, the KarJenner family has banded together to support Khloé Kardashian and Kylie through the difficult time.

On March 1, Jordyn shared her side of the story in the tell-all interview, claiming that the father of Khloé‘s child kissed her at an afterparty at his house on Feb. 17.

Though she adamantly denied having sex with him, she admitted that the next day, while she told Kylie, 21, and Khloé, 34, that she had been at Thompson’s house, she didn’t disclose what had happened between them.

Khloé initially slammed Jordyn on Twitter after the interview, blaming her for breaking up her family, but she softened her tone a day later and placed the fault instead on Thompson, 27.

A source close to the Kardashians also told PEOPLE at the time that “the Kardashians are feeling 100 percent done with Jordyn” and that they were “pissed” that Jordyn would try to make amends during her public appearance on the show, instead of reaching out directly.

Jordyn, who moved out of Kylie’s house, currently remains distanced from the famous family, and a source recently told PEOPLE that Jordyn and Kylie have had limited contact.

“It’s still a tricky situation for Kylie. And no one is actually putting too much pressure on her,” the source said. “Her family is aware that she is in contact with Jordyn. They are letting Kylie figure things out for herself.”

And while Kylie isn’t cutting Jordyn out of her life entirely, she’s also working to strengthen other friendships.

“She has been socializing more and trying to find a bigger circle of friends that she can be close with,” the source explained. “After the Jordyn drama, she realized that relying on just one friend is not the best idea.”

Meanwhile, Jordyn has kept herself busy and has been slowly reemerging into the public eye. The model was spotted out on numerous occasions over the past few weeks in Los Angeles and London.

The day before the Bootsy Bellows Paty, she appeared on stage with Smith during his Coachella set on Friday.

“Only @c.syresmith would perform on a flying Tesla. I’m so proud of you my guy!!! Here’s a shot of the moment a ran on stage,” Woods wrote on Instagram a day later.
