Selling the City‘s Jordyn Taylor Braff not only dated Trevor Noah in the past, but she thinks he stole some of her jokes.
During the first season of the Netflix series, which premiered on Friday, January 3, Jordyn, 34, opened up to Abigail Godfrey about her dating history.

“Love brought me here. It ended like many, many years ago,” Jordyn recalled. “He and I met on Twitter, which is so random. It’s not [a thing]. It should never be a thing. But I was here visiting and we met up.”
Jordyn recalled being “so nervous” to meet the former Daily Show host, adding, “He’s a celebrity but at the time he was a nobody. No one knew who he was. But I was so nervous that for some reason I was lunging down the street. And he was like, ‘This girl is weird.’”
Despite Noah’s success as a comedian, Jordyn said she was “the funnier one” in their relationship.
“Trevor borrowed me for material all the time,” she claimed. “I think I was the subject of jokes from time to time. But he would also steal my material — a 100 percent.”
Noah, 40, also helped Jordyn in her real estate career. “He ended up purchasing an apartment and it was my first ultra-luxury deal. I think it was a 10 million dollar deal,” she noted. “It is the only time you will ever hear I slept with a client.”
Jordyn concluded: “But it catapulted me past the rental and the lower-end sales and got me into luxury, which was awesome. Love kept me here but not love for him. It was love for the city.”
Selling the City comes from creator Adam DiVello, who is also behind the hit reality series Selling Sunset. In addition to Jordyn and Abigail, the new show follows Eleonora Srugo‘s real estate group at Douglas Elliman that consists of Taylor Middleton, Gisselle Meneses Nunez, Jade Chan and Justin Tuinstra. Former Million Dollar Listing New York’s Steve Gold, who currently works for The Corcoran Group, also makes appearances throughout the season.
Noah, meanwhile, rose to stardom when he became a Senior International Correspondent for The Daily Show With Jon Stewart. He succeeded Stewart, 62, as host and remained on the show for seven years before leaving to pursue other opportunities.
During his time in the public eye, Noah dated Dani Gabriel from 2014 to 2015 and Jordyn for four years before their split in 2018. He then found love with actress Minka Kelly, whom he was linked to for two years before their breakup in 2021.
Noah recently admitted that “it doesn’t bother” him “at all” being 40 and single.
“Society has deemed me a loser whether I like it or not. Being married is like you’ve served,” he said during a May 2024 episode of his “What Now?” podcast. “There’s a certain honor that comes with it. If you’ve never been married, there’s this weird thing that people do to you where they treat you like you’re not a serious person in life.”
Noah addressed the “ostracization” that comes with not being in a committed romantic relationship, adding, “So many things in society that are based around the plus-ones. I’m like, ‘This idiot got married six months ago. They don’t even know this person, and you’re going to tell me that I can’t come with my best friend, who I can tell you every intimate detail about?’”

Later in the episode, Noah advocated for more appreciation for platonic connections.
“There’s something romantic in this idea that we should be diversifying the portfolio of our emotions,” he continued. “Sometimes they yield benefits, and sometimes they add value to my holdings. … One of the great discoveries of my life [was realizing that] I did not need to be good at every aspect of friend-making. All I had to do is find somebody who wanted to be my friend who was really good at that element.”
