Are Joey King And Taylor Zakhar Perez Dating?
Is there something going on between Joey King and Taylor Zakhar Perez? Fans certainly think so thanks to some pretty telling social media posts from the Kissing Booth 2 stars. Perez played Marco in the film and he and King, who played Elle, had some serious chemistry. Could it be because they are dating in real life?
The pair got together on July 25 to celebrate The Kissing Booth 2 being number one on Netflix. King revealed on her Instagram Story (via Just Jared) that she even got tested for coronavirus so that they could be together "Got tested just so we could hug today," she wrote.
As if that wasn't enough to send fans into a frenzy, Perez posted a picture of the pair looking pretty cozy on Instagram in honor of King's birthday on July 30. He also penned a heartfelt message to his Kissing Booth 2 co-star in the caption.
Joey King and Taylor Zakhar Perez seem pretty close
"Honestly I could write about this woman all day," wrote Perez. "She is the reason I joined the KB2 family, she welcomed me with open arms and love, she supported me, she pushed me, she made me laugh (like pee my pants laughter and had to check my underwear), she inspired me to be a better actor, she shared her family with me, THE LIST GOES ON. Grateful for you forever." King responded to the message in the comments. "Can't imagine my life without you," she wrote. "I heart you T."
On August 1, Perez posted a series of vacation photos on Instagram, noting that everyone on the group trip had tested negative for coronavirus. One of the pictures shows Perez and King hanging out under a waterfall. Are they just having fun together as friends or is there something more going on between these two co-stars?
This wouldn't be the first time Joey King dated a co-star. King previously dated her Kissing Booth co-star, Jacob Elordi, although the pair broke up before filming The Kissing Booth 2. Since then, King has been linked to producer Steven Piet, although, as Elite Daily noted, she hasn't posted any photos with him since March. Does this mean that the door is open for her to date Perez? For now we'll just have to wait to see if anything further develops between these Kissing Booth 2 co-stars.
