The Truth About Victoria Justice And Avan Jogia's Relationship

Fans have loved the chemistry between actors Victoria Justice and Avan Jogia since Nickelodeon's comedy series, Victorious, first aired in 2010. Their characters, Tori and Beck, kissed while in theater class at the end of the pilot episode, but despite four seasons of serious onscreen flirting, the so-called "Bori" never did officially date. Years later, however, fans got to see the pair play an actual couple in the 2017 teen comedy movie, The Outcasts. "We're super close," Justice told MTV News of reuniting with Jogia onscreen at the time, "and it was really cool to be able to share this experience."

So, with all that onscreen chemistry, what's the story with the actors' real-life relationship? From interrupting each other's red carpet interviews just to sweetly say, "Hi, I love you," to posting years of dance breaks online, to sharing tons — and we mean tons — of goofy and seemingly flirty moments, Justice and Jogia have clearly remained close since their Nickelodeon days. Fans have even named the pairing "Vavan," with hopefuls taking notice of their public outings and offscreen displays of affection.

While these two were in each other's lives even before Victorious started filming, having worked together on the 2009 flick, Spectacular!, Victoria Justice and Avan Jogia swear that they're just friends. Let's scoop out the truth about their real-life relationship.

If we really want to find out the truth about Victoria Justice and Avan Jogia's real-life relationship, it's best to go straight to the source. As Justice said in a joint 2010 interview with Popstar!, "Ever since I've met him, we've been really, really close. We just immediately clicked ... The kind of relationship that we have is like, we're just really comfortable with each other all the time, so I don't have to wear makeup around you." As Jogia teased in response, "Oh no, and I don't have to wear makeup around you either ... I just don't even wear eyeliner around you." 

At the time, the duo emphasized the obvious: that it's entirely possible for members of the opposite sex to just be friends. Whatever their feelings may have been for each other throughout their years of friendship, it should be noted that Jogia has been dating actor Cleopatra Coleman since around 2017 (via Showbiz CheatSheet). And while Justice is not publicly dating anyone at the time of this writing, she has been linked to a number of public figures, including actors Josh Hutcherson and Cole Sprouse, per the Daily Mail. That said, these two are definitely still close. 

These former Victorious co-stars are known to call themselves BFFS — but hey, even though things are clearly platonic between Justice and Jogia, who can deny their onscreen chemistry?
