Taylor Zakhar Perez comments on those rumours he’s dating his ‘The Kissing Booth 2’ co-star Joey King

Taylor Zakhar Perez comments on those rumours he’s dating his ‘The Kissing Booth 2’ co-star Joey King

Last month, after the release of Netflix’s The Kissing Booth 2, fans quickly began to speculate that Taylor Zakhar Perez (Marco) and Joey King (Elle) were dating. Not only did the pair tell Girlfriend they’re #TEAMMARCO, and look super cute together, they were spotted on a mini-vacation celebrating King’s birthday with her close friends and Taylor’s sister.

Then, in an interview with Glamour, Perez said he was single and jokingly admitted he is “a fan of Joey and wished that she would date me. I’m a huge proponent of dating friends or people you’ve had heart-to-hearts with before you become intimate.”

"We just kind of hit it off,” Perez continued about his friendship with Joey King to Entertainment Tonight. “When we were in South Africa [shooting the film], we had dinner together. I cooked for her, she cooked for me. We just became kind of like the best of friends."

The ending cuts out but we FREAKED OUT that we had 100% accuracy.

"I’m sure it was odd for her to go back into a production with someone that she dated," he added. "And so me being this new cast-mate and Joel [Courtney] being there and Meganne [Young], we kind of just all meshed really well together."

But, is the newcomer to the Netflix teen rom-com trilogy actually dating Joey King? Are the rumours true? Well, fellow Team Marco fans, we’re sad to report, any romance between the two will only be on-screen… for now.

Happy Friggen Birthday @joeyking Honestly I could write about this woman all day. 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 bettter actor, she shared her family with me, THE LIST GOES ON. Grateful for you forever. #tbt

"Last weekend we went to celebrate her birthday and a friend of mine’s birthday," he told Entertainment Tonight. "We just went together and had a good time."

"I love her. I love her dearly. I’d do anything for her," he added, before stating, "We’re not dating. I’ll end it with that."

Well, you heard here, folks. Taylor Zakhar Perez isn’t dating Joey King. But, maybe, he could date us?
