Despite fans hoping for a real life romantic reconciliation between “Kissing Booth 2” stars Joey King and Jacob Elordi, the pair are just friends now.
In a new interview, King, 20, and Elordi, 23 — who reportedly dated for more than a year before calling it quits in 2018 — share that while they haven’t gotten back together, they learned a great deal from their experience dating while under the watchful eye of the public.
“In this world, everyone wants to know your business and what you’re doing” King told Entertainment Tonight, while promoting the rom-com alongside her ex and co-star. “And I think it’s very interesting when you go through things and people kind of feel like they’re owed an explanation, but I understand.”
She added, “For me, I’ve publicly gone through some things, privately gone through some things, it’s all about finding your balance, finding what makes you comfortable. And it can be brutal, but you know happy endings do come to those who are patient.”
Elordi — who has most recently been linked to “Euphoria” co-star Zendaya — admitted that he’s “bothered” by the fact that so many people are interested in his every move.
“Just even the fact that somebody you don’t know knows your name could be quite disembodying,” he explained. “But then eventually, for me personally, it’s got nothing to do with me, you know?
“Imagine the store around the corner from where you are now,” he continued. “Whatever people are talking about is not your business, is kind of how it feels. Unfortunately, it just has my name involved in it but it literally has nothing to do with me. It just doesn’t affect the trajectory of my life. So I just kind of ignore it.”
King has been linked to television producer Steven Piet, but like Elordi, has yet to confirm the whispers. E! reports the rumored couple met while filming Hulu mini-series, “The Act.”
