He continued: "We know what our relationship is, we love each other dearly. It’s been interesting how everyone has been trying to make something out of it but it’s fine.
"I mean, I would love to be dating Joey King, she’s dope.”
"I’m a huge fan of dating your friend, someone that you know and you trust because that’s where it all starts… with that trust.
"For me, non-sexual intimacy is so much more important to me at first. I’m all about the sensitive stuff…but it’s like, what’s the return on investment. If I’m investing this much time into someone I’m gonna be dating, I’m gonna make sure this is more than a three-month thing.”
Taylor has continued to praise Joey’s friendship since The Kissing Booth 2 dropped on Netflix, saying on her birthday she “welcomed her with open arms and love” from the day he joined the cast.
