We have so much in common and we really love spending time together. I guess there was no moment, but I feel like the friendship kind of naturally was like, вЂOh hey, this person is super frickinвЂ™ awesome. We were so close and throughout filming, I was just best friends with Jacob. вЂњBy the end of dinner, we had like six inside jokes. вЂњWhen we first met, me, him, and Joel went out to dinner and we had the best, most fun night ever,вЂќ she said at the time. King revealed in an interview with Seventeen in May 2018 that a month into filming, around February 2017, was when she started to see Elordi as more than a friend. We were spending 17 hours a day together, and all of us would hang out after work and watch movies together and stuff. But before long I started to realize, вЂHey, I think I kind of like this person!вЂ™ It was such an interesting experience meeting your boyfriend on set because you spend so much time together and become so close so fast. вЂњRight away we were talking about gross things with each other (laughing). вЂњWas it love at first sight? Well, I thought he was very cute when we first met, but it started as a friendship,вЂќ she said at the time.

In a May 2018 interview with Bello, King revealed that, while she thought Elordi was attractive, the two started as friends before their relationship became romantic. King and Elordi met in 2017 while filming the first Kissing Boothmovie, which followed the love story of Elle Evans (King), a quirky, late-blooming teenager whoвЂ™s never been kissed, and Noah Flynn (Elordi), a bad boy high school senior and the older brother of ElleвЂ™s best friend, Lee. Since their split after the first Kissing Booth movie, fans have wondered: why did Joey King and Jacob Elordi break up and how awkward was it to film not one but two more movies with their ex?
