'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.'

This was one of my all-time favorite moments shooting KB2. So much love.
Taylor said she's only a three or four minute drive from him so they've been hanging out during quarantine.
"So we just became a lot closer!"
The Marco actor also pointed out that they've been doing a lot of press together for the movie so that's another reason they're so close.
Meanwhile, Joey's ex and onscreen boyfriend Jacob Elordi has responded to claims he looks miserable in the movies.
