Meanwhile, as Joey and Taylor often comment on each other’s Instagram post, during an interview with Glamour, Perez was questioned about his love life. In the interview, Taylor Zakhar Perez confirmed that he is 100 per cent single, but he did add that he would love to go out on a date with his co-star Joey King. When asked if he would date a fan, Taylor said, “I’m a fan of Joey and wish that she would date me, you know what I mean? I feel like it’s different if you’re in the same industry with each other and a fan of each other's work. I don’t want to say no because you never know. What if you date someone that doesn't know who you are but then becomes a fan of your work?"
