King, for her part, also took to her Instagram this weekend to share posts from her birthday. In one photo, the Ramona & Beezus star, who plays Elle Evans in The Kissing Booth and its sequel, posted on the beach in a bikini and a tiara. Perez commented, “HOLY $h!t.”

Perez played one of King’s love interests in The Kissing Booth 2, which saw a love triangle between Marco, Elle and Elle’s other other love interest, Noah Flynn, who was played by King’s ex-boyfriend Jacob Elordi. Elordi and King dated from 2017 to 2018. After Perez’s posts, fans wondered if King was dating another of her costars.

As of now, it’s unclear if King and Perez are dating IRL. After King and Elordi’s breakup in November 2018, it was rumored that the actress started dating producer Steven Piet (who worked with her on The Act) after the two were at an outdoor movie date. “They were very affectionate and were with her two sisters sitting watching the movie together. Joey and Steven cuddled the entire time and looked very happy together,” the source told E! News in September 2019. “They had snacks and drinks and were laughing with her sisters.”

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in July, King opened up about the pressure of dating in the public eye. “In this world, everyone wants to know your business and what you’re doing,” she said at the time. “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.”
