It is always heartwarming to see co-stars be good friends off-screen. That is surely the case for “Kissing Booth” actors Joey King and Taylor Zakhar Perez. The two attended the SAG Awards 2025 in Los Angeles on February 2023 together, making a stylish arrival on the red carpet. The duo co-starred in the romantic comedy franchise’s second and third films. While they played love interests in the movie, the pair became best friends in real life.
It was only natural that King and Perez set friendship goals at the SAG Awards 2025. This moment was extra special for them as it marked their second consecutive red carpet appearance at the awards show. Even before their arrival, King took to her Instagram Stories to reveal that her “Kissing Booth” co-star is her “date.”
She further gushed about their friendship on the red carpet. While speaking to Variety, King revealed that she was his “plus one” at the SAG Awards last year while he was hers this year. Reflecting on their long-standing friendship, the actor called Perez one of her “best friends.” She said, “We lift each other up, we’re each other’s great hype men, which is nice.”
Joey King also shared that having Taylor Zakhar Perez by her side at the SAG Awards 2025, where she was one of the presenters, also meant a lot. Calling her co-star “the sweetest, most wonderful person,” the star agreed that they share the same sense of humor.
The “Kissing Booth” co-stars also delivered immaculate fashion on the red carpet. According to WWD, King wore a reworked Miu Miu dress that featured sheer panels, a blue collar, and crystal embellishments. Meanwhile, Perez wore a classic black suit with a crisp navy blue shirt.
