On his page, Pietwrote, “The weather was less than perfect. Cold. Windy. Perfectly imperfect to ask my best friend to spend a lifetime together. A lifetime of incredibly safe and vulnerable conversations. Holding hands on silent cab rides home, exhausted from great food and red wine. And oh, the laughter. The uncontrollable laughter.”
“You’ve unlocked a dimension of love in me that I never knew existed,” he added.
King, who previously datedKissing Boothcostar Jacob Elordi before breaking up in 2018, said in 2020 that she wouldnever date another actor again. “No. I couldn’t. I think that it’s awesome to date someone in your field, who gets it, but doing the same exact thing as somebody is tough. It’s really tough,” she saidon SiriusXM’sHoward Stern Showat the time.
