‘We’ve been together for a while’: Cobra Kai stars Peyton List and Jacob Bertrand CONFIRM they’re in a relationship, having been friends since they were teenagers
Cobra Kai stars Peyton List and Jacob Bertrand have finally confirmed the rumors are true and it’s an item.
Peyton, 23, and Jacob, 22, both spoke to TMZ after they were spotted walking around LAX this Tuesday.
Jacob joked that the photographers “got her” and told the website, “We’ve been dating for a while.”

It turns out they knew each other before they even appeared in the Netflix series, which premiered on the site in 2018.
“I mean, we’ve been friends for a while. When I met her when I was about 15. And I was actually close friends with her brother Spencer, so that was kind of awkward,” he said.
Jacob recalled, “I had to be like, ‘Hey man, I like your sister.’ But, yeah, we, I don’t know, had fun on set and then hung out off set.
He confessed that he “has never dated anyone I’ve worked with before,” so the experience of doing so now is “almost a test by fire” for him.

However, when asked who would be leaving Cobra Kai if they split up, he quipped, “I’m staying. I’ve been here a while and I’ve got a cool haircut, so.’
Peyton was also asked about the potential ramifications of dating a co-worker, and she laughingly joked that she would “think about the consequences later.”
She was also asked the same question as Jacob about whether either of them would have to leave the show if they split up in real life.

Peyton laughed in response and said, “No, I don’t know,” adding, “I don’t want to think about it,” as she made her way out.
Cobra Kai is a comedy spin-off of the Karate Kid films and even stars the original series’ leading child star, Ralph Macchio, in an adult version of his role.

Learn on the fly: He confessed that he’s “never dated anyone I’ve worked with before,” so the experience of doing so now is almost a “crucible” for him.
Although they don’t play a couple on the show, they’ve been at the center of a flurry of romance rumors for months.
She sent rumors into high gear on TikTok last May when a fan asked her to name her favorite Cobra character Kai, and she replied with a shy grin, “Hawk.”
