In a twist that caught many by surprise, Cobra Kai’s star actress Peyton List asserted her relationship boundaries, rebuffing she ain’t interested in dating Leonardo DiCaprio. She firmly stated already having a boyfriend, showcasing her loyalty for her relationship while also maintaining professional integrity.
List’s decision resonated widely, prompting reflection on the various questions celebrities encounter and the importance of setting boundaries in the spotlight of fame.
Peyton List Dishes on Love Life, Loyalty, and Leonardo DiCaprio
Cobra Kai’s Peyton List just delivered a black belt-worthy response when asked about a potential date with Leonardo DiCaprio while taking a lie detector test for Vanity Fair in September 2022.
Her answer? A cool, collected “Our age difference is a little too much. I also have a boyfriend,” proving her loyalty goes way beyond the dramatic brawls of the dojo. But who is this mystery beau, and how did this Cobra Kai romance blossom?
List and her co-star Jacob Bertrand are the real deal, and their relationship is a slow-burn fans can truly root for. They’ve known each other for nearly a decade, their friendship forming on the set of a Disney Channel movie.
Fast forward to 2022, and their off-screen chemistry was undeniable. By the end of the year, it was clear that they got along pretty well. There was a lot of talk about List’s showing on the red carpet and her sweet IG post for Bertrand’s birthday, which led to a playful confirmation to TMZ at LAX. Bertrand joked, “You got me in 4K; we’ve been dating for a while.”
There was more to List’s answer to Leonardo DiCaprio‘s question on the lie detector than just a denial. It showed how close she was to Bertrand. The actress even joked that she would be open to dating a co-star (looking at you, Jacob!) and that she would swipe right on her boyfriend on a made-up dating app.
So, a date with DiCaprio might have been appealing for Hollywood reasons, but List’s love for Bertrand and loyalty to him shone through. Their real-life friends-to-lovers story’s a refreshing change of pace, proving sometimes the best romances develop right under our noses (or, in the case of List and Bertrand, on a karate dojo set).
Who is Cobra Kai Star Peyton List Dating?
Fans who adored Peyton List and Jacob Bertrand’s relationship on Cobra Kai may be in for a heartbreaking surprise. Word on the street is that the couple is no longer together (via j-14). While none of them have officially said anything about the split-up, missing IG pics and radio silence fueled speculation.
Before potentially striking out with her Cobra Kai co-star, List was involved with Shameless star Cameron Monaghan. In 2019, two years after they met on the set of Anthem of a Teenage Prophet, their relationship ended. As for her current dating scenario, there’s no clear answer. This Disney starlet is definitely not talking about her love life just yet!
