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).

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!
