In fact, they’re sisters but they’ve never referenced each other on social media and they’ve never been photographed together either. They also don’t really speak or lean on each other when it comes to their careers. Jo also started acting before Katherine. Speaking to Refinery29, Jo said that if they were ever cast in the same project, she’d be in “one hundred percent.” (GP Images/Con, Gary Gershoff/Contributor)

The movie originally started a Wattpad fan fiction written by Anna Todd and was later turned into a movie starring Jo and Hero Fiennes Tiffin, who plays Hardin. Fun fact: Josephine was cast as Tessa just a week before filming began and originally auditioned for a different role. (Pablo Cuadra/Contributor)
Josephine stars alongside Hero in 'After'. The two met a week before filming began and didn't even have a chemistry read together because it was so last minute. But thankfully, it all worked out because fans can't get enough of their chemistry on screen. However, the two are not dating in real life. Sorry about it. (Jean Baptiste Lacroix/Stringer)
Josephine is incredibly private about her personal life and doesn’t share too much on social media. It's likely that she won't show too much of her personal and private life so don't expect to have an answer to this question any time soon. (via Instagram)
Yes! Josephine is on Instagram, you can find her at @josephinelangford. She’s not on Twitter. Speaking to Refinery29, she revealed that she’s not that into social media. “My brain has so many qualities that do not work with social media. I’m an overthinker, I’m overly private, and those two personality traits just do not work when it comes to Instagram.” (via Instagram)
According to various outlets, Josephine Langford has an estimated net worth of around $3m, as of 2022. Net worths are often very tricky to work out though. Thanks to her work on the After franchise, Jo's net worth will no doubt rise over the years. [PA Images]
