Joey spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the struggles of having millions of people know about her personal life.

She said: "In this world, everyone wants to know your business and what you're doing,"

"I've publicly gone through some things, privately gone through some things, it's all about finding your balance, finding what makes you comfortable."

"And it can be brutal, but you know happy endings do come to those who are patient."

Jacob, who is rumoured to be dating his Euphoria co-star Zendaya, said it initially 'bothered' him people were so invested in his dating life, but he tries to not pay attention to it, as it has 'no affect' on his life.

He said: "Imagine the store around the corner from where you are now. Whatever people are talking about is not your business, it's kind of how it feels."

"Unfortunately, it just has my name involved in it but it literally has nothing to do with me. It just doesn't affect the trajectory of my life. So I just kind of ignore it."
