During a BBF test with Buzz Feed, Jonah was asked when his Little Mermaid co-star Halle Bailey's star sign was, and his reply confirmed his relationship status. "I have to say, this is a bit of a cheat because, as you know, Halle has the same birthday as my girlfriend, so that's why I remember," he said. "That's why he knows everything, see!" replied Halle.
