While they have a complicated friendship on Cobra Kai, the duo share a close bond behind-the-scenes. "Me and Xolo are like brothers," Jacob said to RAIN. Xolo shared similar sentiments when he posted about Jacob's birthday in March 2020. "Happy Birthday brother," Xolo captioned the post. "I love you with all my heart. I cant wait to be 70 when we live in Laguna with our wives and magic cards."
