You and your group chat are cool and whatever, but have you been lurking on Ayo Edebiri and Kaia Gerber’s friendship? Because we want what they have. Specifically, someone to go on the Cars ride at Disneyland with—but only after getting matching tattoos and starring in an iconic movie together. It’s, like, not asking for much!!!!!
On that note, here is a complete timeline of Ayo and Kaia’s friendship for you to be jealous of.

February 4-5, 2024
Ayo hosts Saturday Night Live, and Kaia shows her support via T-shirt.
The pair then get matching tattoos to celebrate the occasion, which Kaia opens up about to E! News.
“It’s pretty fresh,” Kaia says in the below video. “I went to see her on SNL and she did such a wonderful job. The next day, I thought she would just stay in bed and kind of relax after what I know is a very intense week, but she was like, ‘We’re getting tattoos.’ And whatever she says, I do.”

Kaia and Ayo celebrate Kaia’s birthday with friends at Disneyland...specifically on the Cars ride, where a truly incredible photo is taken (swipe).
By the way, Ayo comments on this post with “pretty sure this is a deep fake....would NEVER be caught screaming so passionately on the Cars™ ride...what the.....”
To which Kaia responds, “I’ve started a narrative that we are close friends. I’ve spent months becoming well-versed in AI technology so I could deep-fake you into the cars ride at Disneyland. I will be deleting your comment as those are months of my life I can never get back.”

Kaia reveals Ayo won’t give her her number. Iconic behavior, I fear.
And that brings us up to date on these two! Stay tuned for more fodder for your parasocial friendship with them. :)
