In early December, co-star Keke Palmer snapped the pair in a lip-lock, fueling speculation that they had turned their on-screen romance into a budding real-life relationship. While they have yet to confirm their status officially, Palmer alluded to some kind of coupling. 

"Billie and Taylor, they're pretty adorable," she told E! News in December. "I'll let them explain who and what they are, whatever they are. But they are absolutely adorable."

While Lautner can console the actress during this deeply difficult time, Lourd's aunt, Joely Fisher, has vowed to help keep her "whole" amid such loss. 

"In time she will be," she said of her niece in a tribute she penned to Fisher for The Hollywood Reporter. "She is smart and soulful and magic."
