He’s not afraid of a little PDA

Jono and Lavern’s relationship became public when they were seen making out at the Weinstein Company/Netflix SAG Awards afterparty at Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood on January 30. Laverne had just won the SAG for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series on OITNB, and Jono really helped her celebrate. The couple apparently danced and kissed the night away, and Jono even slapped her butt on the dance floor!

He has a great sense of humor

Jono’s films, stop motion projects, photography and posts all show off a wicked sense of humor. One of the best qualities in a person! A hilarious #TBT post showed him sitting with Laverne at the 2014 LOGO Trailblazers Honors, attempting to raise the roof while listening to Demi Lovato.
