If you've seen Disney's Descendants trilogy, then you know that Mal and Evie (otherwise known as the daughter of Maleficent and the daughter of Evil Queen, respectively) are totally wicked bestie goals. What you may not know, however, is that actresses Dove Cameron and Sofia Carson have just as close of a bond when the cameras aren't rolling. The two Disney darlings majorly bonded during their six years of filming the trilogy, and unexpectedly losing their cast mate and close friend, Cameron Boyce, in July 2019 has only seemed to bring them closer together. Check out the gallery for the star's sweetest quotes about each other over the years.

Dove on Sofia

Onhow she and Sofia supported each other after Cameron Boyce's death: "Me, Boo Boo, Cam, and Sofia still have our core four group chat active and open, as we have for 5 years. It's hard when there are no adequate words to express the pain we are all feeling, but the usual text is 'love you.' Or 'Are you eating?' Or 'How are we all today?' I think something like this horrible loss makes you realize how important you are all to each other. I am grateful for my chosen family at a time like this."
Onhow Sofia is always in tune with her emotions: "Sofia . . . can always tell when I'm in a bad mood."
Onhow she and Sofia mourned the end of Descendants together: "Sofia and I, we laid down on our big musical set, on the bridge. And we held hands, and we were like, 'Let's just stay here until the crew kicks us out.' And we did."

Onwhat Sofia and her Descendants family mean to her: "These past 6 years have been filled with more growth, more deep, true love and more vibrant LIFE, than most people experience in a lifetime and for that, I am forever grateful and forever indebted. I am humbled by the relationships I have made, the family I have found. To @sofiacarson, @booboostewart.art, and cameron. Words fail me. My heart is heavy with pain, and aching, agonizing love. My siblings. 6 years with the best. How did I get so lucky?"
Onwhy her relationship with Sofia and her other cast mates has persisted after Descendants: "We've all been around each other so much more recently than we usually are than when we're not doing the films. I think it's felt quite healthy, quite like, everything's still kind of the same. It's not. But if we can kind of feel like it is."
Inresponse to a fan who asked if she and Sofia are in love: "Yeah."

Sofia on Dove

Onwhy she approves of Dove's relationship with Thomas Doherty: "As long as she's happy, I'm happy is what I always say."
Onhow she can always tell what kind of mood Dove is in: "I can tell as soon as she walks into the trailer if she's having a bad day."
Onhow much she's grown to love Dove and her Descendants cast mates: "The whole cast has become like a family. When you share so much time together . . . you guys are just kind of bonded."

Onhow they complete each other: "Happy Birthday to the Mal to my Evie, the Purple to my Blue. Wishing you all the love, laughter, and happiness in the world."
Onwhy recording "Space Between" with Dove was so special: "It was a really long, late-night shoot, and it was just the two of us on set with Kenny [Ortega, Descendants director]. She cried, I cried, Kenny cried. It was a really beautiful scene."
Onhow strong their bond is: "I, like, love her. And stuff."
