The Summer I Turned Pretty follows a tumultuous love triangle between two brothers and their childhood friend during a summer that changes everything, but in real life, many of the show’s cast members are in happy, long-term relationships.
The third and final season of the Prime Video show, which premiered on July 16, will finally answer the question fans who haven’t read Jenny Han’s popular book series have been eager to find out: who will Isabella “Belly” Conklin end up with, Conrad Fisher, or his younger brother, Jeremiah?
The two boys are played by Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno, respectively, and both actors are in committed relationships in real life. Briney has been dating his girlfriend, Isabel Machado, since 2021, and Casalegno hard-launched his wife, Cheyanne King Casalegno, after their November 2024 nuptials with a sweet Instagram post captioned, “FOREVER CAPTIVATED BY YOU🕊️.”
From Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno to leading actress Lola Tung, here’s everything to know about the real-life loves of The Summer I Turned Pretty cast.

Lola Tung stars as The Summer I Turned Pretty’s main character, Isabella “Belly” Conklin. Though she’s in the throes of a love triangle in the teen drama, Tung is single in real life.
As far as who her character will end up with, Tung told Entertainment Tonight in June 2022 that she believes Belly will make the right choice for herself.
“I’ve always been Team Belly, and I believe that she should go with whoever she loves the most, whatever her heart [says],” the actress shared. “Follow her heart, see where it ends up. They’re both very wonderful boys, and she has a hard decision to make.”

In the show, Christopher Briney plays Conrad Fisher, one of Belly’s two love interests. In real life, the actor has been in a dedicated relationship with Isabel Machado since they began dating in June 2021, a few years after they met while attending Pace University.
In October 2023, Briney explained to PEOPLE that the couple were friends before they began dating, and that’s how they knew a romantic relationship would work.
“We were friends first,” he said. “We went to college together and we lived together. We knew that we could do it.”

Gavin Casalegno has played The Summer I Turned Pretty’s Jeremiah Fisher — Conrad’s younger brother and Belly’s other love interest — since the start of the show in 2022. In the time since, he married his wife, Cheyanne King Casalegno.
The couple kept their relationship under wraps until the end of 2024, when they shared photos from their November wedding on Instagram.
Before tying the knot with his registered nurse wife, the actor spoke to Cosmopolitan in June 2023 about the intentionality he put into dating and how marriage had always been the end goal for him.
“Being an adult, I’ve learned what it means to just mature a little bit in the dating space,” Casalegno began. “You’re dating to marry, you’re not dating to just date. I think that gets lost a lot of times in younger generations.”
He continued, “I really try to be intentional with everything that I do as far as spending my time and gift giving and flirting and all these things.”

Sean Kaufman plays Belly’s brother Steven in The Summer I Turned Pretty. Though he isn’t in a romantic relationship, Kaufman has spoken about how he values the bromances he’s made on the show, especially with Briney and Casalegno.
In June 2022, he told Seventeen, “I love these two to death — they have become two of my closest friends over the past year, and I’m extremely thankful for that.”
“We’ve got so much in common,” the actor continued. “The three of us are crazy. I love them, we still hang out all the time whenever Gavin’s in New York.”

Jackie Chung stars as Belly and Steven’s mom, Laurel, in The Summer I Turned Pretty, and in contrast to her single-parent character, Chung is married to fellow actor Louis Ozawa in real life.
It’s unclear when they wed, but the couple met while filming a short film at New York University. Now, they share two children: Bodi and Tyrus.
Speaking to Forbes in April 2020 about the origin of their relationship, Ozawa said, “Jackie and I met at the callback. They paired the male leads with the female leads. It was kind of a bizarre romantic comedy.”

Playing Cam, a Cousins Beach local and Belly’s first boyfriend, in The Summer I Turned Pretty, David Iacono seems to be single — and, as of 2022, had sworn off dating apps.
“I don’t use it at all anymore, but I think my bio on Tinder was like ‘Wait, this isn’t cool math games?’ I thought that was funny,” he told PopSugar in June 2022.
“I do not like dating apps,” Iacono added. “They creep me out.”
