“The Summer I Turned Pretty” is the teen drama we’ve all been yearning for ever since we devoured Jenny Han’s cult-favourite YA series it’s adapted from. the Lola Tung-led seven-part show has been a long time coming. Thanks to Han’s active involvement in the newly released incarnation (she serves as co-showrunner), the screen adaptation is finally seeing the light of day thirteen years after the first book in the series came out in 2009.
The latest addition to Amazon Prime’s offerings, “The Summer I Turned Pretty” is a multigenerational drama that focuses on the protagonist Isabel “Belly” Conklin’s summer at the fictitious Cousins Beach, which serves as a jumping-off point for the teenager to not only explore the wondrous, confusing, and heart-stopping phases of young love but also to find herself. Season one sees Belly becoming entangled in a love triangle as she tries to figure out her true feelings for her childhood friends, siblings Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and Conrad (Christopher Briney). Following the June 17 premiere of the show, fans are wondering what these young actors’ love lives look like IRL.

Who Is Lola Tung Dating?
The leading lady of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” doesn’t appear to be romantically involved with anyone at the moment, or perhaps she’s just keeping her relationship status secret for now. Between landing the role of Belly and juggling studies at Carnegie Mellon College – from which she has taken a year off to finish filming “The Summer I Turned Pretty” – the 19-year-old actress‘s top priority probably isn’t dating. Now that the show has gotten the greenlight season two, her schedule is bound to get even busier.

Who Is Christopher Briney Dating?
Briney, who plays the older son of Susannah, Conrad, is dating actress Isabela Rose Machado. The pair both attended Pace University majoring in Acting For Film, Television, Voice Over, and Commercial, according to their official online resumes, so that’s likely that’s how they met. Their posts together on Instagram date back to 2018; however, it’s unclear when they became romantically involved. Machado recently hit the red carpet with her beau for the NYC premiere of “The Summer I Turned Pretty.”
