Gavin Casalegno is already looking ahead to the The Summer I Turned Pretty movie, but he is still weighing one key story choice from season 3. The 26‑year‑old actor told US Weekly he hesitated over Jeremiah Fisher’s fast rebound with new character Denise Russo following his broken engagement to Belly.
It might be a little too early for him to be jumping back into a relationship — if Gavin was giving advice. But he’s not, so whatever makes him happy. Go for it but I am definitely hesitant about a relationship for him.
He pointed out how little time passes between the called‑off engagement and Jeremiah’s next romance. His doubts arrive as the Prime Video hit readies a feature‑length finale and as his own life settles into newly married stability.
Everything We Know About The Summer I Turned Pretty Movie
Prime Video confirmed a feature film continuation of The Summer I Turned Pretty shortly after the season 3 finale streamed. Author and showrunner Jenny Han will write and direct (via Amazon), positioning the project as a definitive final chapter for Belly Conklin rather than a fourth television season.
Core cast members Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, and Casalegno will return, although Amazon has not announced a full ensemble or production timeline yet.
Confirmed cast as per Variety:
No release date has been set, and the film is currently in early development, making a 2026 premiere unlikely based on current information. Han told Variety that the script is underway and that she wanted the cast “a little bit closer to adulthood” before revisiting them in a new format. The movie will continue the narrative rather than reboot it, picking up after the events of season 3.
Story details remain under wraps, but the series finale left clear threads for the movie to follow. Season 3 ended with Belly reuniting with Conrad in Paris several years after their breakup, then flashed forward to warm holiday scenes that hinted at a more stable phase in their relationship.
Han has pointed to unresolved tensions between Conrad and Jeremiah and open questions for Steven and Taylor, indicating the film will explore the fallout from Belly and Jeremiah’s canceled wedding and the brothers’ changing bond (via People).
Gavin Casalegno And His Wife Celebrate 1st Wedding Anniversary
Away from Cousins Beach, Casalegno’s personal life has moved at a steadier pace than Jeremiah’s. The actor quietly married registered nurse Cheyanne King on November 12, 2024, in an outdoor ceremony on a Los Angeles hillside (via NDTV), sharing wedding photos only after the fact rather than making a public engagement announcement.

The intimate event featured a tall floral arch of pastel roses arranged in a curved shape, a reflective aisle lined with candles, and a strapless gown with a long tulle train for Cheyanne opposite Casalegno’s black tuxedo.
For their first anniversary in November 2025, the couple hosted a small gathering where they premiered their four‑minute wedding film, titled Casalegno Wedding, on YouTube for family and close friends. Guests watched the video at a candlelit watch party with a popcorn cart, heart‑shaped cakes, and a photo booth displaying black‑and‑white wedding stills (via People).
In the film, Casalegno becomes emotional as he talks about being “captivated forever” by Cheyanne, a faith‑centered relationship that progresses far more slowly than Jeremiah’s fast‑moving romances on The Summer I Turned Pretty.
