Jennifer Lawrence has finally shared her take on one of the most heated love triangles in recent teen drama history: Conrad or Jeremiah in The Summer I Turned Pretty? Without hesitation, she’s declared herself Team Jeremiah, even if her friends begged her to stay neutral. And just like that, a new voice joins the fandom war.
Jennifer Lawrence picks her side — and she’s firm about it
You’d think Oscar winners might steer clear of teenage drama. Not Jennifer Lawrence. In a recent statement that’s already making waves, the actress admitted: “I have been ordered by all of my friends to not reveal this, but I am Team Jeremiah. I am.” And she didn’t stop there. She backed up her choice with a passionate takedown of Conrad, the brooding older brother played by Christopher Briney.
“He kind of liked [Belly] but then didn’t,” Lawrence said. “He left her hanging. For him to confess his love for her the night before her wedding is sick.” Ouch. That one stings, especially for fans who’ve spent hours defending Conrad’s emotional walls. She doubled down: “Rake me over the coals.”
Honestly, it’s refreshing to hear this kind of raw take from someone in Lawrence’s position. She’s basically saying what a lot of Team Jeremiah fans have been thinking since season one: being emotionally unavailable isn’t romantic—it’s exhausting.

A twist of fate: The story still sides with Conrad
Despite Lawrence’s strong support for Jeremiah, the third season finale of the Prime Video series stayed faithful to the source material by Jenny Han. Belly, played by Lola Tung, ends up choosing Conrad in the end. It’s a decision that stirred familiar reactions online, with some fans cheering—and others yelling at their screens.
If you’ve read the books, you saw this coming. Jenny Han isn’t one to stray from her original arc. But for many viewers discovering the story through the show, seeing Belly pick Conrad after all the emotional back-and-forth felt like a betrayal. At this point, it’s more than just a ship—it’s a question of growth, stability, and who really shows up when it matters.
Gavin Casalegno responds—and he’s grateful
Jeremiah himself—well, Gavin Casalegno—clearly appreciated the attention. Soon after Lawrence’s statement circulated, he reposted her quote on Instagram Stories with the caption: “I knew there was a reason I’ve always been Team JLaw.” Smooth.
He didn’t shy away from the criticism either. Jeremiah’s had his share of bad decisions (cheating rumors and a possible rivalry-fueled motivation), but Casalegno offered a grounded take: “We all make mistakes. Some big, some small, but at the end of the day, we’re all growing and learning and I think that’s the most important thing.”
He also added something that might sound simple but rings true: “People will say it’s predictable and they want that danger, but I think ultimately you end up marrying your best friend.” I have to say, that struck a chord with me.

The last chapter is on its way — and it’s heading to the big screen
Even though the series finale wrapped up the three-season arc, Prime Video has confirmed that Belly’s story isn’t over yet. A feature-length film is in the works, signaling the true final chapter of the saga.
Jenny Han will write and co-direct the movie alongside Sarah Kucserka. Her words suggest big emotional territory ahead: “There is another big milestone left in Belly’s journey, and I thought only a movie could give it its proper due.” And she’s right. When a story builds such emotional weight over time, sometimes you need more than a finale—you need a real goodbye.
Details about the film’s plot are still under lock and key, and Han remains tight-lipped about whether Conrad really is the ‘endgame’. When asked directly, she simply said: “People will just have to wait and see.” That’s diplomacy or suspense—we’ll find out soon enough.
Where fans stand today — the eternal split between brothers
Even after three seasons and countless Tumblr posts, Reddit theories, and TikTok edits, the divide between Team Conrad and Team Jeremiah remains sharp. And Jennifer Lawrence’s team pick has only stirred the waters further.
To recap the current state of play:
- Team Jeremiah fans value warmth, reliability, and steady love.
- Team Conrad fans defend depth, history, and the promise of transformation.
- The show’s canon stays true to the books: Belly chooses Conrad.
- The final film may yet shift the tone or confirm that choice for good.
As someone who grew up devouring teen dramas in all their messy glory, I love how this show turns a simple love triangle into something viewers really care about. It’s more than “who gets the girl.” It’s about how people heal, how they grow, and how we decide who deserves our hearts.
Whether you’re Team Jeremiah, Team Conrad, or just Team Belly’s happiness, this story still knows how to hook an audience. And like Lawrence, I’ll admit it: I like my teen angst best when the guy actually shows up for her, not just when it’s too late.
