'The Summer I Turned Pretty's' Christopher Briney And Girlfriend Isabel Machado Were Roommates First
As an integral part of the love triangle that powers Amazon Prime's The Summer I Turned Pretty, Christopher Briney's personal life is of the utmost interest to fans. However, the 27-year-old actor does not have as many ups-and-downs off screen as he does in the hit series while playing Conrad Fisher. Briney has been consistently dating one woman for about half a decade now, actress Isabel Machado. Briney rarely talks much about their relationship in public, though he did celebrate her birthday in February 2025 with a carousel of photos, writing in the caption, 'my dear isabel turns 27 today 💓 thank you for always walking by my side, you make me the luckiest boy in the world.' Here's everything to know about the theater star and her relationship with Briney over the years, from friends to lovers. Isabel Rose Machado is originally from Chicago, according to her website. She moved to New York to attend Pace University, where she got her BFA in Acting for Film, Television, Voice Over & Commercial, graduating in 2020. While Machado has a number of screen credits, per her resume, she has a real passion for song and dance, which she incorporates in her theater work. She is a trained first soprano, can reach a high G note, play the piano, and has training in ballet, jazz, and modern dance. She even attended the Cecchetti Council of America for more dance training. Briney has also hyped up Machado's fashion sense, joking with People at the 2023 Women's Wear Daily Honors in October 2023, 'The biggest thing [Isabel has told me] is just wear something that you think is cool. Not something that you think someone else thinks is cool. It's hard to do that, easier said than done.' Machado added, 'And even when the fashion risks don't pay off. We support each other in anything. It doesn't matter—if it's a hell yes, it's a hell yes, and if [one of us] is going to do [something, the other] is going to support you.' Briney also starred in the newest film iteration of Mean Girls and shared during a 2023 red carpet interview with Access Hollywood at the premiere, 'I couldn't do it without her. I couldn't do anything without her. I don't think I could wake up without her. I'd forget how to breathe.' The pair met in school at Pace, becoming friends and even living together as roommates before getting together romantically. 'We were friends first. We went to college together, and we lived together. We knew that we could do it,' Briney told People. In an old TikTok, they can be seen doing a scene together, playing a couple going through a breakup. Machado's first public Instagram post from 2018 features Briney walking 'downtown' with her in New York. In a conversation for Interview Magazine, Briney shared, 'One of my girlfriend's first memories of me—we went to college together, and we didn't date until after college—it was when we were all at our college bar, and I was doing magic card tricks, trying to flex on people, which is absolutely absurd.' In June 2022, she joined him for the season one of The Summer I Turned Pretty, marking their red carpet debut. That was also the month Briney posted a tribute to their first anniversary, writing, 'a whole year!? i could never want anything else 💘' ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.

Here's why you should never name your baby one of these 3 common names, speech therapist says
Don't name them that. Millennial parents are using the '90s as inspiration for naming their newborns — which is fine, as long as they avoid three names in particular, according to a speech therapist. Chloe Conrad is a speech-language pathologist who often posts informative, helpful videos for parents on her Instagram page. In one of Conrad's recent posts, she shared three specific names parents should never consider naming their baby — and for good reason. 'Three names I would never name my child as a speech therapist: Rory, Rowan and Aurora. They're so hard to say,' the expert point-blank said in the video, which has garnered over 250,000 views. In the caption of the post, she provided some more context on her opinion: 'Basically any name with R and O in it next to each other. I LOVE the way they sound but struggle teaching a child to say them.' If you struggle pronouncing these challenging names — you're not alone. Many people in the comment section agreed with Conrad. 'My guess was Aurora before I ever heard it! Lol. I have the hardest time saying it! We had a little girl on our soccer team last season and even the parents yelling it sounded off to me! Lol.' 'lol I've always found Rory hard but I just realised I can't say Aurora at all.' 'So true lol all those Rs!' Conrad explained in an interview with why so many people struggle pronouncing these, rather simple-looking names. When there's a word or name that has a R before an O — most people struggle articulating these letters together. 'The W sound is made with rounded lips, and O is also a rounded vowel,' she told the outlet. 'So when you put the two together, it becomes increasingly difficult for a young child to produce clearly.' Thankfully, it seems that most parents are avoiding these tricky-to-pronounce names — and instead are opting for simpler names like Liam and Olivia. Liam has ranked No. 1 for boys' names eight consecutive years — while Olivia has taken the cake for girls' names for six years in a row. Aside from these two, old-fashioned baby names like Theodore, Oliver, Owen, Eleanor, Eloise and Margaret are back in style. 'I think vintage names evoke a sense of nostalgia. I get a lot of clients who pull out their family tree, looking to grandparents and great-grandparents for name inspiration,' Colleen Slagen, author of the forthcoming book 'Naming Bebe,' told Yahoo!

3 Baby Names Parents Should Never Use, According to a Speech Therapist
By the time you've ruled out exes' names, overused favorites, and anything that might invite playground teasing, the process of naming a baby can start to feel like a delicate balancing act. Now, a speech therapist is bringing another consideration to the forefront: pronunciation. Chloe Conrad, founder of Spunky Speech Therapy in San Diego, recently shared three names she knows she would leave off her baby name list. 'Rory, Rowan, Aurora,' she shared in a recent Instagram reel. 'They're so hard to say.' The issue, Conrad, 30, explains in a phone interview with involves what speech-language pathologists call facilitative context, the idea that certain vowel and consonant combinations can either support or hinder a child's ability to produce sounds, depending on how the tongue and lips are positioned. Some pairings are particularly tricky. Take R and O, for example. 'Most young children substitute a W for a R, which is completely developmentally appropriate,' she says. 'That substitution usually starts to resolve around age six.' But when R is followed by the vowel O — as in Rory, Rowan and Aurora — the articulation challenge increases. 'The W sound is made with rounded lips, and O is also a rounded vowel,' Conrad says. 'So when you put the two together, it becomes increasingly difficult for a young child to produce clearly.' Conrad also cautions against the name Laurel, noting that it contains two of the most commonly mispronounced sounds in early speech development: L and R. Both are part of a typical pattern known as gliding, in which children replace L and R with a W sound. 'That's why leaf might come out as weaf, or run might be pronounced as wun,' Conrad says. In addition, consonant clusters pose a particular challenge, according to Conrad. A name like Axl, with consonants grouped together without intervening vowels, demands precise and rapid coordination of the tongue, lips, and jaw — motor skills that children are still developing. Conrad was inundated with comments, many from followers who said they had guessed some of the names. "Said Rory in my head before you started talking," one person wrote. Added another, "Thought Aurora before you said it!" This article was originally published on Solve the daily Crossword
