The Summer I Turned Pretty fans are giving Gavin Casalegno the side-eye, as his off-screen love life seems to mirror his on-screen persona a little too closely. Known for playing the charming but emotionally messed Jeremiah Fisher, Gavin has now found himself at the centre of real-life relationship rumours, with fans pointing out just how much his personal life is beginning to resemble the drama unfolding in The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3.
Gavin Casalegno and Larsen Thompson's relationship
Gavin Casalegno and Larsen Thompson were that low-maintenance, soft-launch couple everyone quietly rooted for. They started dating in early 2017—Gavin was still in his pre-TSITP era and Larsen already a runway regular with her signature red hair and killer dance videos. Their relationship had all the markers of a long-haul romance: sweet Valentine's posts, prom pics in 2019, anniversary tributes, and even a surprise Universal Studios birthday visit where Gavin jokingly 'proposed' with a Hershey's Kiss. For six years, they served quiet stability, showing up for each other on carpets and in cozy social media slideshows.
Then 2022 happened. There was no official breakup statement, but the signs were all there—deleted posts, unfollows, and a noticeable absence from each other's feeds. Their last known public appearance was at New York Fashion Week in February 2022, and by August, it was clear something had shifted. Fans were stunned. After six years of being each other's constants, the silence felt louder than any messy breakup ever could.
Cheyanne King and Gavin's marriage shocked fans
Just months after the split with Larsen Thompson, Gavin Casalegno surfaced on Cheyanne King's social media, even before fans knew they were dating. Then in November 2024, came the surprise: an Instagram wedding dump announcing they'd tied the knot. The speed shocked fans.
Some Reddit users pointed to on-set behaviour during The Summer I Turned Pretty production, as rumours of Gavin flirting with extras and potentially forming romantic connections before the marriage stirred debate. While none of these claims were confirmed, the overlap in timelines—the relationship ended, rumours emerged, then a new private union—made social media quick to call it shady.
Fans now see Gavin as a mirror of his on-screen persona Jeremiah
The drama got juicier when The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 revealed Jeremiah cheating on Belly. Fans couldn't help but draw parallels: onscreen Jeremiah breaks trust; real-life Gavin allegedly had overlapping ties while still 'publicly' single.
Recently, a video highlighting Gavin and Cheyyane's twisted relationship timeline made its way online, and fans couldn't help but point out how their quick marriage reminded them of Jeremiah.
One user wrote, "Damn, he gets more and more like Jeremiah every day."
Another user shared an interesting observation, writing, "He played a younger version of Damon in TVD. Both Ian and Gavin are problematic when it comes to relationships, apparently. Ian was obsessive about marriage as well. Apparently, Gavin is following in his footsteps. Both Damons are trouble." "He sucks in the show and in real life? WOw," one shared.
While these speculations have been circulating online, there's no confirmation to back them up. As of now, Gavin and Cheyenne appear to be going strong in their marriage. The couple recently bought their first home together, a milestone Cheyenne proudly shared on her social media, and they continue to look happy and settled in this new chapter of their lives.
