So, you’ve been binge-watching The Summer I Turned Pretty (TSITP) and suddenly had a wild thought: how old are these people, really? Don’t worry—we’ve all been there, squinting at the screen between dramatic beach scenes and emotional volleyball matches. Let’s crack this delightful mystery together, because knowing their ages makes the show even more fun to obsess over.
The Core Trio: Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah
Lola Tung (Belly) was born in 2002, making her 22 or 23 during the latest season. Christopher Briney (Conrad) is a 1998 baby, so he’s around 26—still young enough to brood dramatically, right? And Gavin Casalegno (Jeremiah) is the baby of the trio at 24 (born 1999), which perfectly matches his golden-retriever energy.
Here’s the kicker: they play high schoolers and college freshmen, because Hollywood magic is real. Don’t let that throw you off—age is just a number when the vibes are this immaculate. It actually makes you appreciate their acting chops even more.

Jackie Chung (Laurel) is a brisk 41, while Rachel Blanchard (Susannah) is 48—both radiating that cool-mom aura that makes you wish they were your aunt. Now for the boys’ dad: Colin Ferguson (Cleveland?) is a sprightly 51, proving that salt-and-pepper hair can be absolutely devastating. Even Steven’s actor, Rain Spencer, is a surprising 27, which means she’s been stealing scenes while secretly being a whole decade older than her character.
Why does this matter? Because it lets you play a fun game while watching: spot the actor who’s clearly been drinking coffee for a few extra years. It’s like a treasure hunt for grown-ups.

The Real Secret: It’s All About the Vibe
Here’s the truth: nobody cares about exact ages when Belly is crying on the beach or when Conrad gives that smoldering look by the bonfire. The show works because the actors embody the messy, hormonal, epic feelings of youth—even if they’re technically old enough to rent a car. In fact, that’s the magic: they bring adult nuance to teenage chaos.
So stop Googling birth years mid-episode (or don’t, I’m not your mom). Instead, enjoy the ridiculous, beautiful lie that these very grown humans are still figuring out first kisses and summer flings. It makes life more fun when you remember that age is totally negotiable in fiction.

So the next time you feel “too old” for something, remember: Lola Tung was almost 22 playing a 16-year-old and nailed it.
