Who is Lola Tung dating? Her secretive love life explored

Lola Tung had no acting credits when she landed the role of Belly in the romantic series The Summer I Turned Pretty. Her acting experience only came from student plays, yet she aced a completely virtual audition process to lead an Amazon Prime series based on a national bestseller by Jenny Han. 

Tung plays the role of Belly, a teenager who hopes her crush, Conrad, will finally notice her. Belly’s attempts to get his attention attract his younger brother, Jeremiah, who she considers a best friend. However, the strategic Jeremiah tugs at her heartstrings, drawing her into an unexpected love triangle. 

Lola Tung’s love life is nowhere near as dramatic as her character’s. She doesn’t appear to be dating anyone or is dating someone in secret. 

Tung found many similarities between her and Belly, allowing her to embody the character better. However, she told the New Yorker that her 16-year-old self wasn’t in a love triangle:

“I took a little bit from my own life and my own experience of being a teenager and feeling all the feelings that she had at the same time. Even though I was never in a love triangle, in the same way, there was sort of an understanding of what it’s like to be 16.”
