Taylor Lautner Reveals If He’s Team Conrad or Jeremiah & ‘Twilight’ Is The Reason for His Answer originally appeared on Parade.
Actor Taylor Lautner, who famously played one of Bella Swan’s (Kristen Stewart) romantic interests, Jacob Black, in the Twilight film franchise, is sharing his thoughts about another famous love triangle.
While speaking to People magazine in August 2025, Lautner shared that he and his wife, Taylor Dome, watch the Prime series, The Summer I Turned Pretty, which premiered in 2022. The series follows Belly Conklin (Lola Tung) who’s had romances with two brothers, Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno), at different times. In the show’s current third season, Belly is engaged to Jeremiah. However, she seems to still have feelings for Conrad, whom she dated for a few months about five years prior.
Lautner referenced that fans of the series are divided into two camps, Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah, which is similar to how Twilight fans reacted to Bella’s relationship with Jacob and her eventual husband, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). Lautner said he wants Belly to end up with Jeremiah because he thinks the character is similar to Jacob.
“My wife watches that show religiously. I would be lying if I said I didn’t … I’ve been watching this current season with her, so it’s been a fun thing. I don’t think she’s super excited about watching the show with me like she is with her friends, but I get it. I get it,” said Lautner to People magazine. “I feel like because of my roots, I have to be Team Jer. But that’s just because I feel like I have to. I feel like [Jeremiah] resonates a lot with Jacob. I know that’ll irritate a lot, a lot of fans.”
Lautner then shared he thinks his wife wants Conrad and Belly to end up together.
“I think my wife may be on the other team, and that makes sense because she was Team Edward as well,” said Lautner.
During a July 2025 interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, alongside Casalegno and Briney, Tong discussed the fans’ response to Belly’s love life. She said fans will often tell her if they are on Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah. She also clarified that she is “Team Belly, always.”
“I’m all for her following her heart and what she needs to do in the moment,” said Tong during the interview.
