Who is Gavin Casalegno’s new wife Cheyanne? The Summer I Turned Pretty actor surprised his fans when he revealed he’d just got married to the nurse, who appears to be as devoutly religious as he is
The secret is out: Gavin Casalegno, star of The Summer I Turned Pretty, is married, having kept his relationship with wife Cheyanne out of the public eye for over a year
We love a man who hard-launches his girlfriend as she’s walking down the aisle, even if that breaks a million hearts. The Summer I Turned Pretty star Gavin Casalegno has just tied the knot in Los Angeles with partner Cheyanne King – and the world only found out about it when he posted snapshots from the big day on his Instagram account, captioned, “Forever captivated by you”.
This life update came as a shock to fans, who assumed the actor, 25, had been single since his split from model and actress Larsen Thompson in 2022. But in an interview with Cosmopolitan in 2023, he revealed his intention of “dating to marry”.
So who is Gavin Casalegno’s wife, Cheyanne Casalegno (née King), who has already changed her surname to his and who bears a striking resemblance to her man’s The Summer … love interest, “Belly” (aka Lola Tung)?
She’s a nurse
Per her LinkedIn account, Cheyanne Casalegno, 23, earned her bachelor’s degree in nursing from Baylor University in Texas in May last year. “I can’t wait to do ministry and love on people in the medical field and bring the light of Jesus into dark places!” she wrote on Instagram, celebrating her graduation. She is reportedly a first-generation college graduate in her family, passing her board exams last year to become a registered nurse.
How long did she date Gavin Casalegno for?
While Casalegno kept his relationship with girlfriend Cheyanne under wraps, she supposedly soft-launched him on Instagram as early as May 2023. In one post, she is seen holidaying with a “mystery man”, now assumed to be The Vampire Diaries actor, in Jamaica. Since then, he has made tantalising appearances in several of her Instagram posts and is said to feature in one of her Story Highlights – marked simply with a white heart – where moments from their romance are captured.
