While Belly constantly oscillates between dating Conrad and Jeremiah, the actress who plays her is single. Lola Tung is very private about her dating life. Some fans of the show may dream of her dating one of her costars, but she assures them they are just friends.

"Both Chris, who plays Conrad, and Gavin, who plays Jeremiah, are wonderful people and so easy to work with and so much fun to just be around," Lola told Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on TODAY in 2022. "I feel very lucky that we had such a wonderful friendship, and it worked out."

As for who Lola wants Belly to end up with in the end, she told Entertainment Tonight: "I've always been Team Belly, and I believe that she should go with whoever she loves the most, whatever her heart [says]." She continued: "Follow her heart, see where it ends up. They're both very wonderful boys, and she has a hard decision to make."

At the start of season three, Belly is dating Jeremiah Fisher, played by Gavin Casalegno. Jeremiah is happy-go-lucky and the king of their mutual college campus. Since the show started in 2022, Gavin has become a married man and tied the knot to his wife, Cheyanne King Casalegno.

The two didn't go public with their relationship until November 2024 after sharing wedding photos on Instagram. Gavin captioned a post of the two on their big day: "Eternal valentine."

Gavin and Cheyanne, who is a registered nurse, started dating in 2023. Just after the two made it official, Gavin told Cosmopolitan: "Being an adult, I've learned what it means to just mature a little bit in the dating space. You're dating to marry, you're not dating to just date. I think that gets lost a lot of times in younger generations."
