The love triangle in The Summer I Turned Pretty continues to divide viewers, but for many fans, the answer has always been clear: Belly and Conrad share something deeper, stronger, and ultimately unbreakable.
While both brothers bring different qualities to the table, supporters of Conrad argue that the story itself has always centered on one powerful connection.
And they believe that connection was never meant to be temporary.
A Special Relationship From the Very Beginning
From the first summer at Cousins, the bond between Isabel “Belly” Conklin and Conrad Fisher feels different.
It’s layered with history. Childhood memories. Lingering glances. Unspoken words.
Their chemistry isn’t just physical — it’s emotional. There’s a gravity between them that pulls them back together no matter how far they drift apart. Many fans describe it as a “special connection,” something that goes beyond timing or circumstance.
To them, the show isn’t just telling a love triangle.
It’s telling their story.
Growth, Change, and Sacrifice
Supporters of Conrad often point to one major detail: he changed.
After losing Belly, he reflected. He matured. He worked on himself. And notably, he wasn’t with anyone else after being with her. For fans, that loyalty speaks volumes about the depth of his feelings.
They argue that his love was steady and enduring — even when he struggled to express it properly.
He didn’t always say the right thing.
He didn’t always handle emotions perfectly.
But he loved her consistently.
And sometimes, growth is the clearest proof of love.
The Jeremiah Controversy
On the other side of the debate, critics of Jeremiah Fisher argue that his actions weakened his case.
Some fans feel he often acted out of insecurity, stuck in the shadow of his older brother. The “I’ll never measure up” mindset shaped many of his choices, especially when it came to Belly.
The most controversial point remains the “break” situation — whether it counts as cheating or not. For some viewers, sleeping with someone else during that time permanently damaged trust.
Add to that the way his friends reportedly spoke about Belly after the broken wedding — and the perception shifts even more.
To critics, love isn’t just about being chosen.
It’s about protecting the person you love, even when things fall apart.
Are They Meant to Be?
For Team Conrad, the answer is simple.
Belly and Conrad have:
A lifelong history
A powerful emotional connection
Visible chemistry
Personal growth arcs that align
And a love that keeps circling back
They don’t see it as coincidence. They see it as destiny.
In their eyes, Belly and Conrad weren’t just a phase. They were endgame — the kind of couple that should grow up, get married, and build a family rooted in shared history.
Because when you strip away the drama, the miscommunication, and the heartbreak, one thing remains constant:
Some connections change your life forever.
And for many fans, Conrad changed everything.
