The fandom of The Summer I Turned Pretty has officially entered meltdown mode after a brand-new theory exploded online—and this time, it’s bigger than Team Conrad vs. Team Jeremiah.
Fans now believe Belly may be pregnant in the upcoming movie.
Yes, really.
The theory began after newly leaked footage showed Belly running toward Conrad in what appeared to be an extremely emotional scene. At first glance, the moment seemed romantic and innocent. But within hours, social media users began dissecting every frame, pointing to Belly’s oversized clothing, emotional reaction, and possible timeline jumps as “evidence” th
at the movie could be introducing a pregnancy storyline.
If true, it would be one of the biggest deviations from the original novels ever made.
In We’ll Always Have Summer, Belly’s story ends with emotional closure and a future-oriented resolution—but not pregnancy. That’s why the theory has divided the fandom so dramatically.
Some fans are thrilled by the possibility, arguing that a film adaptation should evolve beyond the books and explore the characters in adulthood. Others are horrified, fearing the story could lose the emotional subtlety that made the original trilogy resonate with readers in the first place.
The speculation became even more intense after fans connected the rumor to earlier leaked scenes involving engagement rings and possible flash-forward sequences. If the film really is jumping through different periods of Belly’s life, then a major life milestone like pregnancy suddenly feels… possible.
Still, there’s another side to the story.
Sources close to production suggest fans may be wildly overanalyzing footage taken completely out of context. Some insiders believe Belly’s emotional reaction in the leaked scene has nothing to do with pregnancy at all, but instead relates to a different revelation involving Conrad.
But by now, the theory has already taken on a life of its own.
TikTok videos discussing the rumor are spreading rapidly, fan edits are imagining future family scenes, and online debates have become increasingly heated. The situation perfectly captures the strange reality of modern fandom culture: sometimes the speculation surrounding a story becomes almost as important as the story itself.
And perhaps that’s exactly why this movie feels so massive.
Because fans aren’t just waiting for an ending anymore—they’re trying to predict an entire future.
