After the trailer premiered, for instance, fans worried that Steven (Sean Kaufman) might die in a car accident. (Thankfully, he lived!) There’s a running list of reasons why fans believe Belly (Lola Tung) and Conrad (Christopher Briney) will be endgame. And one of the latest theories to catch traction suggests that Taylor (Rain Spencer) might be pregnant!
As noted in a prior piece, for those who haven’t read The Summer I Turned Pretty books, several characters — including Steven and Taylor — didn’t have super strong presences in the text, which means anything can happen in the Prime Video series.
So far, Season 3 has seen Taylor helping her mom Lucinda (Kristen Connolly) get her business back up and running. And after the premiere revealed that Tay Tay and Steven were having an affair, they broke things off romantically after his accident. That said, with so much history together, the two clearly still have feelings for one another. And since Taylor is Belly’s best friend/maid of honor, her and Steven will have their fair share of future run-ins — especially as the wedding approaches.
So why do fans think Taylor is pregnant?!
In Season 3, Episode 4, “Last Stand,” Taylor decides to pull out of her internship in New York and use the money she’d be spending on housing to help clear her mom’s debt. When Lucinda finds out what her daughter’s done, she says she’s supposed to be the mom, not Taylor. So some fans wondered if Taylor’s paternal Season 3 instincts — among other things — could be foreshadowing a pregnancy.
“THEORY: Taylor is pregnant,” a TikTok video with over one million likes explained. “1st being moody and hungry at the coffee shop. The weird look after her mom said, ‘But I’m the mom.’ The showing of her stomach. The IMMEDIATE subject change. The nervous sniffing.”
A reasonable explanation for Taylor’s moodiness and her increased responsibility could simply be that she’s stepping up to help her mom while understandably going through it in her personal life! At the same time, after everyone — including Taylor — assumed that Belly was pregnant after learning she was engaged to Jeremiah, a different pregnancy twist this season would really catch everyone off-guard.
If the theory turns out to be true, the pregnancy could bring Steven and Taylor back together before the end of the series. And the twist would also show the college kids following in the footsteps of their parents, as Laurel and Lucina had children at young ages. If the pregnancy rumors are true, some even think that Steven and Taylor might be the ones getting married this season. But I have yet to be convinced!
Ultimately, we’ll have to wait and see what Jenny has in mind for Taylor (and Steven) in Season 3, but if you need me, I’ll be shipping Staylor (in an exclusive relationship, not whatever they were doing earlier this season) until the end of time.
New episodes of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 premiere Wednesdays on Prime Video.
