If you’ve been watching The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, you already know the drama is intense. But this time, the big question isn’t about Belly’s love triangle or Conrad’s mood swings. Instead, all eyes are on Taylor, Belly’s best friend. And fans can’t stop asking: Is Taylor pregnant?
The theory has taken over social media, with fans dissecting every scene for possible hints. From subtle glances to offhand comments, nothing escapes this fandom’s watchful eyes. So, how did we get here, and is there actually something to this speculation?
Even before the season dropped on Prime Video, the speculation machine was in full swing. When the trailer for Season 3 came out, viewers started sharing wild predictions, from Steven’s possible death in a car accident (false alarm) to Belly and Conrad finally ending up together.
But one theory slowly gained traction: Taylor might be hiding a pregnancy. At first, it seemed like a stretch. Then, small moments in the episodes started piling up.
In Jenny Han’s original book series, Taylor wasn’t a major character. The show, however, has given her more depth. This creative freedom means the writers can give Taylor completely new storylines, which never happened in the books.
That’s why fans are watching her arc so closely. Anything could happen.
Season 3 revealed that Taylor and Steven were secretly hooking up. After Steven’s accident, the two decided to end things romantically, but it’s obvious they still care about each other.
Now, with Belly’s wedding approaching, they keep crossing paths. Fans suspect this connection might lead to something much bigger, especially if Taylor is pregnant.
Key moments that sparked the pregnancy theory - The Summer I Turned Pretty, Season 3, Episode 4 – “Last Stand”
This episode really fueled the theory. Taylor makes a huge decision: she cancels her summer internship in New York City and uses her saved housing money to help her mom, Lucinda, pay off debt.
When Lucinda finds out, she says something that hits fans hard: “I’m supposed to be the mom, not you.” This made some viewers wonder if Taylor’s new level of maturity was about more than just helping her mom in The Summer I Turned Pretty.
Taylor’s arc this season shows her stepping into more adult responsibilities. This mirrors the show’s older generation; both Laurel (Belly’s mom) and Lucinda (Taylor’s mom) had kids when they were young.
Could history be repeating itself? Some fans think so.
Of course, there’s a less dramatic explanation in The Summer I Turned Pretty. Taylor could simply be:
- Overwhelmed by her mom’s financial struggles
- Emotionally drained from her breakup with Steven
- Stressed by all the wedding chaos
All of these could explain her mood and behavior without pointing to pregnancy.
This isn’t the first time The Summer I Turned Pretty has played with pregnancy speculation. Remember when Belly’s engagement to Jeremiah made fans think she might be pregnant? That theory turned out to be false, but it kept people talking for weeks.
The writers clearly enjoy planting seeds that may or may not grow into major plot twists in The Summer I Turned Pretty.
If Taylor is pregnant, it could completely change her arc in The Summer I Turned Pretty:
- She and Steven might get back together
- Their storyline could parallel their mothers’ lives
- It would give her character a serious, emotional turn
It might even lead to the shocking possibility that Taylor and Steven, not Belly and Jeremiah, are heading for a wedding.
Jenny Han has a knack for well-timed twists. She’s not likely to confirm or deny anything until the perfect moment. That’s why fans are glued to every scene, waiting for the bomb to drop in The Summer I Turned Pretty.
So far, neither Han nor the showrunners have addressed the theory. Silence from the top only fuels the speculation.
With new episodes of The Summer I Turned Pretty dropping every Wednesday on Prime Video, there’s plenty of time for the show to reveal, or completely debunk, this theory. Until then, the guessing game continues.
Right now, the idea that Taylor is pregnant in The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 is just a theory, but it’s a theory with some intriguing clues behind it. Whether it’s stress, responsibility, or a hidden secret, Taylor’s arc is one of the most talked-about parts of the season.
One thing’s for sure: this mystery isn’t going away until we get answers.
