Lana Condor has officially tied the knot with Anthony De La Torre! The beloved actress, known for her role as Lara Jean Song Covey in the popular To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before trilogy, said 'I do' to De La Torre during an intimate ceremony held at the serene Serra Retreat center located in Malibu, California, at the end of October 2023. According to Vogue, Condor, 27, wore a stunning wedding dress by renowned designer Vera Wang, which she had chosen two years earlier alongside her late mother, Mary Condor. Following her mother’s passing earlier this year, Condor reflected on this cherished memory, sharing, "My mom and I absolutely fell in love with my wedding gown the moment I tried it on and I am so grateful I got to share...memory in my heart forever."
The couple aimed for their wedding to be timeless and whimsical, emphasizing natural beauty and intimacy. Tying the knot above the Malibu mountains, they celebrated with family and friends, enjoying live music from Professor D of Jordan Kahn Music Company and delectable dishes catered by 24 Carrots. Two wedding cakes from The Butter End rounded off their celebration. To commemorate their union, the newlyweds also tattooed their wedding date on their arms — undoubtedly adding to the memory of this special weekend.
The love story between Condor and De La Torre blossomed back at the Emmys party where they first met in 2015. Their connection sparked quickly, and they became Instagram official weeks later, already hinting at their romantic chemistry. Excitement surrounded their engagement announcement back in January 2022, with Condor sharing the depth of her feelings for her future husband, stating, "He was my warrior rock...I just always want to be by his side."
While wedding bells rang for Condor, the excitement didn't stop there! Noah Centineo has returned as the fan-favorite Peter Kavinsky for the second season of the Netflix series XO, Kitty. This cameo appearance has fans of the To All the Boys trilogy buzzing with excitement. Centineo himself admitted to PEOPLE magazine about the nerves he felt stepping back onto the screen as Kavinsky, calling the opportunity "extremely scary." He expressed his loyalty to the original franchise and admitted the passionate following surrounding it made returning to the role all the more challenging.
Demonstrative of how much he cares, Centineo expressed his admiration and support for Anna Cathcart, who stars as Kitty. "I love Anna so much. She's just doing such incredible job — I joke and say she was literally the most hardworking person on all the films for To All the Boys,” he said. This camaraderie speaks volumes about the off-screen relationships forged during their time together. Centineo appreciated Cathcart’s professionalism and dedication, adding, "She deserves it all."
The magical moment of Centineo’s cameo was orchestrated serendipitously. While filming his Netflix series The Recruit in Seoul, producers for XO, Kitty reached out for the cameo opportunity. Centineo recalled his response to the producers when they asked him if he would participate: "I said, 'Absolutely.'" The timing couldn’t have been more perfect, and fans are thrilled to see him back on their screens.
Season 2 of XO, Kitty is currently streaming on Netflix, allowing fans to relish again the romance and drama of Kitty’s story, with Peter Kavinsky adding to the nostalgic vibe. This season promises connections and re-connections as fans witness the intertwining lives of characters they’ve grown to love.
