On July 31st, a fan of The Summer I Turned Pretty took to TikTok to suggest that Taylor is pregnant. Sharing a clip of the scene where Taylor tells her mother, Lucinda, that she's staying with her to help her with the salon, they wrote: "THEORY: Taylor is pregnant."

Explaining themselves, they added: "1st being moody and hungry at the coffee shop, 2. The weird look after her mom said "but i'm the mom", 3. The showing of her stomach, 4. The immediate subject change, 5. The nervous sniffling."

The video has since been viewed over 9.9 million times. One person commented: "She’s pregnant it’s Steven’s they get married THE END."

However, another wrote: "And the way she is INSISTING on not needing Steven for anything !!"

People also spotted that Taylor didn't drink anything at Belly's bridal shower.

Speaking to Elite Daily, Jenny said: "I always knew how I wanted to end the books. But with the show, I went into it with an open mind."

Jenny added: "People will be like, 'Why are you changing that? That was working well!' But to me, it could always be better. That’s how I approach everything so naturally I was going into this story feeling like I wanted to make it even better and try new things."

As for the pregnancy theory specifically, Jenny told Variety: "I did see that. I have no comment."
