However, the inner girlie inside us certainly has a softer side for Gavin Casalegno’s character, the dreamy and ever-lovable Jeremiah Fisher.

This article will depict just how swiftly and effortlessly Gavin has managed to make a name for himself in a short period, thus becoming one of the most promising actors of his generation. Read on to find out information on Gavin Casalegno’s age, his movies and tv shows, and much more.

Who is Gavin Casalegno?

Gavin Casalegno is an American actor hailing from Dallas, Texas. He is most renowned for portraying the role of Jeremiah Fisher in the romantic-drama television series ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ opposite Lola Tung and Christopher Briney.

Gavin Casalegno Age and Appearance

As of July 2025, Gavin is 25 years old, and he will be turning 26 in September. 

Early Life and Background

Like most stars who make it big, Gavin was not born into fame, and his childhood was pretty basic but still extraordinary in the sense that it was filled with dreams. He was born in Dallas, Texas, with two younger siblings, including Ashlyn Casalegno – also an actress-cum-model. 

He completed his schooling at Lovejoy High School in Lucas, where he showed an active interest in both academics and his aspirations towards the entertainment industry. 

His first exposure to the industry however, came via a family friend when he was only four years old.  It was his mother Allyson who enrolled him in modelling for campaigns for brands like JCPenney. 

This early push was just the stepping stone he needed to get on board with showbiz, and by the time he was 7, Gavin was already on his way, working his way through various acting workshops before moving to Los Angeles for better opportunities.

Formative Years and other interests 

Although Gavin was pushed towards modelling from a young age, it might interest you to know that he was actually interested in sports as well. Despite the fact that he might have been a regular Joe who liked sports like any boy, he also had a creative streak that started to show up quite early. 

We suppose it’s the blend of interests that really makes anyone’s journey so unique, and Gavin is no exception to that as his experience shows that his journey was all about exploring different avenues and getting to the best place after careful exploration.

Relationship

Gavin Casalegno isn’t just winning hearts on screen—he’s found someone special in real life too. He’s been dating Cheyanne King, a registered nurse from Baylor University, since early 2023. The couple first appeared publicly on her Instagram. They had met for the first time via a mutual friend when both were in college.

The couple has been dating since then, and in November 2024, they tied the knot in a private ceremony in the hills of California. It was truly a vibrant yet intimate celebration.

Career

Not surprisingly at just around 7 years old, he was already in full-swing towards acting in commercials. His mother had managed his career and even travelled far and wide for auditions. His debut role came when he was 11 years old, where he played the young Shem in Darren Aronofsky’s movie ‘Noah’ in 2014. Having made an impact, he started appearing more regularly on screen, and for his next role, he played the young Damon Salvatore in The Vampire Diaries. Over the years, he went on to add more to the list. 

However, his breakout role came with Prime’s television show ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty,’ which launched in 2022 and has released its final season in June 2025.
