The horror sequel ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ has thrilled audiences with its secrets and scares on the big screen. Behind the scenes, the cast members have their own love stories that are much less terrifying. Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, the movie is a continuation of the 1997 horror classic, introducing a new group of teens haunted by a deadly secret after a hit-and-run on graduation night.
Madelyn Cline stars as the confident queen bee Danica Richards, and while her character may have romances on screen, in real life, she is single. Cline has shared that her busy travel schedule has made it challenging to date, prioritising her career over relationships at the moment. She has been linked to celebrities like Chase Stokes, Jackson Guthy, and Pete Davidson in the past, but is currently enjoying her independence.
Chase Sui Wonders, who portrays the grounded Ava Brucks, is also navigating the single life after a previous relationship with comedian Pete Davidson. Despite the allure of Hollywood romance, Wonders has expressed a desire to steer clear of highly-publicised relationships and remain focused on her career.
Jonah Hauer-King, playing charming Milo Griffin, has been in a long-term relationship with film editor Ellie Fenn since 2019. The couple prefers to keep their personal and professional lives separate, prioritising their individual growth and careers. On the other hand, Tyriq Withers, who brings the brash Teddy Spencer to life, is currently unattached, with hopes from the producer for on-set romance to blossom, echoing the love story that emerged from the original 1997 movie.
Sarah Pidgeon, who portrays Stevie Ward, keeps her dating life private, revealing only that she was in a relationship as of 2024. Meanwhile, Joshua Orpin, playing Danica’s fiancé Wyatt, has been with his girlfriend, Asha Rosie Khan, since 2014, celebrating a decade of love and companionship.
The original stars Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar, reunited on screen as Ray Bronson and Julie James, have a real-life love story that began on set in 1997. Despite an initial rocky start, the couple fell for each other and got married in 2002, now raising two children and crediting their strong marriage to simple yet meaningful moments together.
Jennifer Love Hewitt, reprising her role as Julie James, found love with actor Brian Hallisay after meeting on a TV show set in 2011. They have since built a family together with three children and recently introduced their kids to the horror film that kickstarted Hewitt’s career in the ’90s.
As the cast of ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ continues to captivate audiences with their thrilling performances, their real-life loves and relationships add a touch of romance and sweetness to the mix. From long-term commitments to thriving careers, these actors show that love can flourish both on and off screen, creating a balance between work and personal life that keeps them grounded and fulfilled.
