In To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before: P.S. I Still Love You, Lana Condor’s character is caught in a love triangle. While Lara Jean may be torn between her current boyfriend Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo) and childhood crush John Ambrose McClaren (Jordan Fisher), Condor faces no such dilemma. She’s been in a relationship with actor/musician Anthony De La Torre since 2015. Below, all you need to know on De La Torre and his romance with Condor.
He’s a fellow actor.
Like Condor, De La Torre is an actor who most famously played a young Jack Sparrow in 2017’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. He’s also appeared in episodes of the Nickelodeon series 100 Things to Do Before High School and the Starz show Vida.
The couple actually met at an entertainment industry function. During her February 2019 cover story with Cosmo, Condor spoke about meeting De La Torre at an Emmy nominees reception in 2015. His pick-up line? “Hi, I’m Anthony. I thought I would make a friend.” She described their initial meeting to the outlet as being “like a Taylor Swift song.”
Condor and De La Torre have been dating for four years.
Ever since their storybook meeting, De La Torre and Condor have stayed by each other’s side. The actress told Cosmopolitan UK that her beau is quite the romantic. “He writes me love letters all the time,” she told the outlet. “He’s the freaking best. He’ll leave me little messages taped to my bathroom mirror on days I have to wake up early for work. He once picked up my favorite take-out food after work and served it up properly on our kitchen table, with little sticky notes attached to each plate saying how proud of me he is.”
He’s also a musician.
In addition to being an up-and-coming actor, De La Torre is also a musician. He’s previously been in bands including DE LA TORRE and The Fell. In October 2019, he released a new song titled, “Know Me.” According to Seventeen, the track was written about Condor.
De La Torre and Condor could be releasing music together—and soon. On January 7, Condor shared a photo of the couple snuggled near a laptop. She captioned the Instagram post, “We’ve been working on a very special project for months now for you guys. It’s been blood, sweat, and tears. It’s been highs & lows & sobs & laughs but we’ve done it together, and that’s what counts 💪🏽. Building dreams together. Love your loved ones, love your strangers. We can’t wait to share with you so soon x.”
Speculation arose that the couple could be working on music together, further supported by De La Torre’s cryptic Instagram post. “Feb 19,” he captioned a shot of the pair, suggesting a possible release date for a duet.
For a time, To All the Boys complicated their relationship.
Condor told Cosmopolitan that when To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before was released in 2018, rumors about her and Centineo’s offscreen relationship persisted. “Noah and I definitely encouraged the speculation,” she admitted. “But it’s because we believe in the story and the characters, and we genuinely love each other. You can truly love someone in a very platonic way.”
But Condor said Instagram trolls would say “horrible things” about her real-life romance with De La Torre. “It was so hurtful for both of us,” she explained. “This is supposed to be a good thing. Why are you coming for someone who has no part of this story? If you say you support me, why would you hurt someone I love?”
For a while, De La Torre disabled his Instagram comments. But now, the couple seems to be handling social media pressure in stride. In August 2019, De La Torre even jokingly shared a photo with himself and Centineo, followed by a pic of Condor and co-star Madelaine Arthur. He captioned the post, “PK and LJ are even cuter in person.”
Also, his cute dog Instagram pics are a sight to behold.
When De La Torre isn’t writing Condor love letters or sonnets, he’s providing another public service. Namely, he’s sharing photos with his and Condor’s dog Emmy. Yes, she has an Instagram, and it’s the cure to all of your problems.
