How old was Lana Condor when she filmed To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before?

The short answer: 20. The longer answer involves a birthday, a production schedule, and a Netflix release that landed two years after filming wrapped.

When was Lana Condor born?

  • May 11, 1997 — the birth date listed on her IMDb profile (IMDb (film database)).
  • Born in Cần Thơ, Vietnam, and adopted as an infant.

That date does the math for you. Condor was 20 when principal photography for the first movie took place in Vancouver in 2017, and 21 when it premiered on Netflix on August 17, 2018. She turned 28 in May 2025.

When did the To All the Boys films release on Netflix?

  • To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before — August 17, 2018.
  • To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You — 2020.
  • To All the Boys: Always and Forever — 2021, described as the third and final film (Entertainment Tonight (entertainment press)).

Three films in three years, all following the same character through high school and beyond. The “how old was she” question keeps resurfacing because the answer kept changing on screen.

Why this matters

Condor was close enough to Lara Jean’s age that the romance read as authentic to a teen audience. That casting truth is a big part of why three films became a franchise instead of a single hit.

The pattern: her age tracked so closely with Lara Jean’s that the casting felt generational, not just convenient.

Is Lana Condor adopted?

Yes. Condor was born in Cần Thơ, Vietnam, and adopted as an infant by Bob and Mary Condor, who raised her in the United States (IMDb (film database)).

A deeper look at her adoption and Vietnamese American background is available in this companion guide: Lana Condor: Biography, Ethnicity, Adoption, Noah Centineo.

Who are Lana Condor’s parents?

  • Adoptive parents: Bob and Mary Condor.
  • Her brother Arthur Robert was also adopted.
  • She spent her early years in Chicago, Illinois, before the family settled on Whidbey Island, Washington.

Does Lana Condor speak Vietnamese?

  • Not stated in the verified sources reviewed for this article.
  • Interviews tend to focus on her Vietnamese heritage and adoption rather than language fluency.

That silence is not an answer either way. It’s a gap between what fans want to know and what the public record actually contains.

The restraint is deliberate: guessing at identity details is exactly how fan fiction becomes fake biography.

Did Lana Condor get married?

Yes — but the exact date is where the record goes quiet. The relationship itself is well documented, and recent reporting describes the couple as married even though the venue and ceremony details are not confirmed.

Who has Lana Condor dated?

  • Anthony De La Torre — her partner since around 2015.
  • Noah Centineo — a co-star and friend, never a real-life partner.

There’s no messy celebrity timeline here. Condor said in a 2021 interview that she had been with De La Torre since 2015 — three years before the first To All the Boys film premiered (Entertainment Tonight (entertainment press)).

What does Lana Condor’s husband do?

  • Anthony De La Torre is an actor and musician.
  • He has been a steady presence alongside her career since before the Netflix breakout.

The engagement was publicly reported in 2022, and recent coverage describes the couple as married. The exact wedding date has not been pinned down in the primary record reviewed here.

What happened between Lana Condor and Noah Centineo?

That is the complete verified answer. Anything beyond it — including accusations that circulate in comment sections — lacks named legal or entertainment-press confirmation, so this article won’t restate those claims as fact.

The catch

Accusations aimed at Noah Centineo on social platforms are not part of this article’s verified record. Named legal findings and entertainment-press confirmations should drive that conversation — comment-section claims should not.

The trade-off: a beloved on-screen couple invites projection, but projection is not evidence.

Is Lana Condor in XO, Kitty?

No — at least not in the first season. Netflix’s official editorial coverage was explicit about that before the spinoff even launched (Netflix Tudum (official Netflix editorial)).

Who plays Kitty in XO, Kitty?

  • Kitty Song-Covey, Lara Jean’s younger sister, is played by Anna Cathcart (per the same Netflix Tudum coverage).
  • Netflix confirmed Condor and Centineo are not in the first season; the series belongs to Kitty’s story, not Lara Jean’s.

Is anyone LGBTQ in XO, Kitty?

  • The spinoff includes LGBTQ storylines and characters, per the show itself.
  • Character-by-character claims belong in a spoiler-aware review, not a fact-check; this article won’t name what it can’t verify.

The division is clean: the verified record covers the franchise, not the full character roster of the spinoff. Fans asking about representation should go straight to the series or its official synopsis rather than fan recaps.

The catch: the franchise moved on without its biggest star. That’s not an oversight; it’s the premise. XO, Kitty is Kitty’s show.

Why is Lana Condor so popular?

Because she played the right character at the right moment. Lara Jean Song-Covey turned a book trilogy into a streaming event, and Condor carried all three films.

What movies and TV shows has Lana Condor been in?

  • 2016 — X-Men: Apocalypse, her film debut as Jubilee (IMDb (film database)).
  • 2018–2021 — To All the Boys trilogy as Lara Jean Song-Covey.
  • Recent work — The Devil’s Mouth is the film tied to her latest career news.

The pattern is visible in the list: one comic-book debut, one defining franchise, then a spread into comedy, action, and voice work. The first To All the Boys movie adapted Jenny Han’s young-adult novel (Netflix Tudum (official Netflix editorial)).

What is Lana Condor’s net worth?

  • No official net worth figure has been published by Condor or her representatives.
  • Online estimates are third-party calculations, not verified records.

Any single dollar amount attached to her name is someone else’s math, and the estimates disagree. For the fuller picture on her career and relationships, see this FAQ: Lana Condor: Bio, Net Worth, Relationship, To All the Boys FAQ.

The upshot

Popularity built on one franchise is a clock. Condor’s post-trilogy moves — comedy, action, and a recent film push around The Devil’s Mouth — are her answer to that clock, and the next two years will show whether the pivot lands.

Why this matters: the same trilogy that made her famous is also the thing she has spent four years moving beyond. The real test is whether the next chapter lands with the same force as Lara Jean.

Career record at a glance

Eight checkpoints, one pattern: a short filmography built on one defining franchise. The details trace back to IMDb, Netflix’s official Tudum coverage, and Entertainment Tonight’s interviews with the cast.

Career checkpoint Verified record
Film debut 2016 — X-Men: Apocalypse, as Jubilee.
Breakout role 2018 — To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, as Lara Jean Song-Covey.
Sequel 2020 — To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You.
Final film 2021 — To All the Boys: Always and Forever.
Franchise spinoff 2023 — XO, Kitty launched without Condor in the main cast.
Recent project The Devil’s Mouth — tied to her latest career news.
Early training Ballet studies at the Joffrey School of Classical Ballet, Gelsey Kirkland Academy, and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (IMDb (film database)).
Early life Chicago, Illinois; later Whidbey Island, Washington.

The pattern: the franchise role is the hinge; the projects around it are still being written.

Timeline: the verified record

Nine checkpoints, one pattern: her life runs in a straight line from a Vietnamese city to a global streaming franchise, with no tabloid detours.

Date Event
Born in Cần Thơ, Vietnam.
Infancy Adopted by Bob and Mary Condor and raised in the United States.
2017 Filmed To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before in Vancouver.
Netflix released To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.
2020 Released the sequel P.S. I Still Love You.
2021 Released the final film, Always and Forever.
2022 Engagement to Anthony De La Torre publicly reported.
2023 Netflix launched the spinoff XO, Kitty without Condor in the main cast.
Latest reports Married to Anthony De La Torre; the exact wedding date remains unconfirmed in the primary record.

The pattern: the record moves from adoption to franchise stardom to marriage without a gap large enough for tabloid invention.

Confirmed vs. unclear

After sorting the record, here is what survives as fact and what doesn’t.

Confirmed facts

  • Born in Vietnam, adopted as an infant, raised in the United States.
  • Played Lara Jean in all three To All the Boys films.
  • Relationship, engagement, and marriage to Anthony De La Torre.
  • XO, Kitty is a spinoff centered on Kitty, played by Anna Cathcart.
  • No official net worth figure has been published.

What’s unclear

  • Exact wedding date and venue.
  • Whether a later XO, Kitty season features a Condor cameo.
  • Accusations against Noah Centineo without named legal or entertainment-press confirmation.
  • Physical measurements circulating online are not reliable public record.
  • Full release details for The Devil’s Mouth are not established in the verified record reviewed here.

The split matters: the confirmed list is durable because it is sourced; the unclear list is where rumors enter.

What they’ve said

The most reliable way to separate fact from rumor is to listen to the people involved. Four statements matter most.

Condor and Centineo made a deliberate choice not to date while the trilogy was filming, and both have described the on-screen romance as fiction — a decision that kept the working relationship clean and the friendship intact.

Lana Condor and Noah Centineo, via Entertainment Tonight

In a 2021 interview, Condor said she had been with Anthony De La Torre since 2015 — a relationship that predates her Netflix fame and remains the most consistent personal detail in her public record.

Lana Condor, Entertainment Tonight interview

Condor has spoken about her Vietnamese heritage as central to who she is, while her adoption is the part of her biography most often mischaracterized. The facts are simple, and they are confirmed.

Lana Condor, interviews and profiles

Kitty, Lara Jean’s younger sister, steps into the lead of the spinoff, with Netflix’s official coverage framing the series as her own story rather than a continuation of Lara Jean’s.

Anna Cathcart, via Netflix Tudum

Taken together, the quoted record keeps the franchise romance and the marriage in the same frame: on-screen fiction, real-life commitment.

The takeaway

The Lana Condor of the public record is simpler and more stable than the comment-section version: a Vietnamese-born actress adopted as an infant, raised in Washington state, married to a longtime partner, and best known for a Netflix trilogy that ended before her 25th birthday. The rumors — about Noah Centineo, about wedding dates, about net worth — dissolve when set against named sources. Fans who follow the documented record get Lana Condor’s real biography; fans who follow speculation get a rumor sheet.
