The Real Life Partners Of The Cruel Summer Cast

Publish date: 2024-05-17

Actor-singer Olivia Holt brings palpable humanity and heart to her portrayal of Kate Wallis on "Cruel Summer," a popular high school student who seemingly has it all together until she's abducted, leaving her friends and family in shambles. Offscreen, the "Bad Girlfriend" singer seems to have it much more together. 

According to J-14, the Disney Channel and Kidz Bop alum was previously attached to social media star Ray Kearin and fellow actors Luke Benward and Taylor Lautner. But these days, she seems to be writing a love song of her own with boyfriend Tony Ferrari. Back in 2015, the indie singer-songwriter was named an "Artist to Watch" by Young Hollywood. Citing Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Al Greene, and Nat King Cole as his influences, he told the outlet, "I find inspiration in my own experiences with love — finding it, being in it, losing it, and the crazy journey of self-discovery that comes with it."

No doubt the "Let's Buy a House" artist has found inspiration in his relationship with Holt, as the duo went Instagram official in August 2020, when Ferrari shared an adorable photo dump in honor of his beau's birthday. Holt returned the romance in January 2021 for Ferrari's big day, gushing, "I like doing life with you a lot." The two even worked together on "Cruel Summer" — sort of. Ferrari produced two songs for the season finale, including the haunting cover of Radiohead's "Creep," which serves as the soundtrack to the episode's equally haunting closing scene.
