For Thompson's sweet sixteen, Casalegno surprised her with an impromptu visit when the two had been seeing one another for only a couple of weeks. Speaking with Seventeen in a June 2022 interview, the actor shared more details about the grand romantic gesture. "I'm kind of a hopeless romantic myself. I'm all about it. I think the craziest gesture was when my current girlfriend had her 16th birthday party, and I had only spent like a week with her at that point," he said.
"I lived in Texas at the time and she was inviting all of her friends to the party, and at this point, I was already talking to her parents. I secretly bought a plane ticket out to go surprise her for her 16th. Her parents brought her to some restaurant at Universal Studios, and I jumped out of the corner and fake proposed with a Hershey's kiss." Casalegno added that it was after his arrival that he realized Thompson's dad had been standing right there: "It was hilarious. We laugh about it now."
