For fans still swooning over Lara Jean Covey and Peter Kavinsky’s romance, the burning question remains: Do Peter And Lara Jean Stay Together after the heartwarming conclusion of the To All the Boys trilogy? Fortunately, the answer is a resounding yes, and the update comes straight from the To All the Boys universe itself.
Netflix’s spin-off series, XO, Kitty, centered on the adventures of Lara Jean’s younger sister Kitty, provides a delightful confirmation of the beloved couple’s enduring relationship. In the third episode, aptly titled “Kiss,” Kitty, portrayed by Anna Cathcart, is in the midst of navigating her own romantic escapades in Seoul, South Korea. In a bid to convince her new friend Q (Anthony Keyvan) about the complexities of relationships, Kitty offers a personal anecdote that directly addresses the query on everyone’s minds. Skeptical of a budding romance, Q declares, “Life ain’t a K-drama,” to which Kitty confidently retorts, “Trust me, My sister, Lara Jean, was once in a fake relationship with her boyfriend, Peter. It’s actually kind of my fault, then it turned real, and they’re still together.” This casual yet definitive statement settles any lingering doubts and reassures fans that Lara Jean and Peter’s love story continues to flourish beyond high school.
This confirmation is particularly gratifying considering the challenges the couple faced in To All the Boys: Always and Forever, the final film in the trilogy. Their relationship was significantly tested when Lara Jean (Lana Condor) faced rejection from Stanford University, Peter’s (Noah Centineo) chosen college, while getting accepted to New York University. The prospect of long-distance loomed large, casting a shadow of uncertainty over their future. However, in a testament to their commitment, Peter, ever the romantic, revisited their relationship contract from the first movie and proposed a new agreement: a promise to remain devoted despite the geographical distance. Lara Jean, equally committed, signed the contract, signifying their decision to navigate the challenges of a long-distance relationship and keep their love alive across state lines.

While Lana Condor and Noah Centineo do not appear in XO, Kitty, and neither does their eldest sister Margot (Janel Parrish), Kitty’s mention serves as a warm nod to their continued presence in the To All the Boys narrative. As Kitty embarks on her own journey in South Korea, she carries the legacy of her sisters’ stories, subtly reminding viewers of the enduring bonds within the Covey family. Jenny Han, the author of the To All the Boys novels and co-showrunner for XO, Kitty, explained that the decision to keep Lara Jean and Peter out of the spin-off was intentional, allowing Kitty to forge her own path. She highlighted that “it felt like the greatest gift to give to Kitty was to let her as a character kind of set off on her own two feet and not put her in the shadow of either of her sisters.”
For devoted fans wondering, “Do Peter and Lara Jean stay together?”, XO, Kitty provides the comforting answer. Their love story, which began with a fake relationship and blossomed into genuine affection, has successfully transitioned beyond high school, offering a heartwarming update and solidifying their status as one of contemporary young adult fiction’s most beloved couples. XO, Kitty is currently streaming on Netflix, allowing fans to further immerse themselves in the To All the Boys world and witness Kitty’s own romantic journey unfold, all while knowing that Lara Jean and Peter’s story continues happily ever after, even off-screen.
