Real-life couple
Cassie Scerbo and
Cody Longo do
NOT play boyfriend/girlfriend on
Make It Or Break It. Far from it. So far this season, Cody's character has kissed Payson (Ayla Kell) and even flirted with Kaylie (
Josie Loren).
We talked to Cassie last month and asked her character, Lauren Tanner, would get a love interest anytime soon.
"Lauren's prince charming is Carter," she says, talking about
Zach Abel's character on the show. "If anyone out there knows that amazing feeling of having your first crush and being so in love with a boy, that's Lauren with Carter."
"In real life, Nicky Russo, who is Cody Longo, is my real boyfriend," she continues. "That's
my real love interest, that's Cassie Scerbo's love interest. But Lauren's love interest is definitely Carter."
So what's it like when Ayla or Kayle shoot a romantic scene with her boyfriend? "We totally laugh about it," she says. "We all know each others' boyfriends and girlfriends -- we all hang out with each other on the weekend. You would think it would be so hard to deal with, but the girls and I are so close, we honestly just laugh about it."
Keep reading for Cassie's favorite Valentine's Day memory with Cody. And check out new photos from tonight's new episode below. Looks like Payson is going to undergo that risky back surgery after all (or maybe it's just a scan...or worse, a dream sequence).
