During her time on the series, Mendler fell for her co-star Shane Harper, who played Spencer Walsh. In the series, Mendler’s Teddy and Harper’s Spencer are dating from the first season, despite Spencer’s huge red flags.

There were speculations that Harper’s relationship with another actress on the show could’ve been the reason for the breakup. Samantha Boscarino, who played Skyler, was reportedly friends with Mendler. However, after the breakup, Mendler unfollowed both Harper and Boscarino on social media. After the Disney show, Harper and Boscarino worked together on the film,God’s Not Dead: A Light In Darkness.
Fans strongly suspected that something similar to their show’s storyline involving the trio happened in real life. In the show, Spencer dated both Teddy and Skyler at the same time.
