What has Christopher said about girlfriend Isabel?

The couple generally keep their relationship out of the spotlight but when asked by PEOPLE about what makes him feel confident, Christopher couldn’t help but sing his girlfriend’s praises.

He was asked what makes him feel most confident and responded: “When my girlfriend tells me I'm pretty, I feel pretty.”

Christopher also shared some style advice she gave him: "The biggest thing [she has told me] is just wear something that you think is cool. Not something that you think someone else thinks is cool. It's hard to do that, easier said than done."

Isabel has also joined Christopher at a few red carpet events, accompanying him to The Summer I Turned Pretty series one premiere last year and attending a Ralph Lauren event in New York together this July.
