Bella Thorne made her boyfriend wait six weeks before he was allowed to kiss her.
The 16-year-old actress didn’t want to rush into locking lips with Tristan Klier, whom she has been dating since the beginning of 2012, because she wanted to prove she was different from the other girls he’d romanced in the past.
Speaking in the June/July issue of Seventeen Magazine, she explained: "Tristan was not a relationship guy before me. On our first date, he thought I was going to be just like the other girls he had met who would always give it up and kiss him right away… I waited six weeks – I had to make sure he was in it to win it."
Since starring in the Disney Channel’s ‘Shake It Up’ in 2010, Bella’s career has gone from strength-to-strength and she credits her late father, Reinaldo, who passed away when she was nine years old, for her ambition.
She recalled: "There was no stopping him; it didn’t matter what anybody said. For me, I feel like it’s a cool way to bring him into my life because he did great things in his life, and I want to emulate that."
She added: "[If my agent says], ‘No, you don’t understand, they’re offering [the part] to someone else,’ I don’t care. ‘Get me back in. I want to see the director again.’ For me, it’s not a matter of ‘Well, it’s gone.’ No, there’s always something you can do to change someone’s mind."
