To the Boy We Loved Before: 46 Times Noah Centineo Dazzled Us On The Fosters!

OK, so deciding you want to spend the rest of your life with someone while you're still in high school is a bit foolish, but it's also hopelessly romantic too. Peter Kavinsky isn't the only role in which Noah Centineo can make you swoon. Jesus Adams-Foster has a few swoon-worthy moments himself. Just saying.

There is no shortage of love and hugs on The Fosters. Jesus and Brandon had the worst fights, but they also had the best makeups. When Jesus finally apologized to Brandon for lashing out at him so often while coping with his injury, it was a relief. It also made fans tear up because it was long overdue. Jesus' love for Brandon was just as strong if not stronger than any ill feelings he harbored towards him. It was a difficult line to walk on balancing both without tipping too far over either way, but Centineo nailed it.

The final season had the entire Foster clan working through their demons and pasts. A large part of that for Jesus was making peace with his childhood prior to being adopted and knowing that it was the best thing that could have happened to him. Not only was Mother's Day one of the best episodes of the series, but Jesus reading the letter he wrote to his moms was one of the best moments of the series. He worked hard to regain his ability to read again after his injury; moms needed the reminder that they did the best that they could for him (and all of their kids), and it marked Jesus' character growth over the course of the series.

Technically, Jesus rearranged he and Emma's date plans so he could be a good, supportive friend to Poppy. Emma wasn't pleased, and she was a bit envious, but how can you be mad at a guy who helps a friend in need and apologizes like an adorable puppy? It's no popcorn bowl removal or pillow fights, but it's still an adorable couch moment.

The guy is a dork and never misses an opportunity to display it. You may be wondering if I'm talking about the character or the actor. The answer is both. Admit it, this lovable goofball dabbing is too cute, isn't it?

I mean, read it and swoon, my friends. Read it and swoon. The scene was every bit as romantic as this gif. Jesus Foster can utter a few romantic lines that will make your heart flutter, too. With that face, those sweet words, and that delivery, how could a girl say no? Spoiler alert, she doesn't.

After his TBI, it didn't appear as though Jesus would ever make it back to school let alone through it. Lena's battle to get the proper help and services for her special needs son was so realistic. In addition to that, Jesus was a fantastic representation of teens with learning disabilities and/or special needs trying to navigate an education system that at times fails them. Jesus' educational journey was one of the most underrated but realistic of the series. So it was beyond rewarding for Jesus, Lena, and fans when Jesus walked across that stage and got his diploma.

Sometimes first loves are not meant to last forever, especially if priorities don't match up. On the surface, Jesus and Emma were an adorable couple, but their conflicting interests always left them butting heads. They tried too hard to push past all of them, but it wasn't always fair to either of them. Typically, Emma was the one to make the mature and rational decisions as she followed logic whereas Jesus followed his heart, but in the last episodes of the series, Jesus showed just how much he had grown and matured over the years with how he handled he and Emma's relationship.

Jesus was the kid who struggled the most academically due to his learning disabilities. Later on, he struggled more after his accident and due to his TBI. Through his work with Gabe, he found a passion and talent for contract work, and it was a rewarding moment when we found out after the time jump that he successfully received his contractor's license. For a kid who didn't know where life would take him after high school, he found a line of work that suited him.

Leaving a childhood home is difficult, and in addition to saying goodbye to the Fosters, fans had to say goodbye to their house. The house was like its own character. When Lena became emotional about the family dinners they would no longer have there, Jesus lightened the mood and instilled that quiet wisdom he's known for too. His response was that they could take the table with them. While he was capable of saying terrible things, he also knew the perfect thing to say during certain moments. It's one of the most lovable things about his character.
