Whether or not they broke up and got back together — or never split in the first place — all signs seem to point to them very much being in a relationship now. Don’t expect them to come out and explicitly say so one way or another though. After all, they’ve made no secret about wanting to keep their private lives, well, private. Sprouse, 29, and Reinhart, 25, dated on and off for several years after they were first linked in 2017. Though they were largely private about their relationship, Sprouse confirmed the former pair’s split in August 2020. Following its Season 7 renewal, Jughead actor Cole Sprouse says that he and most of the Riverdale cast are ready to leave The CW series behind.

The show feels as though it’s made to be watched as much as commented on, hashtagged, meme-ified, and GIF-ed on social media, where, in 2018, #Riverdale became the third most followed hashtag globally. Much like when I watch Riverdale, a show I devour with unapologetic fangirl fervor, I had no choice but to be manipulated into sugary submission. In August 2020, “Riverdale” fans were already speculating that Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart ended things, but Sprouse posted a statement on Instagram that made the split official. He stated that he and Reinhart had actually split in January, but they made it permanent in March.
“I love you baby but if you poke me / tickle me one more time im gonna break ur little fingie ? ? @themattkwan,” she wrote. “Thank you for letting me be part of ur life. I’m so proud of the hard working man you are and I hope this year is filled with all the love and happiness you deserve. ♥️ I love you.” Just six months after making their relationship official, the couple moved in together in January 2019.
In honor of Lili’s 22nd birthday, Cole posted this GORGEOUS pic of his topless GF. “Maybe your mother inspired this in you, but you are by nature a caretaker and an extremely nurturing person. You just want to make people feel better and help people get through whatever they’re getting through.” “Cole is one of the smartest, the smartest person that I’m friends with. He’s incredibly passionate about art, about photography, about acting, and I really admire that,” she said. Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse have been heating things up lately with their recent photoshoots, but this time it was Lili’s turn to share a steamy photo of her beau Cole. “‘How do the people you shoot even tolerate you?’ @lilireinharton ‘making her suffer for my art,’” Cole wrote on Instagram.

During a red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight, Sprouse was asked if he was bothered by reports of a breakup. “Incredibly,” the actor said, adding, “No, I don’t care. That’s the nature of our industry. I think you have to poke fun of it a little bit. It’s kind of something you sign up for, but as long as can keep it light and fun, it’s all good.” Reinhart and Sprouse also found time to publicly poke fun at their secretive relationship. Reinhart posted a shirtless photo of Sprouse with the caption, “I hope you don’t mind.” He aptly responded, “Are you guys dating.”
Their relationship is essentially the elephant in the room, and it sounds like their refusal to acknowledge their romance might just be getting to Reinhart… She’s adamant about not talking about who she’s dating, but she’s more than willing to dish about her intimate life? Seems like even with 13 plus episodes of issue-driven, small-town classic Archie Comics stories, there’s still time to get back to some classic Riverdale style insanity. On September 2, the pair stepped out again for the Bones And All red carpet.

Sprouse also told the Los Angeles Times, “We legitimately could not stay away from one another,” when asked if not dating his co-star was ever an option. In May, the couple finally made their official red carpet debut at the Met Gala. Reinhart donned a silver, off-the-shoulder dress by H&M, but the Internet would argue her best accessory was Sprouse, clad in a black tux.
Although it seems like the Keeping Up With The Kardashian star is an open book – she’s a reality star after all – Kendall Jenner is by far the most secretive Kar-Jen sister. The supermodel likes to keep certain things to herself, especially her love life. She revealed to Harper’s Bazaar that as long as she’s not engaged or married, she’s not going to talk about who she’s dating – mentioning that’s what sets her apart from her sisters. If I’m not fully, fully in it with someone, why would I make it public to everyone else? If I don’t even know what it is, why would I let the world know? Despite his and Lili Reinhart’s romantic dates in Mexico, Paris, Hawaii, and more, Cole Sprouse is also staying silent when asked to confirm romance rumors (are they even rumors anymore, tbh?).
Throughout its run, Riverdale’s taken its characters on a wild ride and has had them live many different lives. Take a look below to find out what’s different about the gang in this new alternate reality and what the cast has planned for life after Riverdale. Cole Sprouse set the record straight on his relationship with “Riverdale” costar Lili Reinhart.
The relationship was first hinted at in 2017 when Sprouse, who gained his fame from the Disney comedy “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody,” shared a photo on Instagram of Reinhart in a field of flowers. Shortly after, it was revealed by People that the two were seen getting close and cozy while they were at Entertainment Weekly’s Comic-Con Bash. As the brooding narrator of the series, Jughead, as always, is the only character to know isodate profile search that something is wrong. He’s painfully aware that the gang doesn’t belong in 1955 and desperately tries to convince them to go back. But with this new reality comes different versions of his friends that surprise him, including the one and only Veronica Lodge setting her sights on him, who has never shown him the time of day. On the other hand, Jughead finds himself drawn to Tabitha Tate, his girlfriend in their actual timeline.
“Being in a relationship with someone, it’s a relationship between those two people, and I feel like when you let enough people in, it’s not about those two people anymore. It’s about everyone.” Sprouse also posted a different photo of Reinhart on the same day, with the caption “410.” Fans asked in the comments if the caption was some kind of secret code about his love for Reinhart. The caption read “To the man who has showed me more beautiful places in this past year than I have ever seen in my whole life. Happy birthday, Cole. Thank you for all of the adventures and here’s to many more.” Sprouse’s Instagram is much more artistic than personal, but the photo seemed to confirm that the two were spending time together offset. Days after sparking split rumors for accidentally “unfollowing” her beau on Instagram due to a “glitch,” Reinhart and Sprouse attended the Vanity Fair Oscars 2020 party together.

To commemorate the event, Reinhart shared multiple photos of Sprouse playing with her dogs on Instagram Stories. While most of the show’s performers were relatively unknown when the series began, one notable exception was Cole Sprouse, who plays Jughead. Cole, along with twin brother Dylan Sprouse, had been the co-lead of the Disney series “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody” as a child star. This set him ahead of “Riverdale” co-stars such as Camila Mendes, whose first credited role was as Veronica Lodge on the series, or Lili Reinhart, whose first leading role on TV was as Betty Cooper.
