Cole Sprouse Addresses Lili Reinhart Dating Rumors Since ‘Riverdale’ Casting

Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart have been rumored to be dating ever since they were cast in “Riverdale.”

But Sprouse recently told People that Reinhart isn’t his only co-star that he’s being linked to. The former Disney star said that he is also rumored to be dating Camila Mendes, Madelaine Petsch and even KJ Apa.

“The core four of the ‘Riverdale’ cast are now engaged in dating scandals beyond our wildest anticipation… Lili and I are constantly talked about in the public eye, and for me I think that it is being deeply informed by the love of the characters and wanting to see us together. I think that in many ways it’s offensive an invasion of privacy,” he said.

But Sprouse also understands that it is due to their characters’ and show’s personality that’s why fans are so invested in their personal lives. “But it’s also a badge of honor because it means you’re creating a chemistry onscreen that is so understandable that people want to see it in real life, which is flattering from a professional perspective,” he said.

And when asked to directly comment on his and Reinhart’s relationship status, the actor refused to do so. “Because whether you dismiss those rumors or whether you encourage those rumors, it’s giving people who are in my opinion are a bit entitled to your personal life more power, and you have to have spaces for reverence in the industry,” he explained.

Last summer, reports swirled that Sprouse and Reinhart were spotted cuddling and kissing at the San Diego Comic Con after-party. But in September, Sprouse already hinted that he and Reinhart are not dating each other. “So I think that kind of discussion, especially because it’s based so much on rumor and hearsay, needs to be taken with a grain of salt,” he told Entertainment Weekly.

Still, fans thinks that there’s something going on between the two because Sprouse accompanied Reinhart at a restaurant, in the middle of the night, to satisfy her cravings.
