People have wanted every actor on this show to be in a union that they could make real. Truthfully, it’s very pleasing that people talk about Lili and I in that way because it means that we’re resonating so strongly that people really want that to be true,” he said to Entertainment Weekly.

The actor dodged the question multiple times in other interviews. It seemed they had planned to keep their relationship low key.

In an interview with V Magazine, she finally opened up about why she prefers to keep her relationships private. “People are just dying to know information about if I’m in a relationship or not. I understand the interest, but it’s called a private life for a reason. They’re going to say that I love KJ, they’re gonna say that I love Cami, and they’re gonna say that I love Cole: it’s inevitable. But I’m not at a point in my life where I’m ready to openly confirm, deny, or talk about a relationship that I’m in, because I think it’s brutal to have a relationship in the spotlight where I can be scrutinized by anyone and everyone,” said the Riverdale star.

The actor took to his Instagram story to quash all the rumours. “When I first stepped into a public relationship this was one of the foreseeable consequences.

Please eat my delectable plump ass,” he shared.

Reinhart too reacted to the entire row. “Twitter is actually the most toxic form of social media. People are a–holes for the sake of being a–holes. Do you not understand karma? It’s fine if you don’t, you’ll understand when it bites your miserable ass,” she posted.

The same month Cole’s brother Dylan Sprouse too hinted at the breakup. In a conversation with ET, he hinted that his brother was spending the quarantine with Riverdale co-star KJ Apa. “Him and KJ in the very beginning of quarantine ended up staying together at KJ’s place in Los Angeles.

Tired of people taking my words out of context and piecing together their own story for clickbait.”

A day after, Cole Sprouse took to Instagram and confirmed their split. He shared a picture of Lili and wrote, “Lili and I initially separated in January of this year, deciding to more permanently split in March.
