Are Bughead still a couple? This is the burning question on Hollywood and the internet’s minds right now as a new cover story featuring the Riverdale actors, Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse, together published by W Magazine has added a confusing are they?/aren’t they? twist into the rumoured split tale.

Read on as we lay out what we know about this confusing state of affairs.

The Riverdale co-stars and on-screen love interests were reported to have gotten together in 2017, meeting and falling in love on the set of their popular teen noir show. The couple’s appearance at Comic-Con in 2017 was the first time the public became aware that they were more than just co-stars.

However, since then, the couple have kept their relationship relatively private, attending the occasional red carpet event such as the 2019 Met Gala together and intermittently sharing references to each other on Instagram, but in the majority, keeping their feelings for each other and status of their relationship out of the public domain.

On Monday, July 22, various US outlets including and reported sources had revealed that the couple had called it quits. “Lili and Cole broke up earlier this summer,” reported a source revealed. 

further reported “multiple sources” had shared the news of the couple’s split with the publication and that Sprouse had been “overheard telling a pal” at 2019 Comic-Con — which was held over the weekend — that he and Reinhart had broken up.

As far as the internet knows, they did not confirm the split when the news broke. Neither actor commented until the cover interview with the couple came out on Thursday, July 25.

The interview reportedly took place back in late May, when the couple were thought to still be together. However, the journalist, David Amsden, who interviewed the couple reports they asked to be interviewed separately, and when asked if the individual interviews were related to their relationship status, Sprouse reportedly gave a very cryptic answer: “I’m so glad we’re making your job more difficult.”

Sprouse did expand on this later, saying they want to be seen as individuals with their own careers, rather than just as a package deal. “We’re acknowledging that we’re in a relationship, but it’s a small part of who we are as people. We want our own separate identities.” Sprouse said, adding, “Lili is an incredibly talented individual who speaks for herself and deserves her own voice box in every single way.”

But despite Sprouse’s explanation about the individual interviews, Amsden writes that the separate interviews seemed “a bit calculated” and his “suspicions that the separate interviews might have been connected to the two of them being uncertain about their future together,” have since been confirmed.

While Reinhart and Sprouse didn’t initially respond to the split rumours published earlier in the week, they have both responded — with fighting words — to what was written in the interview.

Reinhart posted one of the images from the article of herself and Cole together to her Instagram account with the caption: “BREAKING: A reliable source has confirmed that none of you know shit.”

 

Sprouse too posted the image to his Instagram account with the caption: “UNPRECEDENTED: Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart consume the flesh of ‘reliable sources’ to fuel their bacchanalian sex cult.”

 

Only Reinhart, 22, and Sprouse, 26, know for sure. But we do know neither is happy with what was written in the article and they’re not going to stay quiet about it.
