Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse Shared a Cute Moment on 'The Tonight Show'
Rumors have been swirling for a while now that Riverdale stars Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse are dating IRL. The evidence to support this theory is thin, but it certainly exists. There was the time the two were caught holding hands during a Comic-Con interview. Plus, they’ve each written gushy posts about the other on social media, and the non-response response Sprouse gave a few weeks ago about the rumor added even more fuel to the fire. Of course, we won’t know anything for sure until Sprouse and Reinhart confirm (or deny) themselves, but that’s not stopping fans from psychoanalyzing their interactions like detectives.
And the latest moment between Reinhart and Sprouse has fans particularly hot and bothered. It happened last night on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Sprouse and Reinhart were noticeably kept apart during the entire taping. They didn’t sit next to each other during the cast interview—which also featured KJ Apa, Camila Mendes, and Madelaine Petsch—or during any of the activities Fallon had them do.
However, a fan account caught the two of them having a slight—and we mean slight—interaction. After the cast finished playing a round of Fallon’s game “Search Party,” which is essentially Family Feud, it looks like Sprouse walks over and embraces Reinhart—but it cuts to commercial before we get visual confirmation. Notice Reinhart’s body language, though; she arches her body back in Sprouse’s direction, as if she’s anticipating the embrace. Check it out for yourself, below:

Ugh, why did the commercial have to come at that exact moment? Had the camera stayed on them for literally two more seconds, we’d be able to put this rumor to rest once and for all.
But, honestly, it’ll be a bummer if or when that time comes. At this point, playfully obsessing over Reinhart and Sprouse’s relationship is half the fun of being a Riverdale fan.
