Cole Sprouse Was Finally Asked, Point-Blank, If He's Dating Lili Reinhart
At this point it’s pretty obvious that Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart are more than just friends. Granted, the young Riverdale stars haven’t confirmed anything, but the signs are there. They’re always posting cute photos of each other on social media, they wear each other’s clothes, and they have secretly held hands in public on more than one occasion. I’m willing to bet my framed photo of KJ Apa that these two are an item. OK, so I don’t actually have a framed photo of KJ Apa, but you get my point: Bughead exists IRL (probably).
That being said, no one’s ever asked Reinhart and Sprouse if they’re dating—not directly, at least. Sure, they’ve been thrown softball questions about their personal lives in a general sense—and their answers were deceptively vague—but no one’s come out and asked, point blank, “Are you dating each other?”
Until now. In a new interview with People magazine, Sprouse addresses the rumors head on. He had a simple but telling response when asked about his relationship with Reinhart:: “No comment.”
“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 said. “The more you let people in on that, the more people feel entitled to it and the more it becomes problematic with whoever you end up being with in the future, so I take that very seriously. So I just never talk about it because it’s not anyone’s right to know. People can speculate all they want, people speculate about me with every member of the cast practically, but it’s really no one’s right to know.”
Sprouse is right, of course; his personal life is his own business, and he’s not obligated to share anything. Unfortunately, it looks like fans who want a confirmation will be waiting a long time.
