William Taylor
Cole Sprouse is currently in a low-profile relationship with French-Canadian model Ari Fournier.
This contrasts his previous high-profile relationship with his Riverdale co-star, Lili Reinhart, which garnered much media attention.
Despite their on-screen chemistry as Jughead and Betty, the real-life couple kept their relationship under wraps until they made a public appearance at the Met Gala in 2018.
However, their relationship was not without drama, and they officially called it quits in March 2020.
In an interview, Cole recently opened up about his past relationship with Lili, revealing that the cliches about dating co-workers are true.
He acknowledged that their work on Riverdale made it difficult to overcome their feelings for each other and caused damage to their relationship.
Despite this, he expressed gratitude for the experience and the fact that they are now close friends and able to work together well.
Following his appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast with Alex Cooper, Cole Sprouse faced backlash from Twitter users for his controversial remarks about ex-girlfriend Lili Reinhart.
The Riverdale star claimed that almost all his girlfriends had cheated on him, among other surprising comments. One user criticized Sprouse for going on the podcast, known for slamming others, to talk about a relationship that ended years ago, suggesting he must be bored with his life.
Twitter users slammed Cole for “humiliating Lili” and called him a “loser” for his controversial remarks during an interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast.
Fans also criticized the former Disney star for smoking inside, causing “second-hand embarrassment.” In the podcast, Cole admitted that dating a coworker was difficult and that he and his ex-girlfriend Lili Reinhart caused “a lot of damage” to each other.
The actor said that the work dynamic made it hard to separate their personal feelings from their professional lives.
Initially, Cole announced their split was mutual but later admitted that he was the one who ended it.
Who is Cole Sprouse dating in 2023?
Cole Sprouse and the French model were first spotted in Vancouver, Canada, holding hands in March 2021.
Ari is represented by IMG Models and Premier Model Management and has been modeling since she was 15 years old.
She was raised on a farm in Montreal, Canada, and splits her time between Los Angeles and New York. Ari launched a YouTube channel during the pandemic but hasn’t posted anything in over two years.
The couple frequently attends events, walks the red carpet together, and occasionally shares their moments on social media.
They celebrated their second anniversary in January 2023, with Ari sharing gorgeous images of them together on Instagram.
Prior to dating Ari, Cole was in a high-profile relationship with his Riverdale co-star, Lili Reinhart, which ended in March 2020.
After being spotted with Spencer Neville at Coachella the previous year, Lili was also linked with the actor, but it’s unclear if they ever dated.
Despite his previous relationship attracting a lot of media attention, Cole and Ari’s relationship is much more discreet, with the couple keeping their personal life out of the limelight.
