A Timeline of Camila Mendes and Rudy Mancuso’s Relationship in Riverdale
Camila Mendes and Rudy Mancuso have provided insights into their romance following their connection on set.
The couple first crossed paths when Mendes was cast alongside Mancuso in Prime Video’s film Música. After the filming concluded, Mendes subtly confirmed their relationship in November 2022 by posting an Instagram photo of Mancuso with his arm around her.
Prior to her relationship with Mancuso, Mendes was in a relationship with photographer Ian Wallace from 2013 to 2017. She then had an on-and-off relationship with her Riverdale co-star Charles Melton from 2018 to 2021.
Mendes has shared her rationale for keeping her personal life private.
“In my daily life, I am an open book. However, I’ve developed a sixth sense about how my spoken words can be transformed into written words and how they can be taken out of context,” she told L.A. Confidential in March 2019. “So, even though I’m comfortable discussing certain things, do I really want to see them published repeatedly? Sometimes, it’s just not worth it.”
Mancuso, on his side, was previously involved in a long-term relationship with actress Maia Mitchell. In April 2022, Us Weekly confirmed that the couple had broken up “a few months” earlier after six years.
