Cole Sprouse and his long-rumored girlfriend, Ari Fournier, seem to be officially an item. On Friday, the actor posted a photo of Fournier with the caption “Tippi and the burds.”

This is the first photo he posted of Fournier on his Instagram grid, which usually means...something. Fans thought so, anyway; they commented with disappointed reactions, including: “My heart broke with this photo.”

Sprouse seemed to catch on to the overall mood of his fans, and he posted a teasing comment on his Story.

This series of posts comes after months of speculation about Sprouse and Fournier.

Per The Daily Mail, Sprouse was seen in late May on a dinner night in Echo Park with his rumored girlfriend, Fournier. Fournier wore a green floral minidress while Sprouse wore a brown blazer, light-wash jeans, and white Converse.

The two have been sparking dating rumors since February, and their playful PDA seemed to suggest these rumors are likely true. This potential new relationship follows the confirmation of Sprouse’s breakup with his Riverdale co-star Lili Reinhart last August.

In October of 2020, he was seen showing PDA with another Canadian model, Reina Silva, in Vancouver. By early March, Sprouse was seen with Fournier in Vancouver, where Page Six said they were seen on an informal walking tour of the city. They were seen in the Gastown neighborhood of Vancouver, where they enjoyed brunch and walked around the area.

“Lili and I initially separated in January of this year, deciding to more permanently split in March,” he wrote on Instagram at the time of their breakup. “What an incredible experience I had, I’ll always feel lucky and cherish that I had the chance to fall in love. I wish her nothing but the utmost love and happiness moving forward.”

In August 2020, following their breakup, Reinhart came out as a “proud bisexual woman.”

In an interview with Flaunt that month, she spoke about her sexuality.

“I knew full well that I was attracted to women from a young age,” she said. “I felt that since I’ve exclusively been in hetero-normative relationships, it would be too easy for any outsider, especially the media, to vilify me and accuse me of faking it to get attention. That’s not something I wanted to deal with. But to my close friends, and those in my life, my bisexuality has been no secret.”

We know a lot about Sprouse and Reinhart, but who, exactly, is Fournier? Here is what we know.

She is a professional model.

Fournier is signed with Elite Model Management. Per a video she made on YouTube, she was discovered at the age of 15 via Instagram.

This would have been about eight years ago; she will turn 23 in August.

She’s from Canada.

Fournier seems to be based in Montreal, but as anyone clued in to the Hollywood industry knows, more projects film in Vancouver, so if she is spending time with Sprouse, it would make sense that she would be hanging around that city more than Montreal. She speaks French, which makes sense because...Montreal.

She is also a YouTuber.

During quarantine, she started her YouTube channel, where she talks about beauty, travel, life after lockdown, and what it’s like to be a model.

She rides and loves horses.

She seems to have a horse of her own:

On top of it, she seems to have a mean left hook.

And loves travel.

Pretty sure we’ll be learning a lot more about her soon. Stay tuned!
