A Comprehensive Timeline of Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse's Relationship

Thanks to non-stop rumors and are-they or aren't-they together headlines, it feels like Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse have been together for decades. In reality, it's only been since 2017, when the two met each other on the set of Riverdale. Since the fateful day when Betty met Jughead, it's been a ride with everything from head-scratching interviews, poems, and Met Galas to give the Sprousehart/Bughead stans plenty to post on their Tumblrs.

"That crow is clicking at us, can you hear it? The wind is so strong, the bird is practically hovering. They say time moves faster for corvids. Years and decades are seconds and minutes to the black bird. That's why they click, to see if they can match our clocks. It's true! Shame it should be hovering, it must be so confused. Motionless and untethered by time. Don't worry for the crow, in mere moments it'll all pass. In mere moments this will just be one of many clicks had while hovering."

June 2017

Reinhart posts a comment on one of Sprouse's tweets that's simply a string of thirsty emojis. It's a different kind of poetry.

November 2018

Sprouse told People that he will never confirm or deny his relationship with Reinhart.

"Whether you dismiss those rumors or whether you encourage those rumors, it’s giving people who are, in my opinion, a bit entitled to your personal life more power," he continued. "You have to have spaces for reverence in the industry. 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."

However, Reinhart posts an adorable photo of Sprouse and a dog.

April 2020

After rumors emerge that Sprouse cheated on her with Kaia Gerber, Reinhart posted a now-deleted message on Twitter, which read, "Twitter is actually the most toxic form of social media. People are assholes for the sake of being assholes. Do you not understand karma? It’s fine if you don’t, you’ll understand when it bites your miserable ass." On Instagram, she wrote, "Dear everyone on social media, Don't put down people for the sake of putting them down. Don't be a f**cking asshole. The world doesn't need anymore of that shit."

As for Sprouse, his Instagram post read as follows: "When I first stepped into a public relationship this was one of the foreseeable consequences. And while I truly never intended to indulge any part of my private life to the ravenous horde, it's clear my restraint in updating them has allowed them to push their own agenda onto my habits and lifestyle. So in conclusion- please eat my delectable plump ass. (Making me post a goddamn white font insta story like a twice divorced mother of three)."

May 2020

Over Memorial Day weekend, reports claim that Reinhart and Sprouse have split once again. A source told E! News that it was the separation during quarantine that did it this time.

"Lili and Cole were in a good place when Riverdale was shut down due to the Coronavirus outbreak, but they isolated separately and distance has never been a good thing for their relationship. When Cole and Lili are around each other often, things are very good. Their relationship is very intimate and affectionate, but things become much more complicated when they're apart." A different source added, "Distance is never good for their relationship."
