Sprouse and Reinhart have kept mum on their relationship sincedating rumors started swirlingin May 2017. Though they have yet to officially confirm they’re dating, they posed arm-in-arm on the red carpet of the 2018Met Galain May.
Additionally, the pair have shared multiple photos of each other on social media. Last month, Reinhart evencaptioned a photo of the pairposing with fellowRiverdalecostar Casey Cott: “loves.”
“I think that in many ways it’s offensive and an invasion of privacy, but it’s also a badge of honor because it means you’re creating a chemistry onscreen that is so understandable that people want to see it in real life, which is flattering from a professional perspective,” he added.

“Because 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,” the actor went on to explain. “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. It’s also sexy, these parts of the relationships that are just yours.”
