Charles Melton and Camila Mendes have rekindled romance as ‘they reconnected on set of Riverdale’

Riverdale co-stars Camila Mendes and Charles Melton are on again as a couple, less than two years after they split.

‘The break was nice for them and they reconnected on set of Riverdale,’ a source told E! News Wednesday of the duo, who initially broke up in 2019.

‘Being around all of their mutual friends and hanging out together often made them realize they still have a strong connection and chemistry,’ the source told the outlet. ‘They care a lot about each other and have a bond from filming together for so many hours each day.’

Back together? Camila Mendes, 26, and her Riverdale costar Charles Melton, 30, sparked rumors that they had reunited after they were spotted out with friends in Los Angeles on Friday night

Mendes, 26, and Melton, 30, are not looking to put ‘too much stress on the relationship,’ as ‘it’s going well’ in the early goings of their reunion, the source said. 

Riverdale commenced with production last autumn in Canada, as Mendes at the time was linked to photographer Grayson Vaughan.

The pair had sparked rumors that they had reconciled after they were spotted out with friends in Los Angeles on Friday night.

They were seen catching up with fellow Riverdale star Cole Sprouse, 28, along with his twin Dylan Sprouse and model Stella Maxwell, 31.

Camila and Charles stayed close to each other throughout the evening and even wore complementary outfits, despite breaking up almost two years ago.

They were spotted surrounded by their pals during a late-night gathering at La Poubelle Bistro in LA.

Camila looked playful and casual in a baggy canary yellow cropped blazer that emphasized her toned tummy. She wore it over a black top and also had on a set of high-waisted acid-wash jeans that hung loosely on her trim frame. The actress wore her raven tresses down and parted in the middle and carried along a black handbag with her.

The former couple started the evening somewhat more dressed up when they dined together at the members-only San Vicente Bungalows in West Hollywood.

Camila looked chic in a yellow jacket and matching slacks, while Charles wore a white long-sleeve polo shirt with black pants and white sneakers.

‘There was no drama at all, and they are still friends. Their relationship just ran its course,’ a source told E! News at the time.

Camila and Charles confirmed their own relationship in October of 2018, when the actress shared a photo of Charles kissing her and captioned it ‘Mine.’

They had been costars on Riverdale since the show’s second season, when Charles took over the role of Reggie Mantle from Ross Butler, who portrayed the character in the first season.

The actors shocked their fans in February 2019 after Charles fooled several people into thinking he got ‘Cami’ tattooed on his chest, even though it was clearly a temporary tat.

At the premiere of Charles’ film The Sun Is Also A Star, Camila called her then-boyfriend a ‘hopeless romantic’ to ET and revealed that he would occasionally write her love letters.

In August of that year, the couple marked a year together, but their romance didn’t survive much longer.

In December 2019, E! News reported that the two were ‘taking a break’ and had split up months earlier.

Despite the separation, they were seen acting together on the Riverdale set and reportedly were able to keep up a professional work relationship despite ending their personal relationship.
