It looks like Cole Sprouse has found himself a new girlfriend, and she’s Canadian. The Riverdale star was spotted holding hands with Canadian model Ari Fournier in Vancouver over the weekend.
In pictures published by Page Six, Sprouse and his rumoured Canadian girlfriend are seen holding hands while walking together in the Gastown neighbourhood in Vancouver. They went for brunch before continuing their walk around the area. Both Sprouse and Fournier wore black masks, except for when Sprouse was puffing on his vape pen and photographed with clouds of smoke.
The couple matched in their darker tones. Fournier wore a black leather trench over a black turtleneck, and Sprouse wore a navy sweater under a dark gray coat.
Fournier is a 22-year-old model from Canada. She's represented by agencies Folio, Premier Model Management and Elite Model, according to her Instagram bio. She also has a YouTube channel with nearly 700 followers and six uploaded videos.
The relationship rumours come a year after Sprouse and his Riverdale costar Lili Reinhart called it quits. They announced their separation in May 2020, but it was rumoured that they broke up before that. They have dated on-and-off since 2017, and they’re still working together on Riverdale as love interests Betty Cooper and Jughead Jones.
“Lili and I initially separated in January of this year, deciding to more permanently split in March,” the 28-year-old actor captioned a photo of Reinhart that he shared on Instagram.
He continued: “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. All I’ll say about it, anything else you hear doesn’t matter.”
In July 2019, an unknown source confirmed to Us Weekly that Sprouse and Reinhart had ended their relationship after two years of dating. The news was spread just days after the pair attended Comic-Con with their Riverdale costars in San Diego.
Sprouse’s new rumoured relationship with Fournier comes just months after the actor was linked to Vancouver-based model Reina Silva, who he was seen cuddling in Vancouver last October.
Sprouse and Fournier have not publicly confirmed their relationship as of this writing.
