Charles Melton and Camille Summers-Valli are seemingly husband and wife five months after they became parents.
Melton, 35, referred to Summers-Valli as his “wife” in a new interview with People, the outlet reported on Thursday, August 20.
Us reached out to reps for Melton for comment.
The Riverdale alum previously used the title to describe Summers-Valli in his Gold Gala speech in May, calling her “my partner, my fiancée, my wife, my girlfriend.”
Melton’s latest comment comes after he revealed in March that he and the director welcomed their first baby, a daughter whose name they have kept private.
“Our family,” the actor wrote via Instagram alongside photos of himself with Summers-Valli, their baby and their dog.
Summers-Valli announced her pregnancy in December 2025, captioning a series of maternity photos via Instagram, “Making a lil family.”
The photos showed Melton kissing Summers-Valli’s bare baby bump and joining her at a doctor’s appointment.
Melton and Summers-Valli have kept the details of their relationship and their family under wraps. However, in December 2023, the Her Private Hell star gushed about his own father’s influence on his life.
“I love him. He was in the Army for 26-plus years,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “Four of those years, my dad was serving in the Gulf War [including] in Desert Storm.”
He continued, “He talked about family, responsibility. He [described] what a good man was, how a good man would love his family. He said many beautiful things — he was asking me to take care of my sisters and my mom while he’s away. I remember looking at my dad, kind of emotional, but I’m not going to [cry]. I felt, in that moment, that I had to be strong and show my father that I can do this. If I’m crying and begging him to stay, it’s not going to change the fact that he is going to go away for a year. Who knows what could have happened?”
Before his romance with Summers-Valli, Melton dated his Riverdale costar Camila Mendes on and off from 2018 to 2021. He was also linked to Chase Sui Wonders in 2022 and Chloe Bennet in 2023.
“People need to mind their own f***ing business, honestly,” he told Hunger magazine in 2019 of the attention on his relationships. “I don’t have Twitter and it’s one of the reasons why I don’t read through all my comments on social media because people are always going to talk.”
He continued, “No matter what, people have always talked, even before this age of Instagram, but back then you were less inclined to hear about someone talking about you, and honestly it’s not their place to have any authority over my relationships. Not everyone is going to be a supporter or a fan of your relationship and people need to remember that opinions aren’t facts.”
