Cole Sprouse’s life got a whole lot sweeter when he began dating model Ari Fournier in 2021.
The twosome sparked romance speculation in February 2021 when they were spotted together in Vancouver, Canada. Their relationship, however, began one month prior after Sprouse and Riverdale costar Lili Reinhart called it quits in March 2020.
The actor hinted in March 2022 that the “public currency” that surrounded his split from Reinhart led him to keeping his romance with Fournier even more private.
“Followers report everything about Ari and me as bullying, and it gets taken down pretty immediately,” Sprouse told GQ at the time as to how he handles the scrutiny now. “Even on my other friends’ accounts, it gets taken down.”
While Sprouse rarely shares photos of Fournier on social media, they do occasionally gush over one another on their birthdays or anniversary.
