You already know that we’re Riverdale fans, and we stan the stars of Riverdale. Like the unproblematic fans we hope we are, we want the Riverdale cast to lead a happy life off-screen too. (Because we obviously want the best for the people we stan.) And, we’re elated to hear that Camila Mendes’ and her new beau made their coupledom Instagram official—but we’re even more excited that Camila felt comfortable enough to share this, well, personal part of her personal life with her followers.
Cosmopolitan reports that after fans got suspicious that Camila and her high school friend Victor Houston were dating, Camila DTRed her situation with her fans at Beautycon in Los Angeles. During an interview with E! News, Camila was asked if she and Victor were dating. “I mean, connect the dots,” she replied.
Clearly, Camila knows that Riverdale fans are amateur investigators, and she’s been not-so-coyly leaving us a trail of social media clues about her relationship. Any devoted Riverdale fan should be accustomed to solving televised mysteries and dissecting fan theories, but Camila connected the dots for us. (Thankfully because even we need a break from fan-theorying,) “I can confirm. Sure, I don’t care,” Camila continued, in response to the reporter’s inquiry on if she could confirm their relationship.
Teen Vogue notes that Camila and Victor might have been dating for a while, seeing as Victor posted two particularly couplely photos on Instagram two weeks ago. “Happy birthday beautiful,” he wrote in the caption.
Though Victor might have just been wishing the Camila a happy birthday, fans have been sleuthing their relationship trail for a while now. Regardless, we just hope that Camila and Victor are thriving in their new relationship (or at least new-to-us relationship).
