It’s official, Camila Mendes and Rudy Mancuso are engaged! Mancuso proposed at a surprise engagement party (which she thought was a friend’s birthday party) in front of their family and friends. Shortly after, Mendes debuted her engagement ring — a classic thin band with a large diamond — and the couple celebrated at an event at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. Mendes and Mancuso made the news social-media-official with a joint Instagram post on Oct. 25, featuring a caption that read, “Engaged to my best friend.”
Since her time on Riverdale, Mendes has worked on numerous projects, both as an actress and producer. In fact, in 2024, Mendes even co-founded her own production company, Honor Role, alongside Rachel Matthews. She’s also got lots on the horizon, including starring as Teela in the upcoming He-Man reboot film, Masters of the Universe.
As an actor, musician, and comedian, Mancuso has a long resume as well. If you were on Vine as a kid, you’ll definitely remember him. He was kind of a legend on the app, where he got his start making comedy skits.
Needless to say, the two are both booked and busy, but how did they meet? Let’s take a look at Camila Mendes and Rudy Mancuso’s relationship timeline.
