Entertainment: Camila Mendes, widely recognised for her role as Veronica Lodge in the hit series Riverdale, is engaged to musician, actor and filmmaker Rudy Mancuso. The couple confirmed the news on Instagram, where Mendes shared a series of photographs from the proposal with the caption, “engaged to my best friend.” The images captured a warm and intimate setting featuring white décor, soft lighting and subtle floral accents, including the emotional moment when Mancuso got down on one knee and Mendes embraced him in joy.
The announcement quickly drew affectionate reactions from fans and fellow celebrities. Riverdale co-star Lili Reinhart expressed her happiness in the comments, along with Vanessa Morgan, while stars such as Vanessa Hudgens, Grant Gustin, Katherine Langford and Lana Condor also offered their congratulations.
As reported by People, the proposal took place on October 24 and came as a complete surprise to Mendes. She had believed she was attending a birthday celebration for her producing partner, Rachel Matthews, only to discover the event was actually organised to celebrate her engagement in the presence of close friends and family. Following the moment, Mendes and Mancuso later visited actor Glen Powell’s birthday party, where Mendes’ engagement ring drew wide attention.
The couple first met in late 2022 while working together on their film Música, sparking early romance speculation. They later made their relationship public on Valentine’s Day in 2023, when Mendes shared a heartfelt post dedicated to Mancuso.
From their on-set meeting to this significant milestone, the pair’s journey has evolved into a celebrated real-life love story, marking a joyful new chapter for both Mendes and Mancuso.
