If you ship Bughead on Riverdale, you are far from alone. The Jughead/Betty pairing is a fan favorite, thanks in no small part to the electric chemistry between costars Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart. The chemistry is so incredible, in fact, that fans are constantly on the look out for signs that the actors are a couple in real life too. Here is the evidence so far.

When Entertainment Weekly asked Cole if he and Lili were dating offscreen, he gave a vague answer that didn't confirm or deny anything.
“Since the show began, people have wanted Lili and I to be together,” he said. “People have wanted Lili and Cami to be together. People have wanted KJ and I to be together. People have wanted every actor on this show to be in a union that they could make real and talk about....But, truthfully, it’s very pleasing that people talk about Lili and I in that way because it means that we’re resonating so strongly from our character perspective that people really want that to be true.”
