Cole Sprouse is single (we think). He said so in a very telling interview for W magazine. During the same interview, he dished on when romance in his life all began: his very first kiss.
WATCH: Cole Sprouse describes his very first kiss:
“First date? In the back of a hearse. This is a weird story, that’s where I got my first kiss too. Charlene was her name, strange name as well. Her father was an offbeat man.
“He was an avid Hot Wheels collector but then he also owned a hearse and he was part of this hearse club which is probably where my dark sense of humor comes from.
“We sat in that area of the casket and we pulled up in the curtains and we’re making scary ghoulish faces out of the window to passing cars, which we thought was hilarious at the time and I still think it’s quite hilarious. Then, we pecked on the lips and it was just lightning in a bottle. I got the kiss of death.”
If you’re unaware of what a hearse is… well…
It’s a funeral car.
It is ironic, Cole talking about a “kiss of death” in this particular interview, as it was the start of him and Lili Reinhart’s alleged demise.
Last week, reports came out that the Riverdale couple had split up after two years of dating.
People even reported that the break up was really messy.
“Their friends didn’t really expect them to last in the long-run,” a source told the publication. Apparently, “their personalities are very different and their lifestyles often clashed.”
According to People‘s source, “things have felt super heavy in the relationship for a while, and it got to be too much,” which is why they have allegedly broke up.
E! News also reports that the breakup was “very messy,” but because they are on the same television show together, things needed to be handled carefully. “They’re both very professional though and trying to be as amicable and friendly as possible,” says the source.
The news came out as the pair attended Comic-Con together in San Diego over that weekend.
While there, several interviews emerged showing Lili snapping at Cole on VARIOUS occasions.
It was awkward:

SO, so cold…
However, a couple days following their awkward Comic-Con appearance and the W Magazine cover came out, with both Lili and Cole mentioning in their captions that we were all idiots for thinking that they had broken up.
“BREAKING: A reliable source has confirmed that none of you know shit.“, wrote Lili.
Cole shared similar sentiments… “UNPRECEDENTED: Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart consume the flesh of ‘reliable sources’ to fuel their bacchanalian sex cult.“
The actual article from this photoshoot has direct quotes claiming that the duo decided to “part ways romantically”, as E! News reported.
It is important to note that this interview and the cover shoot was done in May and that recent reports claim that the pair broke up months ago. Reports have also claimed that they have been on the road to recovery, so all we can assume is that they are back together.
We may never know. What we do know is that it’s been a wild ride.
