Is Camila Mendes Still Dating Ex-Boyfriend Charles Melton?
On 4 June 2021, the co-stars Camila Mendes and Charles Melton, who broke up in late 2019, were spotted enjoying dinner with fellow cast member Cole Sprouse, his twin brother Dylan Sprouse, and model Stella Maxwell at the French restaurant La Poubelle Bistro in Los Angeles.
At the end of their meal, Charles was photographed with his arm around Camila as they walked away from the restaurant. An eyewitness told E! News they asked the couple for a photo as they were leaving and then took selfies with each of them. The person added, “Then they took more selfies with my friend who was with me. After that, they left alone together.”
Camila and Charles were then photographed getting inside the actor’s classic car and driving off. They were spotted together after a long break of more than a year of the split from their relationship and also after a report of the split of Camila from her recent boyfriend, Grayson Vaughan.
This incident sparked a question about them still dating each other.
The duo confirmed their own relationship in October 2018, when the actress shared a photo of Charles kissing her and captioned it “Mine.” They had been co-stars on Riverdale since the show’s second season.
After only six months of dating, the couple sent the Internet into a panic when Melton showed off a “Cami” tattoo on his chest. Mendes cleared the air on Twitter, writing, “The tat is fake lol thought it was obvious from the sticy patch around it but guess not.”
In May 2019, they made their Met Gala debut together, walking the famous carpet at New York’s Met Museum. Later that month, while attending the premiere of Melton’s film, The Sun Is Also a Star, Mendes opened about their relationship. “He does [write me love letters]. He’s a hopeless romantic, for sure,” she told Entertainment Tonight.

The couple celebrated their first anniversary in August of 2019, but Melton’s post in October that year saw the last of moments of them as a couple together.
Their relationship didn’t last long, as in December 2019, E! News reported that the two were “taking a break” and had split up months earlier. A source tells the outlet, “They are taking a break from their relationship. Their relationship escalated very quickly and they are taking time now to focus on their work and themselves.”
As for the cause of the breakup, the source explained, “They both have movie projects separately and it’s been a lot on both their plates. Nothing in particular happened, they just both felt busy and overwhelmed and it was a lot of pressure on them.”
Nevertheless, despite the separation, they kept their professional work relationship in check. And they seem to have sparked rumors of a reconciliation after they were spotted together recently.
Dating History Of Camila Mendes
Camila Mendes has a long dating history around her, among which some of it remains unspoken.
Though Mendes has never publicly spoken about her relationship with photographer and director Ian Wallace, the two seemingly dated for at least three years. In September 2016, Mendes took to her Instagram account to wish Wallace a happy three-year anniversary, writing, “Three Years with this charmer. Grateful for the endless inspiration and unconditional love that you give me. I love you so much, Ian Wallace, and I am lucky to fully experience just how rare and special you are. Happy Anniversary, love.” She has since deleted the post, and it is unclear when they broke up.
In June 2018, Mendes sparked new romance rumors when she posted an Insgratam Story with Victor Houston. Soon after, a source for E! News claimed the couple had been “dating for two months,” which was later confirmed by Mendes to the outlet herself.
Unfortunately, they ended their relationship in August of 2018. “Camila ended things with Victor after ComicCon, when she realized she wasn’t ready to be in this relationship anymore,” a source claimed to E! News. And added that Victor was “completely blindsided and is very heartbroken.”
Later that year, the public raised their eyebrows at the relationship of Mendes and Charles Melton. However, they went on to take “a break” after a year in a relationship.
Then, Mendes often hung out with Grayson Vaughan as they were repeatedly spotted together, while they were first spotted together in February 2020.
In September 2020, she posted a picture of them hugging on Instagram with the caption, “that long distance kind of love,” tagging her beau’s Instagram account, which confirmed their relationship. But, it seems that they are not together as a couple now, as Mendes was recently spotted together with her ex Charles instead.
Net Worth Of Camila Mendes
With her works in the entertainment industry as a skillful actress, Camila Mendes has accumulated a large sum of wealth to her name. CelebrityNetWorth reports, she has an estimated net worth of $4 million as of 2021. She made her big career breakthrough when she became the cast for Riverdale in 2016.
The actress has come a long way in her career. She was just preparing to enter her final semester at New York University Tisch School of the Arts. Then, once she realized her talent to perform was going as a waste, she chose to take control of it and began interning at a talent agency, eventually convincing them to represent her as an actress.
And she took on to compete in an audition for the role in the series Riverdale and bagged herself the portrayal of Veronica Lodge in the series. “I had the most harrowing audition process,” Mendes admitted to W magazine in 2018. “They were like, ‘You’re our top choice, but we went to open up a new search, and we want someone that can compete with you.’ I lost sleep, I was crying every night because it felt like I was so close to something that could be big, and like my life and career changing, but in the end it all worked out.”
Since then, the actress has starred in many movies, but her role in Riverdale remains her most well-known one. She even bagged an award for her role in Riverdale in the 2017 Teen Choice Award for the category Choice: Scene Stealer and has been honored in 8 nominations for her performances as an actress.
Some of the TV shows and movies she has made her appearances include Palm Springs, Dangerous Lies, Day by Day, Coyote Late, The Perfect Date, Celebrity Substitute, and such.
