Like many Disney stars, Cole Sprouse has been in the spotlight from a very young age. Now 32, he has continued to evolve in his acting career while also pursuing other interests, such as photography.
His most notable work in the recent time is undoubtedly his role as Jughead Jones on “Riverdale.” This show sparked a romantic relationship with co-star Lili Reinhart, which lasted from 2018 to 2020 and ended on difficult terms.
Since February 2021, Cole has been dating model Ari Fournier, with whom he appears to be growing increasingly intimate. This has led many to wonder whether he views her as a long-term partner or if their future is still uncertain. Here’s what he had to say about it.
Did Cole Sprouse’s girlfriend drop marriage hints?
Cole Sprouse has openly discussed the future of his love life, speaking candidly without reservation. On an April episode of the Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast with Kelly Ripa, he expressed his desire for a long-lasting relationship similar to the one she shares with Mark Consuelos, who he met while working on “Riverdale” and became friends with.

Sprouse also reflected on being the only member of the Sprouse family who has not yet married. He shared that, for now, he is focused on enjoying his connection with Ari Fournier, which he describes as a new and fulfilling experience.
“When real compatibility comes into your life, it makes almost everything in the past feel like a lesson or a stepping stone to what you’ve arrived to now, and I think this is the first time in my life at least, and I’m not putting any of it on a timetable, but the first time in my life where I’ve been so wholly and completely able to be myself in a relationship and I think that is a tremendous testament to her,” he said.
Despite public comments questioning why he hasn’t proposed to Fournier, Sprouse revealed that she shares his calm approach. They are taking their relationship one day at a time, with marriage not a frequent topic of conversation.
While his love life often attracts media scrutiny—especially following his controversial remarks about his ex, Lili Reinhart—Fournier has always spoken positively about him. Although there are no imminent wedding plans, it remains a possibility for the future.
