Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart are quarantining apart, with Reinhart alone in Vancouver; that was enough to spark breakup rumors when fans started speculating over the weekend that Sprouse may have cheated on Reinhart with Kaia Gerber. Sprouse and Reinhart spoke out against the unfounded and “baseless” speculation about their personal lives, while E! spoke to a source that gave an update on what Sprouse and Reinhart’s actual relationship status is.
For context, fans believed that Sprouse was quarantining in Los Angeles and that he hung out with Gerber because the house photo they shared on their Instagram Stories appeared to be similar. Fans also noticed that Reinhart took down several photos of her and Sprouse together on her Instagram and that her mother and sister appeared to unfollow Sprouse.
Reinhart spoke out against the rumors first, writing in a since-deleted tweet, “Twitter is actually the most toxic form of social media. People are assholes for the sake of being assholes. Do you not understand karma? It’s fine if you don’t, you’ll understand when it bites your miserable ass.”
She additionally posted on her Instagram Story, “Dear everyone on social media, Don’t put down people for the sake of putting them down. Don’t be a f**cking asshole. The world doesn’t need anymore of that shit.”
Sprouse posted a series of Instagram Stories yesterday, addressing the situation:
I tolerate a lot of rumors and slander from people online claiming to be my fans. Fans who feel entitled to my privacy precisely because I never indulge them. But attacking my friends, baseless accusations, leaking my address, and sending death threats are all qualities of insanity and fanaticism. Choose humanity, stop being ?
When I first stepped into a public relationship this was one of the foreseeable consequences. And while I truly never intended to indulge any part of my private life to the ravenous horde, it’s clear my restraint in updating them has allowed them to push their own agenda onto my habits and lifestyle. So in conclusion- please eat my delectable plump ass. (Making me post a goddamn white font insta story like a twice divorced mother of three)”
Neither explicitly said whether or not they’re still dating. But E! spoke to a source who clarified what’s actually going on. Sprouse and Gerber are just friends. And Sprouse and Reinhart are still dating, though their relationship is “always up and down.”
“Lili and Cole are still together,” the source said. “They haven’t been [in quarantine] together but haven’t split. Their relationship is always up and down but they do talk every day and care very much about one another. Lili and Cole have been trying to be more low-key.”
“The photos of Kaia at Cole’s house are old,” the source added. “Cole and Kaia are just friends and have never been romantic.”
