Camila Mendes, best known for her role as Veronica Lodge in Riverdale, is engaged to her longtime boyfriend, Rudy Mancuso. The surprise proposal took place on Friday, October 24, 2025, during what Mendes believed was a birthday party for her producing partner, Rachel Matthews. Instead, Mancuso, a 33-year-old Brazilian-American entertainer, had orchestrated a surprise engagement party in front of their close friends and family. A representative for Mendes confirmed the engagement to People.
The couple continued the celebrations at Glen Powell's "tracksuit and tequila-themed" birthday party at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. Mendes, 31, was seen sporting a dazzling diamond ring on a silver band. Eyewitnesses reported that the couple appeared to be in high spirits, holding hands, with Mancuso affectionately kissing his now-fiancée on the cheek. Mendes wore a blue cropped tracksuit vest and matching pants, while Mancuso sported a beige sweater over a white shirt and black pants.
Mendes and Mancuso's relationship began after they met on the set of Música, a romantic comedy film directed and co-written by Mancuso, in which they both starred. They initially sparked romance rumors in November 2022 when Mendes posted a photo on social media of Mancuso kissing her cheek. The couple made their relationship Instagram official on Valentine's Day in 2023, with Mendes writing "Meu valentine. te amo so much," alongside a photo of them kissing.
In an April 2024 interview with Us magazine, Mancuso praised Mendes' talent and embracing of her Brazilian-American heritage for Música. Mendes had previously mentioned the instant chemistry between them during screen tests for the film.
Mancuso is a multi-talented artist known for his comedy, music, acting, and directing. He rose to fame on Vine and later transitioned to YouTube, where he gained a large following for his comedy music videos. He has also appeared in films such as Rim of the World and The Flash. Before his relationship with Mendes, Mancuso was in a six-year relationship with actress Maia Mitchell.
Fans have reacted positively to the engagement news, with many expressing their excitement and support for the couple. One fan wrote, "Three years in Hollywood time is like a decade, shoutout to Camila and Rudy for proving soft love still exists". Mendes previously dated her Riverdale co-star, Charles Melton, from 2018 to 2021.
