Cole Sprouse Fans Are Standing By Him Following Hate Over His Latest Instagram Photo
When it was announced that actor Cole Sprouse was in a relationship with model Ari Fournier, Riverdale fans were more crushed than they already were. Sprouse was in a relationship with co-star Lili Reinhart until early 2020, and people who shipped the couple had hoped the two would reunite.
However, after their shipping dreams were shattered by an Instagram story and new Instagram photo featuring Fournier, fans did not take it too well, and many made resoundingly negative comments, some reading simply, "no."
Even though social media showed a lot of hate in reaction to the photo, Sprouse's fans on Instagram and Twitter have stuck by him. Users have posted their support for the actor and his new relationship, saying that no matter who he dates, they still love him.
Fans have also endeavored to leave positive messages on the Instagram photo, to make it so that all the comments aren't rude and negative.
@bughead_au.story commented, "call y'all stop commenting "no" please? It's his life and he's happy. Respect that please."
Unfortunately, negative comments continue to pour in on his Instagram, with users telling him that Reinhart is superior and that he could do better. One user went so far as to blame him for his ex's anxiety returning, that he screwed the entire relationship up.
Sprouse and Fournier first sparked dating rumors in Feb. 2021, which neither of them confirmed. However, the actor has a pattern of confirming relationships through photography posted on his Instagram, rather than verbally.
He confirmed the relationship through his Instagram story right before posting the photo of Fournier, which began the public outcry.
The Canadian supermodel is currently signed with Elite Model Management, and has a steady Instagram following. She also has a YouTube channel containing a Q&A and tutorials, but has not posted any videos in almost a year.
Unlike his relationship with Reinhart, Sprouse has been much more private with this relationship, though overall has always been good with keeping his romantic relationships under wraps. He mainly uses his Instagram account to post pictures of his photography projects.
Fornier has not released information on any major projects, but she continues to model and stay active on social media.
Sprouse will continue to star as Jughead Jones on Riverdale, which was renewed for a sixth season in Feb. 2021. He is also set to star alongside Lana Condor in the film Moonshot, which begun filming in Jun. 2021.
