Lili Reinhartpublicly wishedCole Sprousea happy birthday just over a week after the actressseemingly denied reports of their split.
In honor of herRiverdalecostar’s 27th birthday on Sunday, Reinhart shared a“sappy” poemshe had written for the occasion.
“I tried to find a poem that I could send to you. Because my words were failing me,” she wrote alongside a photo of Sprouse. “But I searched and found nothing that did you justice.”
“All of these love poems can’t get it right. No one else’s words could ever fit. They haven’t known the fortune it is to love you,” the 22-year-old actress wrote, labeling the message a “sappy nighttime birthday poem for @colesprouse.”
Taking a more light-hearted approach to Sprouse’s big day, on her Instagram story, the actress also shared a photograph of Cole and histwin brother Dylan, cropping the image so herRiverdalecostar was mostly out of frame.
Last month, Reinhart and Sprouse brieflycalled it quitsafter two years together. The pair, who also play love interests onRiverdale, kept their distance from each other atEntertainment Weekly’s Comic-Con party in San Diego on July 20.

Both Reinhart and Sprouse shared a photo of the cover on Instagram alongside captions thatmocked media coverage of their splitand hinted that they are still together.
“BREAKING: A reliable source has confirmed that none of you know s—,” Reinhart captioned her post, while Sprousewrote, “UNPRECEDENTED: Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart consume the flesh of ‘reliable sources’ to fuel their bacchanalian sex cult.”
TheW Magazineinterview took place two months prior to the apparent breakup, and the two stars insisted on speaking to the writer separately.
During the interview, Reinhart briefly alluded to the possibility of a breakup, admitting it would make working together a bit complicated.
“If and when we break up on the show, I don’t know,” she said. “It’s weird being with an actor. You deal with s— no one has to deal with.”
The pair first sparked dating rumors in May 2017 but did not confirm their relationship until they walked the2018 Met Galacarpet together.
