Wedding bells are on the horizon for Camila Mendes and Rudy Mancuso! The Riverdale alum and the multi-talented musician, actor, and YouTube star are officially engaged after a surprise proposal that melted hearts in Hollywood.
The Romantic Surprise Proposal
A representative for Mendes confirmed exclusively to PEOPLE that Mancuso, 33, proposed to Mendes, 31, on Friday, October 24, 2025. According to a close source, the Música star orchestrated an unforgettable surprise:
“She thought she was going to a birthday party for her producing partner Rachel Matthews,” the insider revealed, “but it was actually a surprise engagement party. Rudy proposed to her in front of their family and friends.”
The intimate gathering was filled with laughter, cheers, and happy tears as the couple celebrated their engagement surrounded by loved ones.
Celebrating Love Hollywood-Style
After the proposal, the celebrations continued late into the night. Around 11 p.m., the newly engaged couple joined Glen Powell’s tracksuit and tequila-themed birthday bash at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, where they were seen holding hands and beaming with joy.
Camila turned heads in a blue cropped tracksuit vest with matching pants — a perfect mix of casual and chic — while Rudy opted for a beige sweater layered over a crisp white shirt and black trousers. The couple looked effortlessly in sync as they laughed and mingled with other celebrities.
Camila Mendes’ Stunning Engagement Ring
All eyes were on Mendes’ gorgeous engagement ring, which featured a dazzling large diamond on a sleek silver band. The Do Revenge actress proudly showed off the sparkler as photographers captured her and Rudy entering the star-studded party hand-in-hand.
At one point, Mancuso leaned in to plant a sweet kiss on Camila’s cheek — a moment that had fans swooning across social media.
From Setmates to Soulmates: How Camila and Rudy Met
Camila Mendes and Rudy Mancuso’s love story began on the set of their 2024 romantic comedy Música, which they co-wrote and starred in together. The project — a heartfelt film blending music, romance, and cultural identity — not only showcased their creative chemistry but also sparked a real-life romance.
The pair first met during Mendes’ screen test for the movie, and sparks flew instantly. Mendes later told PEOPLE, “We have this two-minute silent footage of us talking and interacting — there’s no audio, but you can see the excitement and energy. It’s like you can literally watch chemistry happening.”
Mancuso echoed the sentiment: “It’s safe to say there was chemistry from the moment we met, and it definitely came through onscreen.”
Their connection quickly deepened both personally and professionally. “We were getting to know each other off-set while playing our characters on-screen,” Mendes added. “That natural dynamic translated perfectly into our performances — it was real, it was honest, and it was us.”
A Relationship Built on Understanding and Support
After sparking romance rumors in November 2022, Mendes confirmed their relationship on Valentine’s Day 2023, posting a sweet Instagram photo of the couple kissing with the caption, “Meu valentine. te amo so much.”
Since then, the pair have appeared inseparable — attending red carpets together, collaborating on creative projects, and supporting each other’s careers. Mendes even revealed she gave Mancuso a “Riverdale crash course” when they began dating, which he “loved.”
Their relationship, she says, is built on deep understanding: “We just get each other in ways that are hard for other people to understand.”
The Future Looks Bright for Camila and Rudy
As the couple embarks on their next chapter, friends and fans alike are celebrating their engagement and the fairytale love story that blossomed from friendship and collaboration.
Between Mendes’ continued success in film and Mancuso’s thriving career as a musician and filmmaker, their union represents not just romance — but a creative partnership rooted in mutual respect, humor, and shared dreams.
With their wedding plans likely to become one of 2026’s most anticipated celebrity events, one thing is certain: Camila Mendes and Rudy Mancuso’s engagement marks a beautiful new beginning for two stars who truly found harmony both on and off the screen.
