Upgraded to first class and next to someone very handsome at that!
The relationship between the two main characters and the chemistry is top-notch in the movie.
However, Camila Mendes and Archie Renaux are nothing more but co-starts as they are very much in committed relationships and one of them has a kid too, HeTexted.com reports.
I have one question though, how did they make the rom-com look so real with their chemistry and amazing chemistry without ever meeting one another or having any relationship of any sort?
Here is a full breakdown of the rom-com and some spoilers including some information about their partners and their romantic lives out of the TV screen.
William and Ana/Prime Video
William and Ana’s love story
Mendes portrays Ana, who is struggling to make ends meet with her low-level job at Erwin, an art auction house in New York City.
However, when Ana catches a mistake in the auction catalog, Claire decides to bring her along as her third assistant on a business trip to London.
Unfortunately, Ana faces challenges in her new role, mainly because of Claire’s other assistants, Suzette and Renee. They try to make Ana’s job as difficult as possible.
For instance, they book Ana on a flight to London hours after they will be traveling, leaving her with no time to rest upon arrival.
To make matters worse, they failed to inform Ana that she didn’t have to arrive at the airport so early.
Seeing the mean girl’s behavior the airline employee upgrades Ana to first class! Boy was I happy about it, but then the unexpected happened when it was time for William’s scene!
Ana spills a drink on a passenger named Will, but they flirt throughout the trip. Ana lies about her job, pretending to be the director.
Soon she finds herself caught in a web of lies and almost loses William in the process. However, as they say, love always finds a way.
Camilla and Archie’s relationship off the screen
Camilla Mendes and Archie Renaux share the same manager, also another worthy thing to mention is that Mendes was the executive producer for the movie.
She got Archie’s number from her manager and they started to connect via text.
They had conversations for months and months before meeting on set and when they met they had built enough chemistry to make it work on the movie between them.
However, that did not stop them from getting their grove back and starting a teasing war between them too.
At one point they noticed they shared so many similarities personality-wise that filming together and showing onscreen chemistry wouldn’t be a problem at all.

And trust me they made it work. I really enjoy it when a romantic comedy is effortless to watch and doesn’t take itself too seriously.
It’s even better when the main character has flaws but is still incredibly lovable. This movie ticked off all those criteria and then some!
Camilla Mendes’ relationship with Rudy Mancuso
It started as a work crush and developed into much more, something called love!
Camilla who is 20 and Rudy who is 31 and you might know from Vine.
Also since today is Valentine’s Day it would be perfect to tell you all that this was the day the two debuted the relationship on social media.
When they first made it official fans were quick to call Rudy out and ask him how he is pulling all of these fine Hollywood ladies to be his girlfriends.
Well he is charming, but love works strangely not a question we should ask.
However, there is always a reason for the questions fans like asking their favorites and that question up there has to do with Mancuso’s ex.

Fans were interested to know why he moved on so fast from Maia Mitchell after six years of being together and having another relationship within months.
All of that aside Camilla and Rudy have been dating for almost two years and they seem happy, they are very private when it comes to their romance but still update fans with a few snaps from time to time.
Archie Renaux’s relationship and daughter
Archie is 26 and has created a family of his own!
He is not one of the most active people on social media but still gives glimpses about his very private life from time.

It is still unclear when they started dating, but based on his social media footprints it falls somewhere between 2018-2020.
The biggest proof of their strong bond is the birth of their daughter, Iris, in October 2020.
Archie used to be more active on social media before becoming a father, but now he mostly shares updates about his acting projects.
Occasionally, he does post pictures of his life as a dad, but he values his privacy and doesn’t reveal much about his girlfriend or their relationship.
