They say the best things come in pairs, and Lili Reinhart and Camila Mendes’s friendship is proof, theygossip.com reports.
With Riverdale’s series that finale aired on Aug. 23, I’m getting all kinds of nostalgic over the dynamic duo that brought Betty and Veronica to life.
As Riverdale closes out an era of teen dramas, it leaves behind unforgettable moments (I mean, who could forget the epic highs and lows of high school football?), iconic fashion, and those wild musical numbers.
Sure, we’re going to miss our Riverdale crew hanging out at Pop’s, but what we’ll really miss is seeing Lili and Camila’s real-life bestie vibes.

Their Relationship Timeline
2016: The Riverdale Cast is Announced—A New Duo is Born
Back in 2016, Riverdale’s cast was revealed, introducing us to the core squad. While seven years might feel like a blink, it all started with Lili Reinhart getting cast as Betty Cooper in early February.
Just a few weeks later, Camila Mendes was announced as Veronica Lodge. Little did we know, this was the beginning of a friendship that would become as iconic as their on-screen duo.
2017: Riverdale’s Debut – The Betty and Veronica Era Begins
A year after the cast was announced the first episode dropped, transporting us into a darker more dramatic Archie universe.
With 1.3 million viewers tuning in for the premiere, Lili and Camilla’s lives changed overnight turning them into household names and kickstarting their BFF era!!!

2020: The Pandemic Brings the Duo Even Closer
When the pandemic hit during Season 5 filming, the Riverdale cast found themselves stuck in Canada. In an interview, Camila shared how much she learned about Lili during those months—like the fact that Lili is a sleep talker!
Apparently, Lili even downloaded an app to record herself sleeping and shared the hilarious clips with Camila during quarantine. Talk about bonding on a whole new level.
2023: Saying Goodbye to Riverdale
As Riverdale wrapped up after seven wild seasons, Lili and Camila took to social media to say their emotional goodbyes.
Camila reflected on how playing Veronica was like saying goodbye to an entire chapter of her life in Vancouver, a time that transformed her into the adult she is today.
Lili, too, shared her own heartfelt farewell, marking the end of an era but the continuation of a beautiful friendship.

When it comes to social media, Lili Reinhart and Camila Mendes don’t hold back on showing off
their bond—and they’re always dropping jokes about it!
Their latest TikTok? A simple yet iconic moment of them sipping drinks together, but with a twist.
After clinking their glasses, they struck that classic “newlyweds” drinking pose, and even captioned it, “We just got married.” Honestly, this friendship is goals, and I’m here for every bit of it.
But it doesn’t stop there—their socials are packed with appreciation posts and shoutouts for each other.
So yeah, if anyone’s looking to be my bestie and recreate a Lili-Camila friendship, drop a comment! We could even outdo them—who’s in?
