Bughead shippers, it is time to rejoice because it appears Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart are actually dating. Yes, everyone's most beloved Riverdale couple are officially an item off-screen too, and our hearts are bursting. The pair was at Comic-Con during the weekend along with most of their castmates and they were spotted getting cozy all weekend long, especially at Entertainment Weekly's party Saturday night where sources say the duo was "seen canoodling, holding hands and kissing." Plus while at the bash, Cole gave Lili his maroon blazer to wear, which you know is nothing but adorable.

Fans have been speculating that these two could possibly be more than friends for months now since they really hit it off since joining the show and hang out quite a bit together. Lili has become super close with two v important people in Cole's life too: his longtime BFF Debby Ryan and his brother Dylan.

And when a fan asked Lili was it was like kissing Cole, since their characters are oh so in love on the show, she had the best answer.

"Fantastic, how about that. It feels great," she said before jokingly adding, "I like kissing Cami better," referring to the smooch she shared with Camila Mendes during the scene in which Betty and Veronica kissed during a dance routine. Now as much as we're all legit crying over the fact that Cole and Lili are a ~thing~ IRL, it does come as a little bit of a surprise since Cole has pretty much denied any romance rumors in the past, simply saying that the cast as a whole is the best of friends.

"We all get along so, so, so well, and I hang out with those guys when we are on hiatus. We all go to lunch; we all go to movies. It's one of those things where we all are really just great friends and there is a mutual respect there and the psychology is all grounded in the fact that we don't really care much about the fame aspect of it. Not much of us have something to prove so it means we have all grounded ourselves in just making a good program or trying to do the best with the material we can. And that has kept us humbled and really grounded and has made us all appreciative of one another," Cole said to Elle. "I think the shipping wars and communities have taken to realize relations as well when it comes to bromance or romance, as it's been called for KJ and I, and then Lili and I. I think people are getting invested into us and the characters and they really want to know the relationships of the people in real life."

Well, it's possible things have changed and this friendship has obviously blossomed into something more. I mean, let's just take a moment to appreciate this hand-holding exchange that went down during an interview the whole cast did together at Comic-Con.

Now while there hasn't been any official word from the pair just yet, it's safe to say we might not ever get any sort of confirmation from Sprousehart themselves as they're being dubbed by fans. Cole has said before that he never has any intention of speaking publicly about his personal life and who he's dating, while Lili hasn't really said too much on the matter before either.

"I am one of those guys that's never ever going to talk about my private life with the public sphere. I mean people can talk about Jughead as much as they want but when it comes to the personal relationships, I have spent much of my life separating work and play so I will continue to do so," Cole said to Elle.

Hey, at least we can see them being all cute on TV as their characters right?
