Mendes and Melton play Veronica Lodge and Reggie Mantle on Riverdale. E! News said the pair were first linked in September following Mendes' split from Victor Houston.

Mendes previously told Nylon magazine she was hesitant to date actors.

"It's just dating people in the industry is tough. I did for a little bit. I've just dated actors. It's hard when that's your world," she explained.

Riverdale will return Wednesday for a third season on The CW. The series is based on the characters of Archie Comics and co-stars KJ Apa, Lili Reinhart and Cole Spouse.
