**UPDATE**: Charles Melton welcomed his first baby with director Camille Summers-Valli on March 9. He shared photos of the newborn, writing on Instagram, "Our family." Charles Melton is embarking on a new and significant role: that of a dad. The Riverdale alum and Camille Summers-Valli announced their first baby together on Instagram on January 3, sharing photos of Charles and her growing bump. She wrote alongside the photos, "Making a little family."
E! News reached out to Charles' representatives regarding Camille's pregnancy but has not yet received a response. Although Charles and Camille have kept their relationship private until now, Camille's announcement has put their romance on display. In one photo, Charles plants a kiss on her belly, and in another, he lies on the floor next to her at the doctor's office as she sits on an examination table. Naturally, the couple's friends were thrilled by the news. Michael Gandolfini, Charles' Warfare costar, commented, "Mom and dad!!! Love you both so much."
Charles' journey to fatherhood alongside Camille comes after he was publicly linked to Chloe Bennet in 2023 and Chase Sui Wonders the year before. However, his most public relationship was with his former Riverdale costar Camila Mendes, who dated on and off from 2018 to 2021. During their romance, Charles admitted that he loved writing notes to his then-girlfriend. "There's something special about a letter," Charles explained to Glamour in 2019. "You don't have to let someone know you're always thinking about them, but it's nice to know."
Meanwhile, Camila—who got engaged to Rudy Mancuso in October after three years of dating—reflected on the difficulty of working with her ex on the iconic Archie comics series following their breakup. "It’s the worst," Camila admitted during a 2024 appearance on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard. "But it’s hard because the timing of the show—it was jokes—because it was like, any time we started to hook up off set and knew that something was brewing, our characters would start dating. But they didn’t know. No one knew. The writers just would naturally make it happen." As for when the pair split for good, though, Camila assured, "It ended very peacefully."
