Riverdale’s Camila Mendes splits from her boyfriend Grayson Vaughan after less than 1 year of dating

Riverdale actress Camila Mendes and her photographer boyfriend Grayson Vaughan have called time on their relationship after less than a year of dating, but insiders insist they will remain friends.

The pair reportedly split about a-month-ago and Camila, 26, has deleted all pictures of her ex from her Instagram feed and has stopped following him. 

However, Grayson is still following the actress on the social media platform. 

A source told E! News: ‘There was no drama at all, and they are still friends. Their relationship just ran its course.’  

Camila and Grayson’s relationship reportedly fell apart due to distance.

The TV star returned to Canada in September 2020 to resume filming her role as Veronica Lodge in Riverdale.

The source explained: ‘Camila has been shooting in Canada and travel has been banned, so the pandemic didn’t make it easy to see each other.’

Camila previously dated her co-star Charles Melton, who plays Reggie Mantle. They started dating in August 2018 and split in 2019.

A source said at the time: ‘Cami and Charles have been separated for a few months now. They are taking a break from their relationship. Their relationship escalated very quickly and they are taking time now to focus on their work and themselves.’  

Earlier this month, Camila said she began suffering from panic attacks amid the isolation of lockdown last year. 

Talking to Health for the April issue, she explained: ‘When we first started shooting season 5, I started having panic attacks, which was strange for me. 

 ‘I think it was because I was in Vancouver and borders were closed—no one could visit us. You start to miss your home and your life, and you don’t have your friends or community with you.’

The Virginia-born star insisted that she was happy to be working but still had to learn self care remedies to manage the panic attacks. 

‘I want to say, I am so grateful to be working and would never want this to come off that I am not. Taking baths helped with the panic attacks.

‘I also learned in those moments to put down my phone and take a break from technology and get in the tub with some music on and a book. I never did that before the pandemic, and now I love that I’ve learned to do that for myself.’

Camila added that while she’s always been a social butterfly, the pandemic has taught her that she actually likes to spend time along.

‘When this all started, I was in a place in my life that was go, go, go. I never imagined I’d have time to just sit and be by myself. It has really made me reevaluate priorities.’ 

The actress has played Veronica Lodge on the drama since 2017 and told Health that it was a ‘dream’ to land the role straight out of college.

‘I never expected as an actress studying theater at NYU that my first gig would be so transformative. 

‘Then, there’s the other side of it. When you have such a massive fan base, there are haters that come along with it. 

‘But that has actually been a good learning experience, too. It forces you to accept and get comfortable with the fact that not everyone is going to like you—and that’s OK. That’s a very valuable lesson to have learned early in my career.’

Camila graces the cover of Health’s April issue hitting newsstands March 12th.
