Camila Mendes’ public love note to Charles Melton is the most romantic thing we’ve seen all year
Just when we thought Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart were Riverdale‘s most romantic off-screen couple, Camila Mendes and Charles Melton come in for the win. On Monday, May 13th, Mendes posted what was essentially a love letter to Melton, telling him—and the world—what he’s taught her about love. She began by writing about Melton’s new movie, The Sun Is Also a Star.
"I remember the day @melton told me about this project. we were still just friends then," Mendes recalled. "Aside from having the biggest heart out of anyone I know, his passion and tenacity are part of the reason I fell in love with him. Watching him throw his entire heart and soul into this story of love taught me a lot about the kind of person he is."
She continued,
"I’m probably sharing too much, but before we started dating he’d often get mad at me for trying to bring logic into love. He taught me that love doesn’t have an explanation, it either exists or it doesn’t. It was his vulnerability not only as an actor but also as a man, that taught me that valuable message, one that is so relevant to this film. I’m so proud of you Charles and so grateful to have witnessed this beautiful journey of yours. Can’t wait for the world to see what you’re capable of."

The Sun Is Also a Star hits theaters this Friday, May 17th.
