In the Wednesday installment of the extremely common podcast, the 30-yr-outdated recalled — whereas sparking a cigarette — how arduous it was after their breakup to proceed filming Riverdale together with her:
“I think the work thing got difficult because it was hard to suspend all of the way we felt about each other. It didn’t afford us the luxury of distance to really overcome that. I think we both did quite a bit of damage to each other.”
We can’t even start to think about how troublesome — and AWKWARD — that will need to have been for each of them… Especially after so a few years collectively! However, the Moonshot actor revealed that within the time since, the 2 have managed to fix their friendship:
“We’re good friends now, which is awesome. We work really well together now.”
So nice to listen to! However, trying again, Cole doesn’t appear to have any regrets in regards to the years he spent together with her:
“I think that was exactly where we both needed to be. We were in a foreign city, working a very intense schedule — 14 hours a day, often six days a week — alone. We really leaned on each other while also going through the elected trauma of this incredible overnight success, a ton of criticism, a ton of expectations. I think we did the best we could, really. I really think we did. I’m very grateful in very many ways that I was able to go through it with someone going through the exact same circumstances with me.”
He added, nevertheless:
“But also, in very many ways, all the cliches about dating someone you work with are very true.”
Yep. Don’t s**t the place you eat. It’s an adage for a purpose.

The Five Feet Apart actor then went on to say one thing a contact controversial — that his and Lili’s relationship “absolutely” lasted longer than it ought to have, solely as a result of they labored collectively:
“There was a lot of pressure towards other people, really. I think if I had loved myself a little more, I probably would have left a little earlier. But I just felt like I had to take care of a lot of people around me, which was not good for me. I probably should have exercised a lot more selfishness in that situation.”
Yikes! Does this have something to do with speaking about being cheated on?? In context it kinda sounds prefer it… He added that his “private” nature additional “complicated” issues:
“We didn’t make a big deal when we split. So afterwards, when I was photographed — as a single man — dating other women, I think it caused people to think there was something dubious going on. I took a moral stance that I was never going to talk about it, and I realize now, in hindsight, that I should have said something right away. I realize that grey area created a lot of rumor and gossip that ended up affecting me and my mental health afterwards. So, in an inverse way, the silence and mystery of that grey area created a fertile petri dish of bulls**t that was my own mistake.”
So whereas he says he doesn’t have many regrets in regards to the relationship, its ending was a giant one. Not solely would he have left sooner, he would change the best way they cut up — which he initially claimed was “mutual,” earlier than admitting that he was truly the one to depart:
“When you’re in a relationship for that long and someone leaves, it’s not like someone’s like, ‘WHAT?!’ It’s not a surprise. So I don’t like to say, “Oh, I split.” Like… You get it. It was time. This was proper earlier than COVID, so it additionally gave us the house, since we acquired locked down, which I believe was good.”
