Lili Reinhart is finally ready and willing to talk about her traumatic breakup with Riverdale co-star Cole Sprouse. While she does not explicitly name Sprouse, she spoke about how she spent the last few months healing after leaving a relationship. Her on-again/off-again relationship with Sprouse has caused a ton of life changes for her.
Talking to an online portal, Lili spoke about the withdrawal she felt, the darkest days during it and how she made herself ‘face my own pain head-on’ instead of giving into substances, having casual sex or food to escape it. She said the breakup was like a, “black tunnel (that) was never going to end. I couldn't see the light. I was like, I feel like I'm dying. It was f*cking rough, and there's no other way through it than just through it. I've seen a lot of people when it comes to heartache and grief and breakups, and they try to get that void filled with sex, with coke, with food, with drinking, (but) the void is still there. I took the road less traveled and just dealt with my shit. I had to face my own pain head-on.”

She further said, “The last couple of months have probably (been) the most emotional few months of my entire life. And my therapist (told) me, ‘Your body's going through withdrawal from love. You're used to having this exchange of happy chemicals between you and the person that you're with.’ In moments of my life, I have dropped every ounce of pride that I had just to be like, Love me. Please take the pain away for a day, a second, an hour, just so I can feel that fix again."
Lili also revealed about her new collection of poems Swimming Lessons that will release next month. Talking about her poems she said, “I felt the need to write that because I was scared-and I am scared-that people are going to try and create their own idea of what my love life looked or looks like. I'm not saying, My boyfriend fucked another woman. I'm saying, I felt betrayed.”
