You may know him as Cody from The Suite Life of Zack & Cody or Jughead from Riverdale, but according to US Weekly, Montreal-based model Ari Fournier knows Cole Sprouse as her new beau.

Although it's not confirmed, the duo first hit tabloids back in February when they were seen together in Vancouver, where Riverdale is shot, holding hands.

For now, it seems the new duo is keeping pretty hush-hush on social media.

But who knows — we may just see them taking a romantic stroll up Mount Royal sometime soon.

Here's what we know about the Montrealer and her relationship with actor Cole Sprouse.

Who is Ari Fournier?

The 22-year-old model is from the South Shore of Montreal (yes, she speaks French!) and was scouted on Instagram when she was just 15, according to a video on her YouTube page.

She goes on to say that she had "the most simple childhood" growing up on a farm, which she says she’s happy she had.

Does Ari look familiar? If you’re not one of her 93K Instagram followers, chances are you’ve probably seen her in a variety of campaigns for brands like Urban Planet and Shoppers Drug Mart.

As for the best and worst parts of the industry, she says that although it’s hard to be away from family and friends, there’s nothing quite like getting the chance to see the world and make amazing friends from all over.

Where was she seen with Cole Sprouse?

The pair were first reported together by Page Six. Holding hands and wearing masks, the two were seen going to brunch and walking through Gastown, going "to some of [Sprouse's] favorite spots in Vancouver."

Sprouse has been playing Jughead Jones since Riverdale's beginning. The show is shot in Vancouver and the surrounding area and has picked up production since being delayed last year due to the pandemic.

MTL Blog reached out to Denis Gaumond of Folio Montreal, Fournier’s agency of representation here in the city, who confirmed that Ari, "is on the West coast this week."
