Current relationship status
- Sprouse has not publicly confirmed a romantic partner since his split from Lili Reinhart in 2020.

Who is richer, Dylan or Cole Sprouse?
Five estimates from entertainment outlets show both twins hovering around similar net worth figures, with Cole slightly ahead in acting revenue.
| Twin | Estimated Net Worth | Primary Income Sources | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cole Sprouse | $8 million | Acting, endorsements, photography | Seventeen · Yahoo Lifestyle |
| Dylan Sprouse | $5 million – $8 million | Acting, All-Wise Meadery | Yahoo Entertainment · Wikipedia |
Three key points: both twins earned millions from Disney and CW contracts; Dylan supplements income with his Brooklyn meadery; Cole continues acting and photography. The net worth gap is narrow — likely within $2–3 million either way.
Is Cole Sprouse sober?
In early 2024, unverified social posts and tabloid mentions claimed Cole Sprouse had become sober, crediting his partner for support. No confirmed statement from Sprouse, his representatives, or a credible editorial outlet has been published. Without a primary source, the claim remains unsubstantiated.
What is clear: Sprouse has not publicly addressed substance use in interviews available in the research record.
The implication: without direct confirmation, the public narrative will likely remain speculative.
What happened to Cole Sprouse?
Beyond the Riverdale finale in 2023, Sprouse faced two notable events in 2024. First, unconfirmed reports surfaced about a sobriety milestone. Second, he publicly denied sexual abuse allegations through social media, according to entertainment coverage — though no legal filings or corroborating editorial reports were found in the research. The actor continues to work on film projects and maintain a photography career.
The pattern: unanswered questions keep Sprouse in the public eye.
Are Dylan and Cole Sprouse Irish?
No. The twins were born in Arezzo, Italy, to American parents. Their ancestry includes English, Scottish, and German roots, with no confirmed Irish lineage. The Italian birthplace often leads to confusion about nationality, but both are U.S. citizens raised in Long Beach, California (IMDb).
The confusion is understandable given the birthplace, but their American upbringing is well-documented.
