26 october 2025 в 19:37
Rudy Mancuso may have started making people laugh on Vine, but he didn’t stay in the digital sandbox for long. The multi-talented musician, actor, and director turned his online fame into a real Hollywood career, directing and starring in the Amazon Studios film Música. While working on the project, he met Riverdale alum Camila Mendes — and their connection quickly became personal.
After more than two years together, the couple took the next step in their relationship with a romantic proposal on October 24, 2025. According to a source quoted by PEOPLE, it all happened during a surprise engagement, where «Rudy proposed to her in front of their family and friends». The celebration continued later that night at a costume and tequila-themed birthday party for Glenn Powell.

Mancuso initially gained popularity on Vine in early 2013, creating short comedic sketches that combined music and culture. His transition to YouTube allowed him to gain millions of subscribers and billions of views.
Mancuso — a true multi-talent — is a self-taught musician who, as he told Billboard magazine, «approached the piano when he was about 5 years old and started playing».
«I think it made sense to me», - he added.
In his debut feature film, Mancuso wrote, directed, acted, and composed the soundtrack for the coming-of-age story Música, in which Mendes also starred.
In a 2024 interview with PEOPLE, Mancuso recalled the creative connection that developed between them during the filming of the movie, saying, «You could say that the chemistry was there from the moment we met, and it was definitely visible on screen».
Mancuso was born and raised in New Jersey, but spent part of his childhood in Rio de Janeiro — his mother is Brazilian, and his father is Italian-American. He is fluent in Portuguese.
Mancuso and Mendes officially announced their relationship on Valentine’s Day 2023 after meeting during the filming of Música. That same year, they began appearing together at major events, including their debut on the red carpet. During an appearance on the Going Mental podcast in January 2023, Mendes talked about the early stages of their romantic relationship, saying she was still in the «honeymoon phase». «I think for now I’ll leave everything as it is», - she shared about wanting to keep her personal life private. «Because the thing is, I love so hard when I love, that I always want to show off my loved one… I get so sweet and sticky with it»
