'Riverdale' actor Charles Melton expecting first child with Camille Summer-Valli

The news was shared on Instagram, quickly attracting attention from fans and fellow actors

Charles Melton, best known for his role in Riverdale, is preparing to become a father, as his girlfriend Camille Summer-Valli is expecting the couple’s first child.

The news was shared by Summer-Valli through an Instagram post over the weekend, which quickly attracted attention from fans and fellow actors.

She captioned a series of personal photographs with the words, “making a lil family.” The images included moments of the couple together, including one in which Melton is seen kissing her pregnant belly.

The announcement prompted warm responses from within the industry. Melton’s Warfare co-star Michael Gandolfini commented on the post, writing, “Mom and dad!!! Love you both so much.” Fans also shared messages of congratulations as the update circulated widely on social media.

While Melton and Summer-Valli have largely kept their relationship private and have not formally confirmed their status, the pregnancy announcement appeared to confirm their partnership. A tip previously submitted to DeuxMoi stated that Summer-Valli was pregnant with Melton’s child, noting that “fans are slowly discovering the news” following her Instagram update.

Summer-Valli is a French-Australian artist and director, and the couple have maintained a low public profile compared with many of Melton’s Hollywood peers. Their decision to share the pregnancy news directly through social media offered a rare glimpse into their personal lives.

As he prepares for fatherhood, Melton’s professional schedule remains busy. In the coming year, he is set to appear in several film and television projects, including Her Private Hell, in which he stars alongside Sophie Thatcher. He will also feature in the second season of Beef.

In addition, Melton is due to reunite with his Warfare co-star Will Poulter in the forthcoming film Saturn Return, which also stars Rachel Brosnahan.
