He then went on to audition for the role of Kevin, and he was cast in the show. A day after landing the part, he went up to Vancouver for filming. He revealed, “I remember sitting there, knowing I’m going to be there for six months and thinking, like, Holy smokes, I have a job and it’s going to be on TV and I’m working with these actors that are really good. Just that I have a job in acting is super cool, and to be on a job that millions and millions and millions of people are watching – I geek out about it.”

There's no doubt that Casey is a gifted actor, but there's so much more to him than that – his history as an actor, his unique position in Riverdale, and the allegations surrounding his love life. But why did fans think he dated Sabrina Carpenters?

Why Do Fans Think He Dated Sabrina Carpenters?

Despite his efforts to keep his personal life private, rumors about Casey’s relationships with a number of Hollywood personalities have surfaced in the tabloids. He was rumored to have dated actress Stephanie Styles in 2017. He was also linked to his Riverdale co-star and best friend, Lili Reinhart.

Aside from them, Casey was rumored to have dated Sabrina Carpenter after acting as her love interest in her 2017 music video "Why." The couple kissed in the video, but they never addressed the claims, so it's possible that was the extent of their connection.

In an interview, Sabrina told Zach Sang about her love interest Casey Cott in the music video. She said, “He’s such a great actor, and I think like especially when we were looking for the person – obviously with music videos, it’s also kind of last minute. Not all the time, but it was one of those things where it was like, ‘Okay. We’re shooting this in three days, and we don’t have someone.’ And I was such a fan of him because I know he's such a good actor.”

Sabrina, who reportedly amassed $4 million net worth, and Casey’s chemistry really showed the screen, but their relationship didn’t extend offscreen. The actress revealed that Casey had a girlfriend, saying, “He’s got a wonderful girlfriend. We hit it off, the first day. He just made everything so easy and comfortable.”
