This isn’t the only rom-com Camila has booked for this year, as she’s set to star in another Prime Video film, Música, in April 2024. Música stars Camila’s IRL boyfriend Rudy Mancuso, who also directed, cowrote the script and composed the film’s original score and soundtrack.
The rom-com follows a young man (Rudy), who suffers from synesthesia, a condition which plagues him with music in his head. He soon has to come to terms with an uncertain future while balancing love, family and Brazilian culture in Newark, New Jersey.
Música is the most recent romantic comedy to come out from production company Wonderland, who are known for producing Netflix hits such as Love Hard, Holidate and Tall Girl.
Camila and Rudy quickly stirred up romance rumors after they started working together on Música in April 2022. Since then, the pair have confirmed their romance via social media and have made their red carpet debut.
After filming wrapped on Música, Camila first hinted at her romance with Rudy via Instagram in November 2022. “Life update,” the Riverdale alum wrote alongside a photo of Rudy playing with her dog.
Camila confirmed that she had been in her relationship with Rudy for “a few months,” while appearing on Dear Media’s “Going Mental” podcast in January 2023.
“I am still in the honeymoon, but it’s one of those situations where I feel like, and I’m really trying to temper myself here,” she said. “I don’t wanna like speak above and beyond, but I feel like I’ve known him my whole life, and that’s something I actually have never felt before.”
