Madelaine Petsch, Travis Mills' Relationship and Breakup Timeline

Moving on. Madelaine Petsch is opening up about her mental health after splitting from longtime love Travis Mills, months after they called it quits.

“My mental health was at an all time low,” the Riverdale star told Flaunt Magazine in January 2021 when talking about the breakup leading into the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. “Every day was definitely a challenge and therapy was absolutely key for me to keep sane. My best friend moved in with me and that was a huge game changer for my mental health. I found ways to be creative while staying positive and reading books.”

She continued, “It really took me probably five months through this whole pandemic to get back to an okay mental state.”

The former flames first started dating in 2017 after Travis slid into Madelaine’s social media DMs. Throughout their time together, the pair constantly packed on the PDA and Travis made frequent appearances in Madelaine’s YouTube videos.

In February 2020, Travis took to Instagram and announced the couple had split after three years together. “While it pains me our journey has come to a close, I mean it when I say I’m so incredibly grateful to have shared the last 3 years with someone as compassionate, smart & wonderful as Madelaine,” the musician wrote at the time.

January 2017

Travis slid into Madelaine’s Facebook DMs and the rest was history!

“He messaged me on Facebook in January of season 1 [of Riverdale] and congratulated me on the show,” she told Cosmopolitan in October 2017. “He had auditioned for Jughead. I think we just randomly had mutual friends, so we added each other. We kept in touch very rarely, not even that much, from January to February, and then the day I got back from season 1 in February I was bored in L.A., believe it or not. I was like, ‘What am I gonna do?’ I got my hair cut and he texted me like, ‘Let’s go to a movie!’ We hung out and spent every single day together that I’ve been in L.A. since then, since February.”

Following the release of his single “Eyes Wide Shut,” Madelaine took to Instagram Stories and supported her ex.

“I remember when you sent me this demo a couple of months ago,” she wrote at the time. “You haven’t put out music in over three years but you worked your ass off on this and I’m so proud of you!”
