Camilla Mendes has big dreams of a big family.
The Riverdale star appeared on the In Your Dreams podcast on Thursday, April 9, and had her answer locked and loaded when host Owen Thiele asked if she plans to have children with fiancé Rudy Mancuso. “Hell yes!” she exclaimed.
The actress revealed that she would like to have at least two children. “I can’t wait to be a mom. I’m kind of so excited,” she shared.
For Mendes, raising children takes a village — a village she hopes to create.
“I really just want my community to live close to me. I want Rudy’s family to come closer. I want my dad’s side of the family to come closer and I want to create a beautiful family and have a little sanctuary,” she declared. “I want enough success in life where it’s not overwhelming, but enough to live happily and comfortably and give my children the best life.”
But before she can start a family, Mendes plans to walk down the aisle with Mancuso first. The couple became engaged in October 2025 after three years of dating.
They first met while working on Musica, a 2024 American romantic comedy.
