Camilla Mendes dreams of starting a big family.
Appearing on the In Your Dreams podcast on Thursday, April 9, the Riverdale star had her response locked and loaded when host Owen Thiele asked if she plans to have kids with fiancé Rudy Mancuso. “Fuck yeah!” she exclaimed.
The actress revealed that she wants to have at least two children. “I can’t wait to be a mom. I’m so excited,” she shared.
For Mendes, raising children takes a village – a village she hopes to create.
“I really want my community to live close to home. I want Rudy’s family to be closer. I want my dad’s side of the family to be closer, and I want to raise a beautiful family and have a little sanctuary,” she said. “I want to be successful enough in life, not overwhelming, but enough to live happily and comfortably and give my children the best life.”
But before he can start a family, Mendes first plans to walk down the aisle with Mancuso. The couple got engaged in October 2025 after three years of dating.
They first met while working on Musica, a 2024 American coming-of-age romantic comedy.
