'Riverdale' News & Update: Jughead Makes A Move On Betty, 'Bughead' Is For Real?

Although the hamburger-obsessed Jughead Jones was clearly asexual in the popular "Archie" comics, the real-life version in The CW's "Riverdale" seemed to be having more feelings than he was supposed to. While people are still confused as which girl to ship to Archie Andrews, it seems that fans are now shifting their attention to Betty Cooper and Jughead Jones' very own sweet connection.

In the "Archie" comics, it seems like Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) and Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes) have the most connection romantically, but the red-headed teen also had his moments with Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart). His relationship with the two girls have their positive and negative sides, making the readers even more confused on who to choose for Archie to be his official leading lady.

As if the confusion in the comic books was not enough, the "Riverdale" series is adding another unlikely character to the already complicated love triangle -- everyone's favorite, Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse). After four episodes of trying to figure out what's running through Jughead's brain, the show gave fans a squeal-worthy moment when the supposed-to-be asexual teen planted a sweet kiss on Betty's lips in "Riverdale" season 1 episode 5.

Based on the mega-successful "Archie" comic books, Jughead Jones was expected to only feel love for one thing -- Pop's hamburger! However, The CW adaptation series is giving the viewers a different side of Archie Andrews' best friend, making them realize that he may be the better choice to sweep Betty Cooper off her feet.

Meanwhile, what makes the Betty-Jughead tandem even more ship-worthy is that Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse have amazing chemistry on-screen. Their connection is so real for most of the fans that they have decided to give the characters a couple name, Bughead.
