Camila Mendes Is Engaged — Meet Actor-Musician Fiancé Rudy Mancuso

Camila Mendes is gearing up to swing a sword as Teela in the live-action Masters of the Universe, so yeah, interest in her off-screen life just went into overdrive. The headline: she and her Música co-star Rudy Mancuso are engaged. If his name rings a bell from the internet days, that’s because it should.

Where they are now

Mendes and Mancuso got engaged in October 2025. They met making Mancuso’s 2024 film Música, where he did practically everything short of running craft services: he wrote it, directed it, composed the score, and starred opposite Mendes. The spark you saw in the movie didn’t stay on set for long.

"It is safe to say there was chemistry from the moment we met and it certainly was visible onscreen," Mancuso told PEOPLE.

Who exactly is Rudy Mancuso?

• Born February 28, 1992, he’s an American internet personality, musician, filmmaker, and actor who first blew up with comedy sketches on Vine and YouTube.
• He grew up in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, and spent a big chunk of his childhood in Rio de Janeiro — he’s fully fluent in Portuguese.
• Music has been baked in from the start: he taught himself piano at age five and is a full-on multi-instrumentalist.
• On the creator side, he launched the animated series Awkward Puppets.
• Feature leap: Música (2024). Mancuso wrote, directed, scored, and starred — and that’s where he and Mendes clicked for real.

Why this is popping now

With Mendes stepping into a fan-favorite role like Teela, the genre machine is buzzing and people want the full picture — including who she’s with. The fun wrinkle here is that her relationship with Mancuso is basically an extension of the work: two creatives who met on a project he built from the ground up, found a rhythm, and kept it going off camera.
