Riverdale’s Kevin star Casey Cott is expecting his first child with new wife

Riverdale was flung back into the 1950s at the end of season six after the once quiet suburban town suffered from an explosion which created a rip in the universe. Kevin Keller (played by Casey Cott) is openly gay in modern times but is forced to hide his sexuality and his relationship with Clay Walker (Karl Walcott) in season seven. In the latest episode, Archie the Musical, the pair wrote a beautiful song for them as well as fellow secret couple Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch) and Toni Topaz (Vanessa Morgan) about keeping their love behind closed doors. While the song brought The CW and Netflix fans to tears, it wasn’t to be included in the musical as it was illegal to be part of the LGBTQ+ community. So it’s no wonder viewers are curious to know more about Kevin actor Cott’s love life away from the teen drama. Who is Riverdale actor Casey Cott married to?

He has been in a long-term relationship Nichola Basara for years, although it isn’t known exactly when they got together. Little is known about Nichola as she prefers to keep her private life out of the spotlight but Cott does regularly post pictures of them together. On December 19, 2020, he announced their engagement on Instagram and almost one year to the day, they tied the knot. The ceremony, which was attended by many of Cott’s fellow Riverdale stars, was held at the Four Seasons Resort Whistler in Canada, where Basara is originally from.

(Image: INSTAGRAM) According to People magazine, the loved-up couple are going to be welcoming a baby boy. Retelling the moment she found out, Basara explained: “We thought there was a chance I was pregnant but, you never really know until you know for sure! “I woke up before Casey on a Saturday morning and snuck into the bathroom to take a Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test…it VERY quickly said ‘pregnant,’ and I was so excited. ‘Only problem was that Casey was still fast asleep! I waited for him to wake up for two full hours. “Finally, when he woke up, I immediately showed him the front of the test. He was half asleep, but proceeded to jump out of bed and run around our bedroom celebrating.’ Riverdale season seven continues every Wednesday on The CW and every Thursday on Netflix .
