Lili Reinhart Kind Of Shoots Down Theories That Joaquin Is Betty Cooper's Secret Brother on 'Riverdale'

A month or two ago, there was this pretty solid fan theory about Joaquin possibly being Betty Cooper’s secret brother on Riverdale — and now, Lili Reinhart is shattering it all to pieces.

The Riverdale actress spoke to Seventeen about that particular theory and debunked it all. Looks like Joaquin isn’t that secret brother after all, and that he’s still out there somewhere.

“I feel like I want to shut that theory down,” Lili says. “Maybe there was a romance between Alice and F.P., but Joaqu�n went on that bus to San Junipero and he’s just going, sadly for Kevin.”

She adds, “But you know what? I think that was for the benefit of my sweet little Kevin. I think you don’t want to see Kevin wrapped up in a Serpent. Even though Joaqu�n was a good guy, had a good heart.”

“It’s like, you want Kevin to be with someone who can be a bad boy but someone who maybe doesn’t get involved in murders. You know?”

Okay, so maybe she didn’t shut it completely down, but more put our attention elsewhere to Kevin’s relationships. Hmmm, we see what you did there Lili.
