Childhood and Youth

Madelaine Grobbelaar Petsch was born on August 18, 1994, in the small town of Port Orchard, Washington, USA. Her parents are from South Africa, and she split her time between both countries until she was ten years old.

At school, her peers cruelly mocked Madelaine because of her bright red hair (she and her brother were the only redheads in town), her South African accent, and the fact that she didn't identify with any religion.
I was the weirdest kid in this small town. I was often laughed at. My brother protected me, throwing stones at the bullies.
Petsch began dancing at three, attended a theater studio from the age of five, and later went to an art school. Right after graduating, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. To make ends meet in the big city, Madelaine worked part-time as a barista.

Acting Career

In 2014, Madelaine appeared in a national ad campaign for Coca-Cola. The brand had just rebranded their packaging, introducing "personalized" labels, and photos of a joyfully laughing Madelaine (holding a bottle labeled "Brie") appeared on street billboards, in subways, and on airplanes.

The following year, she landed two small roles in David Yarovesky's horror movie "The Hive" and the horror film "The Curse of Sleeping Beauty" (dir. Pearry Teo).

In February of the same year, Petsch was cast as Cheryl Blossom in the teen drama series "Riverdale", based on the "Archie" comics. She portrays a rich, spoiled girl who recently lost her twin brother in a mysterious tragedy.

Filming for the series began in September of the same year, and the premiere was on January 26, 2017. Madelaine's co-stars on set were KJ Apa, Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, and other young actors.

The project was a huge success, and Madelaine instantly gained a massive fan base, with her Instagram follower count reaching millions.

For her role in 2017, Petsch received a Teen Choice Award in the category "Choice Hissy Fit".

In December 2017, viewers had the chance to see Petsch's acting in the comedy "F the Prom" (dir. Benny Fine), which didn't gain much popularity.

In 2019, the movie "Polaroid" directed by Lars Klevberg premiered, telling the story of high school students experimenting with a deadly "cursed" camera.

Besides filming in the project that brought Madelaine global fame, she also appears in other productions. For instance, in 2020, viewers could see her in the thriller "Sightless" and in the web-series "Day by Day".

Personal Life of Madelaine Petsch

Madelaine grew up vegetarian like her parents, then went full vegan at 14, cutting out all animal products.
I felt much healthier. There was no lethargy due to the lack of milk or eggs in my diet.
In 2017, Petsch teamed up with PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) for an awareness campaign.

Petsch dated American musician Travis Mills. The two first crossed paths during "Riverdale" casting when Travis auditioned for Jughead Jones. Though Mills lost out on the role to Cole Sprouse, he reached out to congratulate Madelaine online and they became Facebook friends. When the first season dropped, they finally met in person at an LA party and became inseparable.

Her boyfriend's extensive tattoo collection caught Madelaine's eye, though she's pretty firm about her own ink stance: "I'm super indecisive, and I like everything neat and organized. I know I'd get a tattoo and regret it the very next day."
In February 2020, news broke that Travis and Madelaine had called it quits. Her ex posted a lengthy, heartfelt message about their split on Instagram, opening up to his followers. Mills said he'd always have her back despite their split, but kept the real reasons private.

In March 2021, rumors swirled about Madelaine dating fencer Miles Chamley-Watson. Neither addressed the speculation.

In August 2023, Madelaine officially revealed her new boyfriend's identity on their one-year anniversary. Turns out, they'd actually known each other for nine years. The lucky guy? Anthony Li, a music manager who's worked with Halsey.

Fans constantly question whether Madelaine's full lips, vibrant red hair, and thick lashes are natural. "Everything about me is real: my lips, my hair color, and yes, even my butt," she fired back during a Cosmopolitan interview.

Madeline Petsch Now

"Riverdale" wrapped filming in 2023. The seventh season was the finale. Saying goodbye to the project, 28-year-old Madeline revealed that wrapping the show was one of the hardest weeks of her life. "The people I work with — the cast and crew — are truly some of the most phenomenal people on this planet. I was very lucky to have been with them for seven years," Petsch shared. The actress also revealed her plans to "detach" from Cheryl and move on to the next chapter of her career.

Even before "Riverdale" wrapped, Madeline landed a role in Renny Harlin's trilogy "The Strangers". The actress, along with Froi Gutierrez, played a couple traveling across America. A car breakdown forces them to make an unplanned stop, leading to horrific consequences. The filming of all three parts was completed in just two months.
