Reggie Mantle is a principal character from the Riverdale fandom.

Canon

 * Veronica Lodge

Veronica and Reggie have a flirtatious and sometimes antagonistic relationship throughout their sophomore year, which at one point results in Veronica punching Reggie. After Reggie shortly works for and is abandoned by Hiram Lodge during the riot, he sobers up and reprioritises, which gives them a clean slate. After buying Pop's from her father, Veronica decides to open a speakeasy in its basement and hires Reggie as a bartender/manager. They spend a lot of time together and their natural flirtation resurfaces, as they become friends. Their sparks culminate in a kiss and they start a relationship, temporarily halted by Archie's return to Riverdale, but that break-up is finalised. Reggie and Veronica move forward together as each others' support and partners in crime, until Reggie starts having feelings for Veronica and worries they're not reciprocated. Though Veronica develops feelings for him, too, she's not ready for another full-blown relationship and they break up. When her parents announce their divorce, Veronica seeks comfort with Reggie. Upon realising what she's going through, Reggie doesn't think it's the right time for them and ends things. They almost get back together, until Veronica suddenly dumps Reggie to reunite with Archie. Reggie is hurt by this, but the death of Archie's father curtails his resentment as he supports his childhood friend. Reggie and Archie make amends after Archie supports him through the abuse Reggie faces from his father. Reggie seems to mend fences with Veronica, helping her out with a charity car wash at Pop's, later offering her his help getting back at Hiram, and also helping her out at La Bonne Nuit intermittently in their senior year. After graduation, Veronica leaves town while Reggie stays and they don't see each other for 7 years.


 * Betty Cooper

When Reggie first comes to Riverdale, he stays with Archie and spots Betty across the way through their windows, asking Archie who she is. At school, when Archie introduces him to everyone, they all fawn over him, but Reggie specifically asks the quiet Betty if she's a Vixen and flirts with her. Betty later gets 'assigned' Reggie as her player to 'care for' as part of being a Vixen and they study together. When Reggie says she doesn't have to help him, Betty overshares about her punishment and stripping with Archie, making an overwhelmed Reggie scarper. After that they don't really interact, although Betty has a daydream about kissing Reggie in the showers.

At a key party at Cheryl Blossom's estate, Reggie picks Fangs's key, decides to go along with it and kisses Fangs. Despite them leaving together, it doesn't amount to anything.

 * Josie McCoy

During the second semester of their sophomore year, Josie and Reggie hook up while on drugs and start a fling. Reggie moreso pursues Josie, which she seems to enjoy, and they also become running mates for Student Body President. At the end of their sophomore year, they drop out of the race, but still appear to be together. However, they break up off-screen sometime around the beginning of summer. Despite being broken up, they remain friends and Reggie is happy for Josie when she gets a gig at the speakeasy. They also try to uncover their parents secrets, along with Kevin, regarding the G&G game during their junior year. Josie then leaves town to tour with her Dad, but returns to attend the funeral for Fred Andrews. Josie and Reggie attend a July 4 tribute to Fred at the Andrews house, where they sit next to each other, playing with sparklers and watching the fireworks.


 * Archie Andrews

While in the 1955 timeline, Reggie becomes Archie's roommate and the two grow close. After mistakenly watching part of a gay stag film together, he and Archie have a threesome with sex worker Twyla Twyst. The morning after they watch the sun rise and they tell each other they love one another, although in what context is left ambiguous.
