Riele Downs has attracted a lot of attention lately with her latest film Darby and the Dead, which is coming to Hulu on December 2. The actress is still quite young but has garnered some press because of her role in the TV show Henry Danger. She’s been in a handful of other movies and TV shows as well. But her time on Henry Danger has followed her, with fans still wondering if she and the show’s lead were a couple and even got married.
Who is Riele Downs?
Riele Downs is a young actress from Canada who has risen to prominence thanks to her breakout role in Henry Danger.
Her best friend is Lizzy Greene, who Riele met when they were both working on Henry Danger. Riele was also close to co-star Jace Norman, resulting in many fans speculating that they were dating and even getting married.
Riele has been nominated for the USA Kids’ Choice Awards in 2020 as the favorite female TV star for her time on Henry Danger, but she did not win.
She is also a political activist, using her Instagram to advocate for causes she believes in, including the Black Lives Matter movement. Talking to Glitter magazine in 2020, she spoke about the importance of representation in the film and entertainment industry, her belief in systemic racism in the USA and Canada, and the need to create stories centered on a broad range of personalities and dynamics.
Fashion is something that also appeals to Riele, and she has actually designed some of her own clothes and has posted them to her Instagram.
Is Riele Downs still acting?
Riele is still acting. In fact, she’s just getting started. Her latest film, Darby and the Dead comes out on December 2. Riele stars as The titular Darby Harper, a girl whose near-death experience granted her the ability to see and communicate with ghosts. Darby gets used to her powers, but it gets more complicated when her high school rival Capri (Auli’i Cravalho) dies unexpectedly and refuses to move to the afterlife.
People were concerned that the actress had died due to a fake Facebook post shared in 2021 claiming that she was dead. Nickelodeon put out a statement to correct the post to confirm that she is still alive.
As Riele is still quite young, it’s quite likely that her acting career will continue for some time yet, alongside her fashion work and political activism.

Is Jace Norman married to Riele Downs?

Both Riele and Jace are currently single.
