0:00Welcome to Durham News today, two minutes of news that mattered to Durham. Charles Melton, the 35-year-old actor best known for Riverdale, has welcomed his first child with girlfriend Camille Summers Valley. He shared sweet photos from his early days as a dad on Instagram, this past Monday, March 9. The couple first shared their baby news back in December of 2025 through a series of maternity pictures online. Melton was right there supporting her, from doctor's visits to tender moments together. Fans and friends quickly chimed in with love. His Riverdale co-star, Lily Reinhardt, left a heartfelt comment, and Marisol Nichols, who played a mom on the show, sink and grats too. Melton has always put family first, shaped by his own upbringing. With his dad serving over 26 years in the army, including during the Gulf War, young Charles stepped up as a father figure at just 11 years old. These days, he keeps his personal life private after past relationships with co-stars and others through attention.
