Abstract
We propose a model to describe the late-time cosmic acceleration in the context of the constant-roll model. By considering a coupling between massive neutrinos and the quintessence, the onset of evolution of the quintessence is related to the neutrinos' behavior. When the neutrinos become non-relativistic, the dark energy density increases from zero and results in late-time cosmic acceleration alleviating the coincidence problem. The quintessence potential is such that it evolves under the constant-roll condition giving rise to persistent late-time acceleration.
