Madelyn Cline, Chase Stokes and more Outer Banks stars manage to keep the romance alive offscreen — and their real-life love stories make fans go wild.
The Netflix series became a major hit when it premiered in April 2020, and soon after, viewers began to wonder whether sparks were flying between Sarah and John B. (played by Cline and Stokes, respectively) off camera.
Two months later, Stokes and Cline made their relationship Instagram official. Though their characters’ chemistry is undeniable, it wasn’t until the pair quarantined together during the coronavirus pandemic that their feelings for each other grew more serious.
“I think we were just so invested in the work,” Stokes told Us Weekly exclusively in February 2021. “The biggest thing for me is being even more proud of her work now as her partner and watching her grow as an actress and watching her grow as a person through this. I think there’s always this element of [asking] ‘How can we make it not about Maddie and Chase?'”
Us ultimately confirmed in November 2021 that the pair split after one year of dating.
