'Outer Banks' Cast's Love Lives: Who the Stars Are Dating in Real Life

Modern love! 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 on the streaming platform in April 2020, and soon after, viewers began to wonder whether sparks were flying between Sarah and John B. (Cline and Stokes, respectively) off camera.

“I’m really, really attracted to intellect. Any mental thing. Physicality sort of becomes a secondary thing for me,” the Maryland native told Glamour in April 2020, revealing at the time that he was newly single. “I’m so in tune with people’s hearts and people’s souls and deep conversations before I even start to look at the sexuality stuff. I’m not a typical, sexual-driven male.”

Stokes explained that he felt more attracted to the ability to “have a deep, in-depth conversation with somebody” than to superficial aspects. “Anybody that can get in touch with my brain and then my soul, that’s what’s going to turn me on the most,” he added.

Two months later — and after plenty of fan speculation — Stokes and Cline made their relationship Instagram official. “Cats outta the bag ❤,” the One of Us Is Lying actor captioned a sweet post, to which Cline replied, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.”

Though their characters’ chemistry is undeniable, it wasn’t until the pair quarantined together amid 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? How do we make it about Sarah Cameron and John B?'”

The couple’s connection was so convincing during season 1 that they were shoo-ins for Best Kiss at the MTV Movie and TV Awards in May 2021. While accepting their trophy, Cline cut off her beau’s speech with a big smooch.

Netflix confirmed in July 2020 that a second season of the teen drama was in the works, with Cline, Stokes, Madison Bailey (Kiara), Jonathan Daviss (Pope), Rudy Pankow (JJ), Austin North (Topper), Drew Starkey (Rafe) and Charles Esten (Ward Cameron) returning to the beach for more adventures.

Madelyn Cline

The South Carolina native fell hard for Stokes while filming the Netflix series, and after plenty of speculation, the twosome confirmed their romance in June 2020.

Before making his Hollywood dreams come true, Stokes dated high school sweetheart Xiomara Montalvo, but the pair ultimately called it quits. "I went through a breakup a little bit before [COVID-19] quarantine, and it was with somebody I'd been with for almost 10 years," the actor told New York Magazine's The Strategist in May 2020, one month before making his relationship with Cline Instagram official.

Rudy Pankow

Based on his social media, the Politician alum is prioritizing self-care, traveling and friendships over romance. Even his character stuck to the single life. "I'm not complaining," he told Us exclusively of his lack of love story on the Netflix series. "I think JJ is not really looking for a lady friend. But season 2, that could be a different story."

Madison Bailey

The North Carolina native opened up about her pansexual identity in June 2020 and revealed her relationship with Mariah Linney, a University of North Carolina Charlotte women's basketball player, the same month. "I have very accepting friends, a very accepting family, an industry that's very welcoming and very accepting," Bailey said during a virtual Q&A at the time. "Being open and honest feels so good."

Like Pankow, not much is known about the Texas native's offscreen love life — but his Instagram account is filled with family, friends and his swoon-worthy singing voice.

Austin North

While he doesn't appear to have a special someone in his life at the moment, North was previously linked to Sadie Robertson. The Duck Dynasty alum told Us exclusively in August 2018 that the duo went their separate ways after four months together. "It just didn't work out," she admitted at the time.

Charles Esten

His younger costars may still be searching for The One, but Esten found his long ago. The Nashville alum has been married to college sweetheart Patty Esten since 1991 and the pair share three children.

Drew Starkey

Starkey was last linked to Knives and Skin actress Claire VanDerLinden in 2014, but the duo's current status remains up in the air.

Aly Raisman: A Day in My Life

Aly Raisman ’s life has looked quite different since she officially hung up her leotard and retired from gymnastics in 2020. But even though she’s not spending as much time at the gym, the former gymnast, 26, still makes it a point to live a healthy lifestyle. On a typical day in her life, Raisman will do a Pilates session to maintain her svelte physique. After years of intense training, the three-time Olympic gold medalist found that the method — which involves low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements — not only benefited her body, but her mind too. “When I have a good workout, I feel more calm and I feel more connected to my body,” she told Women’s Health in January. “That is a very different answer that I would have given you a couple of years ago. If I were training, I would have probably said a good workout to me is when I push myself as much as I can … I think I pushed myself enough for most of my life. So, now I just want to leave the gym feelin...
