Val and Vlad ’till death do they part! Outer Banks stars Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline’s relationship may have not lasted, but their character onscreen romance is forever.
Stokes and Cline portray John B Rutledge and Sarah Cameron, respectively, on the Netflix series, which premiered in April 2020 and introduced viewers to the coastal island off North Carolina. The Maryland native and the Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery star’s characters, who are from opposite sides of the tracks, form an instant connection, facing — and overcoming — roadblocks that threaten to tear them apart at every turn.
Fans instantly fell in love with John B and Sarah’s Romeo and Juliet-like love story, much due in part to the actor’s palpable chemistry. The sparks between Stokes and Cline eventually flew behind the camera, as well, and the duo confirmed they were dating in June 2020.
Initially, the twosome were afraid of how their real-life romance would affect the show and tried their best not to act on their feelings.
“At that point in time, we were so anxious about the show and so nervous about constantly screwing up. I think we were all under this sort of strange umbrella of, like, ‘Dear God, we got an opportunity. Let’s not screw it up!’ So, it was just always work-oriented — really until the day we wrapped,” Stokes exclusively told Us Weekly in February 2021. “It wasn’t until after that, until we started to kind of get into the [coronavirus] lockdown where we were like, ‘Is there something here or am I crazy?’ That’s sort of where it bloomed from there. I think we were just so invested in the work.”
The pair were together for less than a year before they called it quits and Us confirmed the split in November 2021, after season 2 of Outer Banks
