Madelyn Cline's Dating Timeline: From Outer Banks Costar to Celebrity Revolving Door

When Madelyn Cline and Chase Stokes went from on-screen chemistry to real-life romance in 2020, it felt inevitable. The Outer Banks stars played Sarah Cameron and John B with such ease that fans were convinced their connection ran deeper than scripts and takes. But what happened after their November 2021 split reveals something worth watching: the actress has become something of a dating carousel, cycling through celebrity names, TikTok stars, and even royalty.

The pattern isn’t dramatic or messy—it’s actually refreshingly casual. After Stokes, Cline briefly linked up with DJ Zack Bia in late 2021, though Bia was quick to clarify on Barstool Sports’“BFFs”podcast that they were“just hanging out.”Then came musician Jackson Guthy in June 2022, a relationship that lasted until she unfollowed him on Instagram in July 2023. By September 2023, she was spotted at the Beverly Hills Hotel with Pete Davidson, a romance that felt almost inevitable given Davidson’s own history of high-profile connections. They lasted less than a year, with Cline confirming their split in September 2024 and quipping that“the jokes write themselves”about dating someone whose love life is constantly under a microscope.

What’s striking isn’t the speed of these rotations—it’s how unremarkable they’ve become. Prince Constantine Alexios (yes, Prince William’s godson) showed up in September 2025 for some PDA moments in New York City. Then came TikTok star Henry Smith, confirmed in April 2026 after an Easter video went viral, only to split just months later. In a July 2026 TikTok, Smith offered some grace to the breakup:“I’ve never been a believer in holding resentment towards people or dwelling or sulking. I just don’t think it’s helpful or productive or fosters happiness in life. But I do believe in moving forward.”

There’s a particular kind of currency attached to being Madelyn Cline’s boyfriend—a moment in the spotlight, a few paparazzi photos, and a clip in someone’s dating history recap. It’s neither cynical nor romantic. It’s just what happens when you’re an actress with a steady gig on a popular Netflix series who happens to be available and attractive. The Outer Banks universe keeps spinning on set, while her personal life has become its own season-by-season drama. The difference? We actually know how these episodes end.
