They later confirmed their relationship in June 2020 on Instagram (via Elle). Throughout the lockdown period, their professional commitments became the reason to build their personal connection stronger. However, their love story was cut short. As per People, the former couple dated for over a year, and in November 2021, they split up privately.

Currently, Stokes is in a relationship with Kelsea Ballerini, and probably that’s why a recent behind-the-scenes video of Outer Banks has sparked discussions among fans. Netizens believe that in the video, Stokes is heard calling Cline “baby.”

However, it is still not completely confirmed whether it was Stokes saying it, or even if he said it, it doesn’t assure that he said it to Cline, as Madison Bailey was also seen talking in the clip. Moreover, Stokes might be saying it casually.

Although Stokes and Cline are no longer lovers, they still maintain professional behavior around each other. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Stokes said, 

Mads and I have been working together now for 30 episodes, and we made a promise to each other before we even started dating that the work was always going to come first.

Cline also shared similar thoughts with Cosmopolitan, where she said, “Nothing else, personal or negative, will touch the job.” However, some netizens believed that there was some sort of tension between Stokes, Cline, and Ballerini, which reignited discussions around the video.

Ballerini has never shown any sign of discomfort with Stokes’ past. Even though she does not watch Outer Banks, she has openly supported Cline several times. In a TikTok video where she was placing the characters of the show on a filter, Ballerini praised Cline, saying, “So hot. So hot. We stan Sarah Cameron and Madelyn Cline in this house.”

In the video’s comment section, fans asked her why she doesn’t watch the show, to which Ballerini replied playfully, 

Because he (Chase Stokes) and I have a deal! But I’ve seen so much of this season, and it’s badass. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS YOUR HONOR.

Ballerini and Cline’s relationship was also seen in the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, and the former also commented on the latter’s Instagram post saying, “You looked a ridiculous level of stunning and I’m glad I finally got to hug your neck.”

Their interaction shows a level of mutual respect and love that does not care about their past romantic entanglements. However, as Outer Banks Season 4 is keeping viewers busy on screen, the cast members’ interactions are keeping them busy behind the screen.

Outer Banks all seasons are available to stream on Netflix.
