Outer Banks' Chase Stokes & Madelyn Cline on Filming Post-Breakup
Pogue-on-Pogue macking is all part of the job.
That was the case forOuter Banks'Madelyn Cline, who filmedseason three of the Netflix series just months after her real-life breakupwith co-star Chase Stokes. Though there were admittedly "some aspects" of playing Sarah—who is still very much datingChase's John B on the show—that were different after their split, the 25-year-old said in aPeopleinterview published Feb. 23 that "at the end of the day, there's always been a safe space with the job."
"We've said from day one, our job is always to leave the show and the season better than when we left it last," she explained. "And everybody is still very much a family. Outer Banks has always been a family. And I'm just happy that we are able to remain professional."
As for Chase? He was also focused on the task at hand when the two returned to set.
"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," he toldEntertainment Weeklyearlier this month. "No matter what happens in our personal lives, and the ways that life sometimes takes you in different directions, that we're always going to honor the work."
Madelyn and Chase, 30, firstwent public with theirromancein June 2020,shortly after the season one premiere ofOuter Banks. However, news that they had called it quits came a year later, when a source told E! Newsin November 2022 that the couple had "been done for a while" with their offscreen relationship.

Since then, Madelyn has been linked to musicianJackson Guthy, with the actress recently sharing that she's "happily taken."
"All I know is he makes me incredibly happy," she said in herCosmopolitancover story this month. "And I've truly never been happier, and I feel very, very empowered."
Meanwhile, Chaseconfirmed his romancewithKelsea Ballerinion Valentine's Day."So proud of you, your heart & your beautiful soul," hecaptioned a cozy photo of the pairfollowing the release of the singer'sRolling Up The Welcome Matshort film. "Congrats kels."
Although Madelyn and Chase have both moved on from their split, it doesn't mean they aren't bringing the spark onOuter Banks. As Chase toldEWof their character's storyline in the upcoming season, "Part of me wants to continue down the road of peace for John B and Sarah, but if there's anything we know about this show, it's that it's going to take you for a wild ride."
