Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline Are Seeing If They Can Reconcile

Outer Banks co-stars Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline ended their relationship a little over a month ago, but a source told Entertainment Tonight that they're exploring the possibility of a romantic reconciliation. Slowly.

Both actors “did their own things when they were broken up,” the source explained, which is what young people often do when they take a relationship break. But after some time has passed, they ultimately “felt like they were trying to force themselves into being single.”

“Madelyn and Chase care about one another,” the source continued. “They felt like they had to be apart to get back on track and be together in the future. Their relationship was very serious before and right now, they're slowly easing back into things and giving it another try. They're not full on back together, but they're taking it slow and seeing where things go.”

After their break up, neither Stokes nor Cline erased their history on social media, leaving up pictures they appeared in together or of each other.

Stokes and Cline work closely on the show, with their 16-year-old characters John B and Sarah even getting married. Stokes, who is actually 28, supported the fictional decision.

“Everybody has their own experience, right? It works for some people,” Stokes said in July. “We've seen couples who got married at 16 who are now in their 80s and early 90s who are still together and wildly in love. So I don't think that the age should specifically define it. I think love is something that should move that needle.”

Cline, who is 23, agreed, saying, “Love is love. I also think when you know, you know.”

At the time of their break up, another source told ET, “Madelyn and Chase have broken up. It just wasn't working between them anymore.”
