Outer Banks actress Madelyn Cline on moving on after split with co-star Chase Stokes

Madelyn Cline talks about her previous relationship with Outer Banks co-star Chase Stokes, how they’ve worked cordially together ever since, and the show’s balanced payroll in a new interview with Cosmopolitan.

The 25-year-old actress-model, speaking to the magazine’s February/March issue, said she and Stokes, 30, have been well working together since their split in November 2021 after more than a year of dating. .

“We always said the work remains intact,” the Goose Creek, South Carolina native told the publication. ‘Nothing else, personal or negative, will affect the work.’

He added that “while that’s not always easy, our job is to leave the show better than we found it, to leave the season better than we found it.”

Cline, who plays the role of Sarah Cameron in the Netflix teen drama opposite Stokes’ John B. Routledge character, said she was “really grateful” for the professionalism in advancing the streaming series.

The Glass Onion actress opened up about the struggles of fame when asked if she was going to publicly address her breakup with Stokes.

“My thing is, I don’t owe anybody an explanation,” Cline said. I am a very reserved person. There is a part of me that is for me and no one else.

Cline said she came to understand “in retrospect” that “doing [her] the public relationship made it everyone else’s business.

The actress, who has also been seen on Stranger Things, said the emotional impact of the split hit her “like a freight train” at the time.

“I realized the negative side effects of that as I was going through the breakup, I realized that I had let people in and then I felt like I couldn’t get anyone out. I wanted us both to move on and be happy. People see the need for sides. There are no sides, there is no winning or losing in a breakup,” Cline said.

Cline, without giving names, said she is currently “happily taken” in a relationship.

“All I know is that he makes me incredibly happy,” she said. ‘And I’ve really never been happier, and I feel very, very empowered. Love is tight. And when you find something like that, you fight for that shit. And also, you fight to keep it yours, you know?

Cline also chatted with the outlet about how she saw false rumors online that she would not be returning for the third season of Outer Banks.

“I remember being tagged in something and I was like, ‘Am I not coming back for season 3?'” Cline said. “That is the only time I have ever gone on social media and addressed a personal rumor. But when I did, I misspelled the word “thankful.”

She added: “I was full of a glass of wine at the time, like, ‘Okay, I have to delete this now.'”

Cline said there was “never any question” that she would return for the show’s third season, adding of her character: “I love Sarah and I love this job.”

Cline also commented on the pay parity among the series’ cast, as he said that “everyone makes the same amount” of money.

“It’s a team and we all work equally hard,” Cline said. “We were very open to wanting the same thing for everyone and feeling like everyone is fairly compensated.”
