Following their divorce, Chase Stokes has spoken out about his strong bond with Madelyn Cline.
The couple met while filming Outer Banks together and quickly got close, generating rumours that they were dating behind the scenes.
They made their Instagram debut in June 2020, throwing admirers into a frenzy with adorable photos and remarks.
It wasn’t to last, as they called it quits the following November, with Chase lately connected to artist Kelsea Ballerini.
In a recent interview ahead of the release of season three of Outer Banks on Netflix on February 23, the John B actor stated that, despite their split, he intended to prioritise his connection with his castmate.
‘A long time ago, we agreed to always put the work first. So I think going into this next chapter, we just wanted to equally honor that promise,’ he said.
‘Truth be told, she’s an incredible actress. She’s a lovely human being. And I’m over the moon and just super proud of the work that we’ve done over the past three seasons.
‘I’m always going to root for her.’
After a very intimate Instagram photo of him and Kelsea surfaced, he suggested that they’d just been spending some time together.
‘Kelsea is a gorgeous, lovely girl,’ he told People Magazine. She’s fantastic. We’re enjoying ourselves.’
Madelyn, who portrays Sarah Cameron in the hit show, has also moved on from their romance, telling Cosmopolitan that she is ‘happily taken’ with a mysterious man.
Despite the fact that the former couple met at work, the Glass Onion actress previously said that they set boundaries for themselves to ensure that their personal lives did not interfere with their job duties.
Appearing on the Talk in 2021, before their split, she said: ‘The biggest thing for me going back to work, I was nervous, because for me my workspace was incredibly sacred. It’s very personal to me and I do not like to bring any sort of personal troubles to my workspace.
‘I’m notorious for even turning my phone off and not answering it for hours, or just like leaving it in my trailer, because I like to focus on what’s in front of me. I’m very much of a one-track mind kind of person.
‘We laid the groundwork first and foremost, and I was like, “This is a big priority to me, and you know, from what I know based on how you work, it is for you too.
‘“But I want to make sure that we hold each other accountable and that we don’t bring anything personal that could potentially distract each other or our fellow castmates on the day.” So, it wasn’t hard at all, and I really respect that about him and our relationship.’
