Madelyn Cline Dating History
Cline famously dated her Outer Banks costar Chase Stokes whom they were romantic interests of one another in the show. Fans suspected that they had some onscreen chemistry and in 2020 they went Instagram official.
“It’s really cool…It’s cool to share this experience with your favorite people and also your favorite person…I feel very happy,” she told Entertainment Tonight in 2020.
Cline shared that their relationship working with one another made their romance grow.
“I think because we were friends before this; we understood how we worked as individuals before we were seeing each other,” she added. “We knew how we worked professionally, and we knew each other’s personal boundaries…As a rule, we never bring anything negative to set. If there’s a disagreement or a conversation that needs to be had that could potentially rain on the parade for that day, that’s never something that happens before work.”
Stokes and Cline broke up in 2021 due to their busy schedules.
After Stokes, she dated lead singer of North of Nine, Jackson Guthy in July 2022 and later confirmed in December 2022. In July 2023, Cline unfollowed Guthy according to Elle but they never spoke about a split publicly.
Two months later she was romantically linked to Saturday Night Live alum, Pete Davidson. Their relationship lasted for almost a year but were not seen together after January 2024 in public. It was later reported that the two had broken up after being together on-and-off for 10 months. “Things have fizzled out and they are no longer seeing one another,” a source told Entertainment Tonight at the time.
Cline has spoken about keeping her love life private and if Williams and her are dating, the public most likely won't know for some time.
“Some people can do it,” she told the Today show in 2023 about putting your love life out in the public. “[But] if you give everything, like, 100 percent of your energy, away, where’s the rest for yourself? You finally understand why people in the public eye keep their circles small.”
She continued, “I realized there are parts of my life that only me or one other person are entitled to. I prefer it that way. It also just makes things more special. That’s usually how relationships are.”
