Kelsea had “never seen” Outer Banks before they met.

As the face of one of Netflix’s hottest teen dramas, there’s a lot of interest in who Chase Stokes is dating now and if he has a girlfriend after his breakup with Madelyn Cline.

Stokes—who is best known for playing John Booker Routledge in Netflix’s Outer Banks—dated Cline (who plays John B.’s love interest, Sarah Cameron) from 2020 to 2021. Since then, he’s been linked to singers like Kelsea Ballerini and model Izabella Metz. In an interview with Esquire in February 2023, Stokes opened about comparisons between him and John B. “I would say nine times out of ten, when people come up to me on the street, it’s John B. not Chase,” he said. “At first, your ego says you want to be known as your own self, and I just had to really redirect that by saying, ‘You know what? You’re hiding behind the lens of the character, and people have fallen in love with that character, so that they just see that right now. And that’s a beautiful thing, and it means I’ve done my job.’”
