Outer Banks season 2 came in hot this year, but this season fans went into the show knowing that the chemistry between John B and Sarah was 100 percent legit since Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline were dating IRL. In other words, everyone really read into those rain-soaked smooches. But we probs won't be able to in the future since (1) season 3 of Outer Banks still isn't official yet, and (2) Maddie and Chase have broken up 😭😭😭.

The former couple's onscreen-to-IRL romance was the cutest thing, and now the only *logical* (and self-sabotaging) thing to do as we grieve is to relive all their adorable 'ship moments. Let us begin le deep dive into Chase and Madelyn’s relationship timeline from day. freakin’. one.

May 1, 2019

Filming begins on Outer Banks season 1, and Chase and Madelyn’s chemistry is off the charts. As Madelyn tells Seventeen, “There were things that Chase and I specifically added to the script that felt personal. You have to sell it. It’s got to be compelling. Thankfully, the cast all clicked and we had such great chemistry, so we all had this friendship from the very beginning. So building on that and then projecting it on the screen felt very, very real.”

Outer Banks starts streaming on Netflix and everyone is like…Huh! Chase and Madelyn have really good chemistry, lemme go ahead and watch this kiss over and over again!

May 1, 2020

Madelyn confirms to Cosmopolitan that she and Chase have been quarantining together since Outer Banks dropped, saying, “For most of quarantine, me, Rudy, Chase, Drew, and our friend Elaine, we were all quarantined together for about a month and a half. So before the show came out, we were all together, and then the show came out and we kinda got to experience this all coming to life together, which was really cool.”

The Outer Banks bloopers drop and people notice that the Vibes. Are. Flirty.

June 14, 2020

After a ton of speculation from fans, Chase pretty much confirms he’s dating Madelyn on Instagram by sharing a pic of them having a beach picnic along with the caption, “Cat’s outta the bag.”

The couple’s costar Jonathan Daviss hits the comments with, “Well it’s about time,” while Madelyn writes, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.”

June 15, 2020

Nary a day later, Chase drops this poem, which everyone assumes is about Madelyn. I mean…Shakespeare? Never heard of him.

June 18, 2020

A couple of days after Chase’s post, Maddie (we call her Maddie now) goes ahead and drops this:

Things then proceed to get cuter:

And cuter:

November 11, 2020

Madelyn tells Entertainment Tonight that she’s totally in love, saying, “It’s really cool. Love is tight. It’s cool to share this experience with your favorite people and also your favorite person.…I feel very happy.”

December 21, 2020

Chase gushes about how much he loves Madelyn on her birthday, writing, “It’s quite rare to meet somebody and feel everything change. Thank you for making the coldest days warm, for your infectious love, and being the best dog mom to Lil mi. Happy birthday sweet thang you make my heart warm and fuzzy 25/8.”

April 1, 2021

This sweetness happens:

April 4, 2021

Chase celebrates their anniversary by writing, “365 w/ u,” and Maddie responds, “And I’d do it again.”

Meanwhile, Maddie reveals she “adores” Chase in a photo dump.

Chase and Madelyn accept their Best Kiss award and the level of cuteness is simply unparalleled:

September 16, 2021

Uh oh...celeb Instagram page DeuxMoi posted that Chase and Madelyn allegedly broke up and that he was already seen at a party flirting with another girl. BUT, this is all just talk right now and rumors, so take it with a rather large grain of salt. If something gets confirmed either way, we'll have the tea for you ASAP. Until then, don't go getting married to this update since it is just a rumor at this point.

November 1, 2021

Sadly, it turns out that those DeuxMoi rumors were true after all—Chase and Madelyn ended their 'ship months ago at this point.

"They are definitely broken up," a source told People. Another insider echoed the statement, adding, "Madelyn and Chase are no longer together. They were trying to work things out privately but broke up a couple of months ago."

The former couple was together for more than a year. Sigh.
