Summer is just weeks away which means it’s officially Outer Banks szn—or, more specifically, Outer Banks Season 2 szn. And this time we’re going into the show knowing that the chemistry between John B and Sarah is 100 percent legit because yep, Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline are dating IRL. In other words, please feel free to read into any and all rain-soaked kisses henceforth.
And speaking of kisses, Chase and Madelyn just blessed the world with a public makeout session at the MTV Movie and TV Awards, and their chemistry was best described as 💦💦💦. Especially compared to that of poor Addison Rae and Tanner Buchanan, whose kiss was…how does one put this delicately….massively trolled all over Twitter.

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.”
