Dating speculations started after the first season dropped in April 2020 after fans noticed the pair flirting on social media and frequently commenting on each other’s posts After publicly confirming their relationship on social media, Stokes and Cline dated for a year before calling it quits in November 2021 they remained professional on set and stayed friends "Mads (Cline) and I have been working together now for 30 episodes, and we made a promise to each other before we even started dating that the work was always going to come first," Stokes said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly However, many of their co-stars followed their lead. Throughout the series, fans “shipped” main characters JJ (Rudy Pankow) and Kiara (Madison Bailey) who had undeniable chemistry both on and off-screen “Rudy is my bestie,” Bailey said in an interview with Access Hollywood in May 2020 “He is the first person I’m going to call out of everybody We have a lot of chemistry because of that — because we are really good friends.” But as rumors about their real-life relationship spread, their friendship began to suffer. The pair, both single during the first season, were often seen together, fueling fan speculation However, things changed in 2020, Pankow started dating Elaine Siemek, who worked as an assistant on the “Outer Banks.” Around the same time, Bailey announced her relationship on Instagram with Mariah Linney a former women’s college basketball player shutting down any rumors that they were dating outside the show The rumors allegedly made Pankow and Bailey’s real-life partners uncomfortable the two struggled to be on set together and had to use stunt doubles for any romantic scenes Many fans pointed out that the pair had to use a stunt double in a scene where Bailey's character is lying on Pankow’s chest in Season 4 Many fans were frustrated by the two actors’ lack of professionalism They compared their maturity to Stokes and Cline who dated in real life but are still amicable and can perform romantic scenes without issue The feud resulted in Pankow leaving the show and his character being killed off at the end of the recent season Whether there’s more behind-the-scenes drama between Pankow and Bailey that has not been revealed Pankow’s departure from the show is a shocking blow to fans and many are left concerned about the future of the series without his character ch525822@ohio.edu @camiseymore Stokes' love for his costars comes two months after rampant speculation that the cast has fallen out with Rudy Pankow Monica Schipper/Getty; Steve Eichner/Variety/Getty; Jamie McCarthy/Getty  here’s what we know so far about ‘Reminders of Him’ Gilbert Flores/Variety via Getty ; Montlake Publishing ; Stephane Cardinale - Corbis via Getty Jon Kopaloff/Getty ; Gilbert Flores/Variety via Getty ; Maya Dehlin Spach/Getty Michael Interisano/Design Pics Editorial/Universal Images Group via Getty The shocking 'Outer Banks' season 4 part 2 finale is now available to stream on Netflix Rodin Eckenroth/FilmMagic; Donato Sardella/Getty © 2025 Advance Local Media LLC.

The couple met on the set of Outer Banks in 2019 as Siemek worked as an assistant to the show’s creator and writer, Jonas Pate. It was on set that Pankow and Siemek were able to get to know one another and eventually began dating. So if you’re curious about the details of Pankow and Siemek’s romance, allow us to break down the couple’s relationship timeline.  The pair officially took their relationship public when Pankow dedicated an Instagram to Siemek in honor of her birthday. The couple has kept their relationship very private, but this was one of the first looks into their relationship fans received. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rudy Pankow (@rudeth) Siemek found herself the target of online hate by fans of Pankow View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rudy Pankow (@rudeth) Pankow confirmed that while his relationship with Siemek is private The pair decided to take some much-needed vacation time In September 2022, Pankow and Siemek were off to Italy! Siemek shared photos on Instagram from their trip that were shot by Pankow. The couple spent some time in Paraggi Portofino where the scenery in the photos looks utterly dreamy. Two months later, the pair flew to Mexico where they experienced “Día de Muertos carnivals, Teotihuacan pyramids, and the restoration of a Mayan artifact.” The photos Siemek posted were breathtaking and I can see why she said that they loved Mexico City. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Elaine (@elameeeee) To wrap up their mini-world tour, the couple went to the island of Moorea, which is in French Polynesia. They couldn’t stay away from the beach and seeing the photos Siemek posted, I understand why. The tropical paradise is drool-worthy. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Elaine (@elameeeee) While the dreamy travels of the couple have come to an end, Pankow’s defense of his girl has not. In an interview with Cosmopolitan ahead of the release of Season 4, Part 2 of Outer Banks, Pankow on his complex feelings about social media following the backlash Siemek faced online “I think a lot of people can intertwine a narrative and what they want to believe.” “That’s why I spoke up—no one should go through something like that And that’s why social media is so tricky because sometimes it can enforce a narrative of a show as an actual narrative what we’re recording is meant to be consumed in the show But some people might take it as literal.”  Pankow later confirmed that he was in a happy but private relationship and that while his show storyline was fictional his relationship with Siemek was anything but I’m wishing the pair nothing but happiness Diane Paulus and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui stage the Shakespearean tragedy American Repertory Theater at Harvard University's production of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet officially opens September 5 following previews that began August 31 The popular title will soon be seen in a Broadway revival starring Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler, while a recent production just closed in the West End starring Tom Holland For tickets visit AmericanRepertoryTheater.org.
