Madelyn Cline Got Real About Breaking Up With Chase Stokes And Her Current Relationship Status

"I am a really private person. There’s a part of me that is for me and nobody else. But in hindsight, duh, making my relationship public made it everybody else’s business."

You also probably know that the co-stars became a real-life couple while working together, dating from June 2020 to October 2021.

In a new interview with Cosmopolitan, she says she "doesn't owe anyone an explanation" for how the split went down — and that, if anything, anticipating such an expectation made her breakup with Chase that much harder.

"I am a really private person," she explained. "There’s a part of me that is for me and nobody else. But in hindsight, duh, making my relationship public made it everybody else’s business."

"And I realized the negative side effects of that while going through the breakup, realizing I had let people in and then felt like I couldn’t get anybody out. It just hit me like a freight train."

Madelyn also said that she wanted her and Chase to "move on and be happy." "People see the need for sides," she added. "There are no sides—there’s no winning or losing in a breakup.”

She also dished on her current relationship status and revealed that she is "happily taken" without specifying who, specifically, she is dating. "All I know is he makes me incredibly happy," she added. "And I’ve truly never been happier, and I feel very, very empowered."

"Love is tight. And when you find something like that, you fight for that shit. And also, you fight to keep it yours, you know?”
