Madelyn Cline has epic reaction to meeting someone whose 'romantic life is popular on the internet' after split from Pete Davidson.

Love it or hate it, celebrities and their lives are always in the spotlight. While this often leads to gossip and entertainment among audiences and fans, for stars it can be overwhelming and stressful to be constantly under scrutiny.

Take “Outer Banks” star Madelyn Cline, for example. She has spoken openly in public about the challenges of dating, especially after her split from comedian Pete Davidson. In a recent interview, Cline addressed the intense media attention and online speculation surrounding her personal life and romantic relationships.

She noted that netizens enjoyed creating memes about her. When asked about the breakup, which Cline clarified happened in early 2024, she said she “tend not” discuss their relationship, according to the outlet.

However, when asked what it's like to be with someone whose romantic life is “obsessed” with the Internet, according to PEOPLE, she simply replied, “The jokes write themselves.”

Sources first confirmed to PEOPLE in September 2023 that the actress and Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson were dating. Shortly after, Cline was spotted at Davidson's stand-up show in Las Vegas.

The couple's split occurred in July 2024. The duo had reportedly broken up after almost a year together, following which news emerged that Pete was going to rehab.

Before dating Davidson, Cline was linked to DJ producer Zack Bia and, perhaps most notably, her Outer Banks co-star Chase Stokes. The duo confirmed their relationship in June 2020, just months after the release of the first season of the hit Netflix series. However, towards the end of 2021, they finally parted ways.

While Cline doesn't like the media focusing too much on her personal life, her ex Pete Davidson has also been open about managing his personal and romantic life under constant media scrutiny. A few months earlier, in March 2023, Davidson discussed the challenges of living in public on the Real Ones podcast.

“I'm in my 20s and I've been dating people and for some reason it's very crazy and interesting to people. I don’t think it’s interesting,” he said.

He further explained that after being in show business and on national television for 14 or 15 years, he has dated about ten people. Even though he didn't think it was a big deal, the public couldn't stop talking about it.

On the work front, Cline's hit series Outer Banks will return with the highly anticipated fourth season, premiering October 10 on Netflix.
