Between filming for the fifth and final season of Outer Banks, promoting the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer film and a partnership with Tommy Hilfiger, Madelyn Cline has kept herself busy this year. But despite a booked work schedule, she’s also prioritizing much-deserved downtime as she was spotted out in London this week with an unexpected person by her side.

As seen on TikTok on Tuesday, June 11, Cline was spotted getting close to DJ and record label owner Zack Bia, who she had previously sparked romance rumors with in 2021. E! News reports that the pair attended the Audemars Piguet 150th anniversary celebration together. While the pair has yet to define their relationship publicly, the clip speaks for itself:

In the video, the pair stands close together while mingling with other guests, a glass of champagne in the actress’s hand. Bia rubs Cline’s shoulders sweetly before moving his hand to her lower back. Though the clip is short, their body language suggests they’re very comfortable with one another. And it’s enough to have fans in a frenzy over the potential relationship.

The response has largely been negative on social media, with many referencing Bia’s past relationship with Olivia Rodrigo and the cheating allegations that circulated social media—but have not been confirmed by anyone involved. According to a report from Us Weekly at the time of their split in 2022, their romance “sort of fizzled,” said a source. Others haven’t forgotten about his relationship with Madison Beer, which has been speculated ended badly.

Many have theorized that Rodrigo’s song “Vampire” and Beer’s track “Reckless” were written about Bia. Neither singer has confirmed this, though Beer did make comments about Rodrigo’s song on social media, which fans believed were a dig at Bia.

Cline and Bia started spending time together in 2021 after her split from her Outer Banks costar Chase Stokes, who she dated for over a year. According to Us Weekly, the two celebrities were photographed out together, including at a Los Angeles Lakers Game for Cline’s birthday. At the time, a source shared that they “ha[dn’t] labeled” their relationship, with Bia himself confirming on the BFFs podcast that they were “not dating.” Soon after, both parties were linked with other people.

For Cline’s part, she went on to date singer Jackson Guthy in 2022, followed by actor Pete Davidson in 2023. The actress confirmed she and Davidson had split in 2024, with People Magazine reporting their breakup came last July.

The nature of Cline and Bia’s relationship may not have progressed since they started spending time together in 2021, but their subtle PDA is definitely—and understandably—raising eyebrows.
