Rudy Pankow portrays JJ, John B.’s free-spirited closest buddy, in the popular Netflix series Outer Banks (Chase Stokes).
Off-screen, Rudy is a little bit more reserved than his Outer Banks persona, but we can’t help but adore the loving photos and posts he dedicates to his partner, Elaine Siemek.
So how did Elaine and Rudy first meet? When did they start dating? Do they intend to be married any time soon?
The timeline of Rudy and Elaine’s relationship is shown here.
Details On The Relationship Timeline Between ‘Outer Banks’ Star Rudy Pankow And Elaine Siemek!
Sometimes, rather than at the ball, Cinderella meets her Prince Charming at work, as seen in the mirror on the wall. Elaine and Rudy met on the set of the first season of Outer Banks filming at some point.
Elaine, Rudy’s fiancée, puts in a lot of effort behind the scenes as Jonas Pate’s assistant while Rudy is in front of the camera for Outer Banks.

According to a People report, Elaine and Rudy have been linked together publicly since November 2020, when Rudy posted a birthday tribute to Elaine on his Instagram that said, “You give me butterflies everyday … literally. Happy Birthday PBM.”
We can infer the two met at that time because the show’s first season was filmed in the summer of 2019, albeit it’s unclear exactly when they started dating.
Elaine has established herself as quite the professional photographer while Rudy plays the acting role in the relationship (don’t take our word for it; view Elaine’s work on her photography website!).
According to Elaine’s professional photography bio, she is a “film photographer who enjoys taking environmental portraits. I use professional SLR and TLR cameras, point-and-shoots, Polaroids, and Super 8s to capture the beauty in front of me.”
Rudy Defended Elaine Against Online Abuse!
The fact that celebrities frequently keep their relationships private is primarily due to the possibility of possessive fans. In a post on his Instagram in November 2021, Rudy finally addressed the cyberbullying directed at Elaine.
The Outer Banks star thanked his loving fans for their support but added on Instagram in her caption,
“I want to thank my amazing fans/followers who have shown nothing but love and support and are here for just a fun time. Unfortunately I’m here to call out the disrespect and harassment someone who I love dearly is getting on a daily basis. It has gotten to the degree where lies are being spread and accusations are being said that go beyond the normal “hate.” Not only is she not what she is being accused of being, she is the complete opposite and actively is so. Accusing someone you don’t know of being abusive and manipulative is not ok, especially when you don’t know the relationship personally. I’m very happy in the relationship I’m in. I know I might not actively show it on social platforms just how happy we are together, but this is my personal decision to keep most of those moments for myself. To those who are creating such displeasure and opinions about the one I love and my relationship, it’s time to stop. In this era of social engagement and enlightenment I want to express the importance to spread positivity and needing to know when it is unfair to express your own distaste for something or someone, especially when you can do it behind an anonymous identity. I was always told the best version of yourself is your most humbled self… I make this statement as my most humbled self and would be so grateful if we all would move forward in positivity and respect.”
Fortunately, Rudy and Elaine have survived the wave of online abuse and are still going strong now (it appears that they recently visited the island of Mo’orea).
