A Real-Life Love Story Unfolds
Fans of Cobra Kai were treated to an unexpected yet delightful surprise as Tanner Buchanan and Mary Mouser, known for their roles as Robby Keene and Samantha LaRusso, officially announced their engagement. The couple, who portrayed a complicated romance on-screen, confirmed their off-screen love story at the Netflix series finale red carpet event on February 12.
The pair stunned attendees by making their relationship public with a kiss, sparking immediate speculation. However, it was their coordinated social media post that truly sealed the announcement. “We’re so happy to finally share that we’re engaged. This is such a special moment in our lives, the closing of one chapter and celebrating the continuation of another. We’re so grateful for the love and support,” they wrote on Instagram, alongside a heartwarming photo of them embracing.
From On-Screen Chemistry to Off-Screen Romance
Much like the unexpected turns in Cobra Kai, their romance evolved behind the scenes. The duo had built a strong friendship since the show’s debut, leading fans to speculate for years whether their bond extended beyond the set. Though both actors maintained a low profile regarding their personal lives, their undeniable chemistry was evident both on and off-screen.
At the finale event, Buchanan shared with PEOPLE how significant Mouser is in his life. “She’s a hundred percent my confidant,” he expressed. “We truly keep saying that we’re going to be around in each other’s lives forever.”
Their relationship follows the pattern of Cobra Kai fostering real-life romances. Buchanan and Mouser join the ranks of other cast members who have taken their friendships to the next level, proving that the show’s camaraderie extends beyond the screen.
Love Behind the Scenes: Other Cobra Kai Romances
Buchanan and Mouser aren’t the first Cobra Kai co-stars to find love on set. Peyton List, who portrays Tory Nichols, and Jacob Bertrand, known for his role as Eli “Hawk” Moskowitz, confirmed their relationship in 2022. The duo had previously collaborated on The Swap, a Disney Channel original movie, before working together on Cobra Kai.
Additionally, Xolo Maridueña (Miguel Diaz) was once in a relationship with co-star Hannah Keple (Moon). The pair dated for approximately three years before calling it quits in 2022, removing traces of their relationship from social media.
The End of an Era for Cobra Kai
As Cobra Kai nears its conclusion, fans are grappling with the bittersweet reality of saying goodbye to their favorite characters. The martial arts drama, which began as a YouTube original in 2018 before transitioning to Netflix in 2020, has had a wildly successful run, reviving the legacy of The Karate Kid franchise for a new generation.
The sixth and final season of Cobra Kai will be split into three parts, with the last five episodes set for release on February 13 at 3 a.m. ET / 12 a.m. PT on Netflix. While the show’s journey is coming to an end, the bonds formed both on and off-screen are sure to live on.
With wedding bells in the air for Buchanan and Mouser, fans now have something else to celebrate beyond the series’ epic finale. As the couple embarks on this exciting new chapter, their love story serves as a heartwarming reminder that Cobra Kai may be ending, but its spirit will continue in the lives of its stars.
As Cobra Kai reaches its epic conclusion, Buchanan and Mouser’s love story proves that some bonds extend far beyond the screen. Their engagement is a celebration of the connections formed during the show’s run, and fans can only hope for more exciting updates from the couple in the future.
