So, for fans who were curious to know about Rudy Pankow‘s (@rudeth) relationship status (Is he married? Is he single? Or is he in a relationship? Does he have a gf? If he does, who is his girlfriend?), then let me tell you that he is in a relationship and has a gf called Elaine Siemek (@elameeeee). And you know how he met her? They met on the sets of Outer Banks. The series not only gave him a breakout role and all the popularity but also a girlfriend.
Rudy Pankow’s gf Elaine Siemek works as an assistant on the sets of Outer Banks. She also happens to be a professional film photographer. On her website, she describes herself as “a film photographer who enjoys taking environmental portraits” and also mentions that she uses “professional SLR and TLR cameras, points-and-shoots, Polaroids, and Super 8s to capture the beauty in front of me.”
Though the couple has largely kept their relationship private, they give fans occasional glimpses into their romance on Instagram. The gf, being the photographer, sometimes shares photos of the Outer Banks cast as well. Playing the role of a loyal sidekick must be too much fun for Rudy Pankow as working behind the scenes as an assistant to showrunner Jonas Pate is to his girlfriend Elaine Siemek.
They likely first met in 2019 during the shooting of the first season of Outer Banks. However, it’s unclear when they started dating. After the filming was completed, the gf Elaine Siemek shared some photos of her with the cast with the caption, “I have such an insane amount of love for the cast and crew of Outer Banks. A family for life.” No indication that she felt a bit differently and more strongly about Rudy Pankow. It was not until the next year that they confirmed that they were dating.
Rudy Pankow and his gf Elaine Siemek have been publicly linked since November 2020 because that was when the couple first confirmed their relationship. The Outer Banks star shared photos of his girlfriend on Instagram for her birthday and captioned his post, “You give me butterflies everyday … literally. Happy Birthday PBM❤️.” Yeah, that pretty much confirmed that they are together.
Outer Banks isn’t the only show the pair has worked together. Gf Elaine Siemek also starred in the short film Virgo, written and directed by Alyssa Toledo, with Rudy Pankow. The five-minute short movie features the duo around the 2:30 mark. This collaborative experience may not be known to many but that might have been great as well.
However, not many liked that they collaborated and that they were together. Rudy Pankow had some crazy stans who hated that he was in a relationship. They hated his gf Elaine and often spread malicious lies about her to harass her because she was dating someone they deluded themselves into thinking was someone they should be dating. They spread lies that the actor’s girlfriend sold exclusive photos of him to fan accounts.
They also spread rumors that Elaine cheated on Rudy Pankow. The hate and lies and rumors got to the point that they couldn’t avoid those and had to address the hate. In November 2021, the actor called out the people who had been targeting his gf and harassing her, and accusing her of being a cheater. He wrote in a post that,
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.
