The Cobra Kai set bred its own stories. Like the Spider-Man films, where co-stars played lovers and sometimes became them. It happened again. Robby Keene and Sam LaRusso found each other off-screen, too. Now, their real names mattered more—Tanner Buchanan and Mary Mouser.
No one saw it coming. But the truth came out at the Netflix finale event on February 12. They walked the red carpet, kissed, and let the world see the rings. Diamonds, clear as day. People whispered. Was it true? They answered with a joint post on Instagram. The deal was sealed.
Tanner Buchanan and Mary Mouser Make It Instagram Official
Jon Hurwitz, the Cobra Kai showrunner, heard the news. He grinned. Called himself a “matchmaker.” He posted “We’re matchmakers first, showrunners second. Our primary goal with Cobra Kai was for Daniel LaRusso’s daughter and Johnny Lawrence’s son to fall in love in real life. Mission accomplished. So happy for them! A perfect couple! #CobraKai #TrueLove.” The show had its own journey. Started on YouTube in 2018. Fought its way to Netflix in 2020. Now, Season 6 was coming. The last round. The final fight.

Tanner Buchanan and Mary Mouser weren’t the first. Love had sparked before on Cobra Kai. Peyton List and Jacob Bertrand made it official in March 2022. She was Tory. He was Eli. They had history—worked together on a Disney movie back in 2016.
Xolo Maridueña and Hannah Keple had their time, too. He played Miguel. She played Moon. Three years together, then it ended. No one knew when. One day, their photos were gone from Instagram. That was the only answer.
Cobra Kai’s Final Season
“Cobra Kai never dies.” But the show was ending. The last fight was set. Five episodes left. February 13. Netflix. 3 a.m. Eastern.
Conclusion
As the last episode of the series of “Cobra Kai” approaches, it appears that the dojo is more of a dating service now. As Buchanan and Mouser start a relationship on set, maybe there is some water in the Miyagi-Do dojo that causes such things. As the fans wait for the final episode of the karate drama, they can be consoled by the fact that love, just like a crane kick, was delivered when it was least expected. As this series comes to an end, one thing is for sure, while Cobra Kai may have bid its last goodbye to Netflix, the on and off-screen battles and romances will never be forgotten. This is the motto of the man who wants to be a real man, a man who wants to be a man.
FAQs
Q1: When did Tanner Buchanan and Mary Mouser announce their engagement?
The two lovebirds shocked their fans when they publicly announced that they are an item and even engaged during the Cobra Kai series finale red carpet event on February 12. They confirmed the news with a kiss and showed what seemed to be engagement rings on their fingers, although they officially announced it on Instagram later. Even the Cobra Kai master himself never saw this coming!
Q2: Are Tanner and Mary’s characters also romantically involved in the show?
It is quite fascinating that their characters, Robby Keene and Sam LaRusso, have had a rocky relationship in the series. This makes them yet another example of Cobra Kai co-stars whose on-screen chemistry apparently had enough of a spark to create quite a powerful explosion in real life. It is a well-known fact that life often copies art or maybe art was predicting it.
Q3: Which other Cobra Kai co-stars have dated in real life?
The dojo must be a matchmaker of some sort! Peyton List and Jacob Bertrand began dating in March 2022 and are currently in a relationship. Also, Xolo Maridueña (Miguel Diaz) and Hannah Keple (Moon) were in a relationship for about three years and they broke up in around 2022. As we can see, it is not only the character that is built through kicking and punching.
Q4: When is the final season of Cobra Kai being released?
The last five episodes of the season (Season 6 Part 3) were supposed to be released on Thursday, February 13 at 03:00 AM Eastern Time / 12:00 AM Pacific Time. As the infamous line from the series goes, ‘Cobra Kai never dies,’ sadly, the streaming run of the series does. Viewers will have to bend the knee to their senseis one last time – but at least love blossomed in between the karate chopping.
