Inside Sofia & Rafe’s ‘Outer Banks’ Romance With Season 4 Breakout Star Fiona Palomo

Will Sofia be the woman to save Rafe Cameron (Drew Starkey)? Their romance started back in Outer Banks Season 3 but has gotten more serious in Season 4 Part 1. As Rafe seeks to prove himself career-wise and keep up King Kook appearances, Sofia has been by his side. Rafe shows his softest side when he’s around Sofia. Could this be the real Rafe? Swooon spoke with Season 4 breakout star Fiona Palomo about why Sofia’s drawn to Kildare Island’s biggest bad boy.

“As she mentions in Season 3, she’s had her eyes on him for some time now,” Palomo explained. “I think she sees him around the other Kooks and this world around him. I think it begins from a point of curiosity. I think she sees through the face he puts on around people, and I think she’s just curious as to who this person is and how it is that he’s perhaps good deep down and putting on such a contrasting front. I think it becomes a bit of a mirror once they’re both kind of seeking a little bit of their own way in the world. I think she feels at home with him.”
