The “Karate Kid” franchise has a Midas touch, turning every actor and actress it involves into gold, and the young stars of “Cobra Kai” are no exception. This is especially true for Mary Mouser, who has gained a wide fanbase for portraying Samantha LaRusso in the Netflix show.
Her character, the daughter of champion Daniel LaRusso, becomes the second student in the newly opened Miyagi-Do Karate, quickly becoming one of the best. However, a traumatic event triggers post-traumatic stress in her, causing her to question her future in martial arts. Despite this, she fights fiercely to regain her confidence, making her endearing to viewers.
As with any star, fans have been eager to learn more about her since she first appeared on the show in 2018, and her love life has garnered much attention. Here’s a look at her relationship status in 2024.
Is Mary Mouser dating anyone in 2024?
Despite recent rumors linking Mary Mouser to her “Cobra Kai” co-star Tanner Buchanan, the truth is that the actress has been in a long-term relationship with actor Brett Pierce since 2016. However, there has been buzz about a possible breakup.
This speculation has arisen not only due to Mouser’s close relationship with Buchanan but also because she hasn’t posted anything with Pierce for a while. In the past, she used to post many pictures with him, sometimes even in the same week. So far, the last one was from Christmas 2019.
Naturally, this leads some to think they might have split. However, Pierce stopped using Instagram in November 2023, and Mouser has been using it mainly for her work activities with “Cobra Kai,” hardly posting about her personal life. In fact, she resumed posting in 2024 with the release of Season 6, but she didn’t post anything in 2023.
All this to say, we shouldn’t rely solely on their Instagram activity to determine if they’re still together. But, if we did, it must be noted that Mary Mouser and Brett Pierce still follow each other and their families, indicating they are likely still together.
Plus, Mary Mouser and Brett Pierce’s relationship isn’t just casual dating. They’ve shared their lives for almost a decade, moved in together, supported each other in their acting endeavors, and Pierce has stood by Mouser through her fight against type 1 diabetes with absolute persistence. Given how important he is in her life, Mouser would likely have announced a breakup, which hasn’t happened. Therefore, it’s reasonable to believe they are still together in 2024.
