Canon
Outlaw Queen began in Season 3 where their origins were unveiled.

Season 3 (The Beginning)
When Tinker Bell leads Regina to a tavern, the place where her true love she was destined to be with is, with pixie dust, Regina fears being left and leaves. She only sees that her true love has a lion tattoo on his left hand.

Years later they meet again in the Enchanted Forest. Regina seemed very rude to him in the starting of Season 3, when they first met. During the time they first met in Storybrooke, Robin told he doubts he'd ever forget meeting her and also tried to kiss her but Regina declined it. The next day, she was found by Robin in the forest reading a letter. He pick-pocketed the letter from her and read it, stressing the line which said that she was stunning in every way (which shows that he liked her).

Without Regina knowing Robin was her true soulmate, they instantly have a connection. She gives her heart to him and tells him that he can't steal something that has been given to him after he asks her why he gave such a valuable thing to a thief like him. But the heart threatened his son's life as Zelena (the villain of the season then) wanted Regina's heart so she could manipulate her, and he gave it. Then, Regina realizes that he is her true love and comes to Robin to tell him so, and he felt very sorry for giving her heart to her then-wicked sister, but Regina doesn't mind it and kisses him passionately. She proved to him that she could love without a heart. Eventually, they fall in love and everything seems fine until Emma Swan and Captain Hook (Killian Jones) come back from their travel in time with Marian, who turns out to be Robin's dead wife, that separates Regina and Robin because she feels guilty because she killed Marian in the original timeline.

Season 4
Robin visits Regina after Marian came back, and he tells her that his feelings for her are real. But Regina is afraid, and so Robin goes back home. After an icy spell is cast on Marian and she turns to ice, Regina suggests he give her a true love's kiss. Robin follows Regina and he kisses a sleeping Marian, but the spell did not break. Robin then tells her the kiss could not have worked because he was in love with someone else i.e Regina. She smiles, but she fears this relationship won't work out too and she resumes her task on trying to break the spell cast on her lover's wife.

As she resumes the task, Robin comes to her and admits he wanted to be with her, but Regina declines this and tells him he needed to forget about her so he could stay with his wife. That night, Robin again comes to her vault and kisses her passionately, and Regina and him have a one night stand. After waking up, she shows him the storybook which recorded the history of every fairytale character and she wanted to know who the Author was so he could give Regina her happy ending. She also insists they can't be intimate again, but Robin laughs and says that if they stay in the vault, it'll still count as the first time, and they share another intimate moment. Robin goes to the library to find a clue which points to the Author of the storybook and finds a torn page, which had a picture of him and Regina kissing in the tavern where they were supposed to meet. He calls Regina and shows her that her fate could have gone many ways and that she was not bound to be a villain. Then, Regina figures along with her friends that Marian was cursed and needed to leave Storybrooke in order to live. Robin and Regina then get separated for real this time.

After some days, Regina and Emma realize that Marian was actually Zelena, and they go to Robin's home and tell him, but he is shocked and tells them that she is pregnant with their child. Because Robin has moved on from Regina they are stuck and Robin does not know how he feels. The two end up falling in love over again and they are happy.

Season 5
After landing in Camelot, King Arthur has organised a ball in honor of the heroes. She and Robin have a dance, and kiss. But then a soldier, Percival, asks for a dance with Regina. He secretly planned to stab her with a sword, but Robin came to her help and he got hurt by the sword.

When they were in the underworld Robin’s soul gets destroyed in the hands of Hades when he saves Regina from getting the same fate. In the final episode of Once Upon a Time, Regina sees Robin again in a dream. In the dream, she tells Robin their story was so short and it isn't fair, but he corrects her and tells that the length of their story won't make the story any less epic. and they both share a passionate kiss again.

Trivia
In Season 3 Episode 12, Regina comments on Robin that he "smells like forest" and Snow White also commented on Robin and Regina by asking her how she thinks he looked at her.
