The concept of dark energy can be used as a possible option to prevent the gravitational collapse of compact objects into singularities. It affects the universe on the largest scale, as it is responsible for our universe’s accelerated expansion. As a consequence, it seems possible that dark energy will interact with any compact astrophysical stellar object [Phys. Rev. D 103, 084042 (2021)]. In this work, our prime focus is to develop a simplified model of a charged strange star coupled to anisotropic dark energy in Tolman–Kuchowicz spacetime (Tolman in Phys Rev 55:364, 1939; Kuchowicz in Acta Phys Pol 33:541, 1968) within the context of general relativity. To develop our model, here we consider a particular strange star object, Her X-1 with observed values of mass 
and radius 
km. respectively. In this context, we initially started with the equation of state (EoS) to model the dark energy, in which the dark energy density is proportional to the isotropic perfect fluid matter-energy density. The unknown constants present in the metric have been calculated by using the Darmois–Israel condition. We perform an in-depth analysis of the stability and force equilibrium of our proposed stellar configuration as well as multiple physical attributes of the model such as metric function, pressure, density, mass–radius relation, and dark energy parameters by varying dark energy coupling parameter 
. Thus after a thorough theoretical analysis, we found that our proposed model is free from any singularity and also satisfies all stability criteria to be a stable and physically realistic stellar model.
