Chase Stokes shared that he and Kelsea Ballerini are back together after a complicated on-again, off-again relationship with multiple breakups and makeups.
The 33-year-old actor from Outer Banks posted a New Year’s Eve message on social media showing him sharing a romantic moment with the 32-year-old country pop singer as they watched a beautiful sunset.
Following the news that he and Kelsea Ballerini are rekindling their almost three-year relationship, he shared his New Year’s resolution: to learn from past errors.
He shared that one thing he’s realized this year is to appreciate life’s beautiful moments, because they don’t last forever – especially as he’s learned over 33 years.
Then, he shared some wise words of advice he plans to implement going forward.
He encouraged taking responsibility for your actions and learning from errors. He also emphasized the importance of expressing love frequently.
He also declared that 2026 would be his ‘year of growth’ and ‘year of truth.’
‘Starting here, starting now. Happy new years,’ he concluded alongside a red heart emoji.
One picture captured him embracing her from behind and gently kissing her head, while another showed them close together, almost touching.
He also included a picture of Ballerini kissing her precious pooch on the dog’s head.
His post also featured photos of him with his family and a warm hug with a friend.
The singer of “Love Me Like You Mean It” shared on social media that she had a difficult year before she and her partner reconciled at the end of the year.
She expressed her strong belief in love, her faith in her partner, and her desire to move away from repeating old habits.
She posted a picture showing her and Stokes as silhouettes, seemingly kissing with the sunset behind them.
Over the snapshot, she wrote that she has had a ‘messy year for the heart.’
She described a difficult year where personal struggles became very public and felt beyond her control.
She added that, as far as her personal life goes, she doesn’t want to share much more, but she genuinely believes in the power of love.
Ballerini expressed her support, saying she believes in both the idea and the person it concerns, and she’s all for doing things differently. She then playfully urged everyone to go show their loved ones some affection instead of focusing on rumors.
This news follows closely after the singer’s memorable outfit choice at last month’s Country Music Association Awards, which many saw as a statement of empowerment.
She walked the red carpet alone — without Stokes at her side like the previous year.
They split up just a few months after publicly debuting as a couple, with reports suggesting jealousy played a role in the breakup.
They got back together but then split again in September.
According to a source who spoke to Daily Mail, the couple was seen dating again shortly before announcing their reconciliation on social media, but they weren’t officially boyfriend and girlfriend—at least, not yet.
According to a source, there are currently no labels associated with the project, but discussions about potentially adding them are underway.
This is a delicate situation, and their feelings for each other are especially strong right now, particularly with the holidays happening.
Olivia Rodrigo’s boyfriend, Louis Thornton, and Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, first sparked dating rumors in January 2023 when they were seen together at the College Football Playoff National Championship in Los Angeles. They had initially met towards the end of 2022.
They subtly revealed they were dating on social media, and then officially confirmed their relationship by appearing together on the red carpet at the 2023 Country Music Association Awards.
Kelsea Ballerini first revealed she was divorcing Morgan Evans, an Australian country singer, in August 2022. The divorce was officially completed in November of the same year.
The pair had tied the knot in Mexico back in 2017 when she was 24 and he was 32.
Kelsea Ballerini and Morgan Evans were together for two years before splitting up in September. They briefly got back together, but separated again in November.
According to reports from the Daily Mail at the time, Stokes’s possessiveness contributed to the couple’s first split. Ballerini’s friends apparently believed this was a good opportunity for her to find a more suitable partner.
In late November, Stokes seemed to acknowledge the end of his relationship with Ballerini. He shared a post on Instagram stating he was innocent and indicated that Ballerini had blocked him on social media.
