Breaking Down Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes’ Relationship Timeline
Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes quickly became a fan-favorite couple after confirming their relationship status.
The country singer and the Outer Banks star were first linked in January 2023 after they were spotted together at the College Football Playoff National Championship in Los Angeles.
Ballerini confirmed the romance one month later during an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, revealing that she’d slid into Chase’s DMs. “His handle is ‘hichasestokes’ and I just said, ‘Hi Chase Stokes,’” she shared.
In September 2025, Us Weekly confirmed that the couple had split after more than two years of dating. However, the breakup didn’t last long, as multiple sources confirmed to Us two months later that Stokes and Ballerini were back together.
