Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini Confirm Reunion with Adorable PDA Pics
Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini are officially back together. The reunion comes just months after their split in September, ending nearly three years of dating.
Rumors of a reconciliation started when the couple was spotted holding hands in Croatia, though Stokes later suggested that Ballerini had blocked him on social media at one point.
The pair made their return Instagram official by sharing new PDA photos. Stokes posted silhouette shots of himself and Ballerini cuddling in front of a sunset.
Alongside the images, he wrote, “Something I’ve learned this year: don’t take advantage of the most beautiful things that in 33 years of life are fleeting. Take accountability, learn from mistakes. Lean into love and say it often. 2026 my year of growth, my year of truth. Starting here, starting now. Happy new years ❤️”
This isn’t Stokes’ first high-profile relationship. In June 2020, he confirmed he was dating his Outer Banks co-star Madelyn Cline, but the couple split in October 2021. Ballerini, 32, was previously married to Australian country singer Morgan Evans. They got engaged in 2016 and married in December 2017 before finalizing their divorce in November 2022. She began dating Stokes in January 2023.
The new posts suggest both Stokes and Ballerini are committed to giving their relationship another chance. Their PDA-filled photos show a closeness that fans have been hoping to see since rumors of their split first emerged.
It’s always exciting when couples reconcile, especially after public breakups. Stokes’ message and their photos show that both he and Ballerini are ready to move forward together. Do you think this reunion will last? Share your thoughts in the comments.
