by

Chase Stokes, star of Outer Banks, has gotten people talking about his relationship with singer Kelsea Ballerini. He shared some mysterious messages on Instagram Stories, sparking rumors after reports of their breakup last September. This comes just weeks after they were spotted holding hands in Croatia, leaving fans wondering if a reunion is still possible.

On November 20th, Chase publicly responded to rumors about his relationship. He posted that he was blocked by the other person and insisted he hadn’t done anything wrong. He followed that with a message saying “Sorry. I tried,” accompanied by a red heart. He then apologized to fans who had supported them, stating, “It is what it is. Onwards and upwards.” Currently, neither Chase nor Kelsea, 32, follows each other on Instagram, fueling further speculation about their breakup.

Here’s what fans need to know about their recent split

Chase’s recent social media activity follows reports that he and Kelsea Ballerini ended their almost three-year relationship in September. Sources said they both tried hard to make things work, but ultimately weren’t able to. Despite the breakup, rumors of a reconciliation started when Kelsea visited Chase on the set of the final season of Outer Banks in Croatia on November 7th. They were photographed holding hands at a restaurant and walking together in Old Town.

Rumors really took off when a video of them dancing together in Dubrovnik became popular online. But recent posts on Chase’s Instagram seem to indicate that their relationship, whether it was romantic or not, is now over.

A look back at their relationship

Oh my gosh, I was SO excited when I first heard Chase and Kelsea were a thing! It all started back in January 2023, and then Chase hinted at it in February, saying they were just ‘spending time together.’ But then Kelsea confirmed it, and it was the best! She actually told everyone she made the first move – she DMed him! Can you believe it? She admitted she’d never even watched his show, but she just went for it! She literally ‘swan dove right in,’ and honestly, good for her! It’s the most adorable thing ever, and I’ve been shipping them ever since!

Kelsea described meeting her now-partner two years ago, recalling the experience on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. She remembered it happening very early in the morning and was struck by how kind, attentive, and thoughtful he was to someone else. She said it was a truly beautiful moment to witness.

Throughout their relationship, Chase often spoke very positively about Kelsea. In an April 2024 interview with PEOPLE, he described her as incredibly genuine and admired her kindness towards others, saying that she fully invests herself in relationships. Even shortly before their split, he posted a birthday message calling her his “love” and expressed excitement about their future together, despite her reservations about turning 32.
