Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes have ended their nearly three-year relationship, a representative for Ballerini confirms. An inside source close to the former couple says, “They’re two adults who gave it their all and tried to do everything they could to make it work, but ultimately couldn’t. It happens.” This announcement comes only three days after the Outer Banks star shared an Instagram post celebrating the country musician’s birthday on Friday (September 12), featuring a carousel of photos of the seemingly happy couple alongside the affectionate caption: “Although you keep saying you’re not excited for 32, I’d say I’m lookin forward to more of this. happy birthday my love ❤️.” The pair, who first sparked dating rumors in January 2023 and went public in April that year, had openly discussed the challenges of maintaining a long-distance relationship amid their busy careers, while Ballerini’s recent album, Patterns, reflected the complexities of their romance.
