Kelsea Ballerini And Chase Stokes End Relationship Again
February 14, 2026 7:00 amCountry superstar Kelsea Ballerini and Outer Banks actor Chase Stokes have split again, just five weeks after reconciling on New Year’s Eve, multiple sources have confirmed.
“They still love each other, which is why they’ve kept trying to make it work. But their lives are in very different places right now,” a Stokes source tells People.
The insider adds, “They’ve been trying to figure out a situation where they are both happy together, but that doesn’t seem possible at the moment.”
A second source claims, “Kelsea’s been so supportive of him throughout their relationship, but it hasn’t been reciprocated, especially as her career has continued to grow.”
The couple first began dating in 2023, and officially went public with their romance at the April 2023 CMT Awards.
They split in September 2025, then briefly reunited before this latest breakup.
