Kelsea Ballerini Announced At CMT Music Awards Her New Relationship With Actor Chase Stokes
On April 2, Kelsea Ballerini will host the CMT Music Awards for the third time in a row. In February 2023, around the same time that she announced her new relationship with actor Chase Stokes, Kelsea released an EP detailing her separation from Morgan Evans. Since making their relationship known, Kelsea and Chase have become regulars on each other’s social media pages and haven’t been shy about showing off their developing romance.
When it comes to her private life, Kelsea typically lets her music speak for her, but during this chapter, she’s been very candid about how difficult getting divorced from Morgan was. When Kelsea filed for divorce in the summer of 2022, the two had been wed for almost five years.
When Kelsea and Chase were pictured in a group photo together at the National Championship football game in January 2023, rumors about a relationship between them started to circulate. Days later, to fuel the romance rumors, Chase posted a picture of Kelsea cuddling up to him in their seats at the game on Instagram. The two kept feeding the rumors over the following few weeks. They were first spotted at a bar in Nashville, where they appeared to be quite cozy, and later at the airport, where they were seen putting on their PDAs.
