Chase Stokes, Kelsea Ballerini rekindle romance two months after messy split

Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini have rekindled their romance two months after calling it quits.

On New Year’s Eve, the 33-year-old actor took to his Instagram handle and shared a series of photos featuring Kelsea.

In one of the shared images, Chase and Kelsea could be seen sharing a sweet smooch outdoors at sunset.

“Something I’ve learned this year: don’t take advantage of the most beautiful things that in 33 years of life are fleeting," he captioned the post.

"Take accountability, learn from mistakes. Lean into love and say it often,” added the Valiant One star.

Meanwhile, Kelsea shared a similar image on her Instagram Stories, confirming that they are back together.

“Messy year for the heart, messy year for the outside coming in, messy year for the way it became an out of our hands portrayal of it,” she wrote over the image. 

“But what i’ll say, and all i really care to share indefinitely with my personal life anymore, is that i really love love. i believe in it, i believe in him, and i believe in breaking patterns. now go kiss your person and stop speculating," added the Miss Me More hitmaker.

In November 2025, Us Weekly reported that Chase and Kelsea had called it quits after a brief reconciliation. The couple first announced their separation in September after two years of dating.
