Kelsea Ballerini Opens Up About “Redeeming” Relationship
One year ago exactly, Kelsea Ballerini stepped out in a sexy dress and cowboy boots for an epic first date with Chase Stokes.
It led to multiple more outings, inspired the country star's music and now, she and the Outer Banks actor are celebrating their first anniversary as a couple.
"A whole trip around the sun with my bestie," Kelsea wrote on Instagram Jan. 7. "@hichasestokes thanks for making me write love songs."
Chase, 31, commented on his girlfriend's post, "I really really [red heart] you."
Kelsea, 30, posted several photos and videos of herself sharing sweet moments with the actor, including a clip of themselves in a car on the night they met. Chase also shared his own tribute to the singer on their anniversary.
"One year of lovin you," he wrote on Instagram. "P.s. told ya I wouldn't embarrass you."
As Kelsea and Chase quietly began dating in January 2023—two months after she finalized a divorce from Morgan Evans, the pair sparked romance rumors that month when they were photographed looking cozy at a football game. Chase confirmed their relationship a month later in a Today interview.

They have since appeared together several times at celebrity events and Kelsea has also shared glimpses of their road to romance. In August, she posted a TikTok containing a throwback video of herself preparing for the pair's first date, set to her song "How Do I Do This," which is about going on a first date after many years.
The following month, as part of a birthday tribute to Chase, the singer shared a screenshot of their first DMs, from December 2022. She has also spoken about their first kiss and sex life.
In December, Chase spoke about his relationship with Kelsea and what he loves about her. "The same person that I sit down in the living room with and have dinner on the floor with and who makes me laugh," he told Entertainment Weekly in a Dec. 14 article, "is the exact same person you're seeing on stage. There is no filter."
