Country star Kelsea Ballerini shares sweet snap with Outer Banks boyfriend amid divorce

Country star Kelsea Ballerini is looking happier than ever as she enjoys the springtime with her Outer Banks boyfriend Chase Stokes.

The couple, who hit it off in January, have been enjoying spending time together while Kelsea tours America with Kenny Chesney on his Go Back Tour.

Taking to her Instagram stories, the Blindsided singer, 29, shared a collection of photos from recent weeks, with snaps showing her enjoying herself in the sunshine with her dog, Dibs, and dancing to country tracks with pals.

Kelsea – who was married to fellow country star Morgan Evans, 38, for almost five years before she filed for divorce from him in August 2022 – slipped a cute photo of her with beau Chase into the carousel of snaps posted on Saturday (April 22).

Hugging a tree together, which had a sign on it that read "Backyard of Love", Kelsea and Chase looked full of joy as they grinned and beamed with happiness.

Fans were quick to gush over the couple, with one writing: "You guys are adorable."

"Awe! You and Chase," wrote a second, while a third swooned: "Y'all are cute."

Other fans commented on how Kelsea appears to be "thriving", with one person writing: "Love seeing you thriving bb [sic]."

"Happiness looks good on you," penned a second, while a third added: "I love this for you. You're living your best life right now."

Another snap she shared appeared to show Chase gazing into a telescope, while the next showed Kelsea sunbathing on a beach in a yellow bikini while seemingly donning her beau's baseball cap.

While eagle-eyed fans spotted that Kelsea and Chase both donned matching blue bracelets when they appeared to be enjoying snacks on a road trip.

In January 2023, the country singer and Outer Banks star, 30, sparked romance rumours after the Netflix heartthrob shared a snap of the pair cuddled up together at a basketball game.

Chase, who is known best for his portrayal of John B in the hit series, was seen cosying up to Kelsea at the Georgia vs. TCU game at SoFi Stadium in California.

A series of soft launches were then posted across each of the stars' accounts from January until April, with a hand tipped into one snap and blurry selfie in the dark randomly posted.

But things took an official turn though when Kelsea appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast, with the blonde bombshell confirming that she was no longer single.

And on April 2, the couple seemingly "hard launched" - as per Kelsea's Instagram story the following day - when they walked their first red carpet as a couple at the CMT Awards.
