Kelsea Ballerini Still Can't Believe She Is Dating Chase Stokes a Year After Debuting Their Romance

Kelsea Ballerini found love again after going through a heartbreaking divorce.

The 30-year-old "Love Me Like You Mean It" singer reportedly still could not believe she had started dating Chase Stokes following her divorce from Morgan Evans. The pair first sparked dating rumors in January 2023 before debuting their romance at the CMT Awards red carpet in April 2023.

"Kelsea still pinches herself that she and Chase found each other," a source told Life & Style. "They both want the same things in life: a solid marriage with open communication, a couple of kids and a loving home. These two are meant to be together."

The insider continued, "Kelsea and Chase are super compatible and on the same page about their future together."

The "Love Me Like You Mean It" singer previously told Alex Cooper revealed she slid into the Outer Banks alum's DMs on Instagram, and their relationship started from there.

"It's been my favorite chapter of life, and she's such a special human being," Stokes said of their relationship in his previous interview with OK!. "Also integrating our dogs has been such a fun thing because Dibs and Milo could not be more different in the way they operate. Dibs is such an old soul and a sweetheart, and Milo is 3.5 years old and we call him Bullet Boy because he's always on the go. It's been fun to go into this chapter of life and experiencing each other's worlds."

In January 2023, Ballerini and Stokes watched the Georgia vs. TCU game at SoFi Stadium with their pals amid the romance rumors. A few days later, Stokes seemingly confirmed their relationship by posting a photo of them cuddling up.

In the weeks thereafter, Stokes and Ballerini continuously spoke about their relationship, though they waited until April 2023 to make their red carpet debut as a couple.

The "Mountain With a View" singer was previously married to Evans. They were married for five years after dating following their meeting at Australia's Country Music Channel Awards 2016.

Ballerini filed for divorce from Evans in August 2022. Sources said the pair were separated privately and went through therapy for years before calling it quits. The ex-couple reached a settlement agreement in November 3, 2022.
