The love between Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes is palpable. On Saturday, new photographs were shot at LAX showing Ballerini and Stokes sharing a warm embrace before boarding a flight.
Ballerini hugged and kissed Stokes on the neck before the two of them boarded the plane to leave Los Angeles. The 29-year-old musician was dressed in camouflage trousers, a white long-sleeved shirt, and a beanie. The 30-year-old star of Outer Banks movies and television sported a sand-colored camouflage jacket, black tee, yellow trousers, and black hat.
Ballerini and Stokes can be seen laughing and hugging together in one photo and going hand in hand through the airport in another.
A source told ET just days before the PDA-filled encounter that Ballerini is enjoying her new chapter following her divorce from fellow country artist Morgan Evans.
“She imagines she has a fresh and thrilling crush thanks to Chase. Her friends and family have been taken aback by her new connection, but they are overjoyed for her since she has been beaming with happiness ever since they found out “- Said the insider. “Kelsea and Chase enjoy one other’s company very much.”
Earlier this month, during an Instagram AMA, Ballerini addressed the rumors surrounding her reported relationship. She stated categorically that she would not be providing any explanations. The singer expressed it best when a fan inquired whether she wanted to set the record straight about rumors: “No.”
In another, she commented, “No, really, LOL.” “It’s unprecedented for so many people to be concerned about my social life. At first, I felt suffocated by all the talk and worry about it, but now I’m just choosing to be in this new time of my life, explore my feelings, and do what makes me happy without having to please, inform, or correct anyone other than my close little world, which is subject to change, but I’m happy.”
Ballerini, according to the insider, has finally found happiness again after suffering through a difficult period following her divorce.
A source stated, “Kelsea felt renewed, carefree, and like she was back to herself again” following the divorce.
The “Subject to Change” vocalist has demonstrated her easygoing attitude toward life. Ballerini appeared on Stokes’ Instagram at the start of the current month. Ballerini can be seen dozing off with her head on his shoulder in one of the images from their trip to the College Football National Championship together in Inglewood, California.
After being married for five years, Ballerini dissolved her marriage to Evans three months ago. On the other side, Stokes and Madelyn Cline, his Outer Banks co-star, have been linked romantically. The couple’s sporadic relationship started in the year 2020.
Ballerini and Stokes have reportedly been dating, although neither has addressed the rumors.
