Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes ‘weren’t aligning’ in their relationship, claims source
Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes were reportedly not “aligning” in their relationship before their breakup earlier this month. The former couple made their romance public in 2023. Stokes was the first person Ballerini got romantically involved with following her divorce from Morgan Evans in 2022. While it has been a few years since the marriage ended, the 32-year-old is still in the process of moving on, according to a recent report.
Us Weekly exclusively learned from a source that Ballerini is “still coming out of a divorce and figuring out what she really wants.” They continued that the singer-songwriter is “not in a place where she’s going to just settle.” Stokes reportedly “understood” this. However, according to the source, the former lovebirds “realized” in the end that they “weren’t aligning the way they hoped.”
Ballerini and Stokes reportedly parted ways soon after the actor posted a birthday tribute on Instagram for his now ex-girlfriend. The Us Weekly insider also claimed that the country musician “initiated the conversation” for their split. Later, they both “had the same understanding that they needed space.” The decision came after Ballerini and Stokes had been “arguing a lot,” according to the source.
They claimed that communication between the now-exes “wasn’t great in the last month.” Moreover, the source revealed that Ballerini and Stokes even tried to “make it work” before calling it quits. However, they reportedly ended up going through a “hard split.” The insider further noted that there is “still a lot of love” between the former couple.
