by

Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini still have this feeling about one another.

In a subtle yet heartwarming gesture, the star from the show “Outer Banks” hinted at the enduring nature of his relationship with the singer known as “Baggage” by posting a charming picture of her pet on social media.

On August 3rd, Chase shared an Instagram Story where he zoomed in on Kelsea’s dog, Dibs, who was wearing a blue collar and being held by someone’s hands. He included a red heart emoji with the picture. (Age: 32)

In early 2023, I found myself amidst whispers of a potential split between Chase and Kelsea, a couple whose relationship we’d publicly acknowledged earlier. The chatter stirred when the singer removed a Fourth of July photo collection from her social media, which had previously showcased the Uglies actor with his furry companion. However, I choose to remain optimistic, as I’ve learned that social media activity doesn’t always reflect real-life events.

On August 1st, a user posted on TikTok about the rumored split between Kelsea and Chase, saying, “Here’s what we presently understand regarding the supposed Kelsea and Chase breakup.

Since then, they have effectively put an end to the rumors of their separation. Additionally, not long ago, Chase and Kelsea, aged 31, were seen enjoying a meal together in Nashville, which was shared on TikTok by a fan on August 4th.

I’ve been absolutely consumed by their every move, and this year hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing for my favorite duo. There were whispers about a split, but it wasn’t just that; fans like me started speculating when Kelsea skipped some tour dates in February. We thought, with all our hearts hoping, that maybe she was expecting!

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but share my excitement about the intriguing speculations that have been swirling around. Remember when Kelsea addressed those rumors head-on? It was back in February, responding to a curious TikTok comment asking if she might be pregnant. Her reply was as captivating as her performances – “Or maybe it’s just the flu.” Such a witty and enigmatic response from our beloved star!

In a post’s caption, the “Cowboys Cry Too” artist wrote, “Feeling much improved now, excited to join you this evening in Buffalo.

Meanwhile, they’re not planning on growing their family at this moment, but Kelsea has already incorporated Chase into her songwriting endeavors.

She revealed on Today in October that ‘First Rodeo’ was her initial love song for Chase. Essentially, it’s about expressing vulnerability and fear of opening up deeply, yet she has a strong affection for love and him.

Additionally, she disclosed that the song “How Much Do You Love Me?” was motivated by him during an October listening party for her album Patterns. Speaking to fans at the event, she explained, “This track is the most tender on the album. I recall writing it on guitar downstairs and Chase asked, ‘What’s that?’ To which I replied, ‘This is a love song.’
