40-year-old singer Laci Kaye Booth, a former contestant on American Idol, who teamed up with another artist for their single “Daddy’s Mugshot,” and more recently showcased her latest track at the exclusive Live In The Vineyard Goes Country festival in Napa Valley, California. During this event, they announced their newfound relationship.

Laci mentioned to the audience, “By the way, that’s my boyfriend, the talented guitarist, sitting next to me here,” as captured in a video posted by Country Now’s Instagram on April 23. “And I’m deeply in love with him.

Moreover, country singer Callista Clark expressed her joy by commenting, “Got it just right!” or simply, “Nailed it!

TopMob News has reached out to Laci and Morgan’s reps for comment and has not heard back.

Last year, speculations about a budding romance between Laci, a contestant from American Idol’s seventeenth season in 2019, and Morgan have been circulating. They have been spotted on numerous occasions together, fueling these rumors.

Over the past few months, though they haven’t posted pictures of their joint outings, they have each given peeks into their visits to Australia, Texas, Iceland, and Richard Branson’s Necker Island in the Caribbean’s British Virgin Islands through individual posts.

After divorcing Morgan in 2022 following five years of marriage, some of Kelsea’s fans have been vocalizing disapproval towards her ex at her concerts by shouting “Insulting words about Morgan” during pauses in her song “Penthouse,” which appears to be centered around their past relationship and divorce. Nevertheless, Kelsea quickly addressed the inappropriate language used.

At her February performance, she requested everyone to refrain from using that phrase. “To be honest,” she continued, “it’s been three years since then and things have settled down. Now, let me perform this song for you. It no longer pertains to me; it belongs to all of us now.

In that very same month, it appeared as if Morgan responded to those comments with a joke in a TikTok video. He said, “From now on, this is how I’ll be replying.

Meanwhile, since the breakup, Kelsea has found love with Outer Banks actor Chase Stokes.

And more than two years into their romance, the singer isn’t ruling out tying the knot again. 

The 31-year-old shared with TopMob News during an interview last October that they are open to anything, having learned to reconsider even the things they initially turned down.

Still, Kelsea is keeping her focus “on the right now.”

“I’m happy,” she said, “and everything is as it should.”

Ever since my divorce from Morgan, I’ve moved forward in life. Currently, I’ve been in a relationship with Chase Stokes, an actor known for his role in ‘The Outer Banks’, for over two years. I haven’t closed the door on the possibility of remarrying.

In an exclusive interview with TopMob News last October, the 31-year-old shared, “I’m not someone who rules out anything entirely.” In other words, things that I’ve firmly declined in the past, I’ve found myself reconsidering and taking on.

Kelsea added that she is keeping her focus “on the right now.”

“I’m happy,” she said, “and everything is as it should.”

Look back at Kelsea and Chase’s romance…

Meanwhile, since the breakup, Kelsea has found love with Outer Banks actor Chase Stokes.

And more than two years into their romance, the singer isn’t ruling out tying the knot again. 

In an interview with TopMob News last October, the 31-year-old expressed that they are open to anything, stating, “I’ve never ruled out anything completely. Things I once thought impossible, I’ve found ways to reconsider and take on.

Still, Kelsea is keeping her focus “on the right now.”

On the whimsical night of December 1, 2022, as I found myself in the company of dear friends and the warmth of a lively bar, my fingers danced across the screen of my phone, sending a message to none other than Chase Stokes – a man whose talent and charm have long captivated me. The hour was late, the air filled with laughter and camaraderie, yet in that moment, I was all but consumed by the thrill of reaching out to him.

On January 7, 2023, they finally had their initial face-to-face encounter, an event she now marks as their special day.

Reflecting back on an unforgettable moment in November 2023, as I shared on the Call Her Daddy podcast, I stepped out of my vehicle – a Bronco – and was met with an unexpected gesture. The individual made no effort to engage me in conversation, instead he approached, cupped my face gently, planted a kiss on me, then pulled back and uttered, “Thank God you’re real.

Their romance blossomed after that first DM, which Kelsea shared in September 2023.

The two were photographed looking cozy at a football game.

In August 2023, Kelsea uploaded a video to TikTok that showed the start of her relationship with someone special. The video was a flashback to their very first official date on January 7, 2023.

Greetings! As I share this video with you all today, it brings back memories of an exciting weekend. This video was actually sent to my dearest friend before my very first date with Chase. It was a moment filled with anticipation and butterflies, setting the stage for a new experience.

In her music video for “How Do I Do This,” a tune that explores the experience of going on a first date after a long time, Kelsea Ballerini carefully selected her wardrobe to match the song’s theme.

“Here’s the look, with the boots” Kelsea said while checking herself out in a full-length mirror.

As she spun around to display her stylish half-up, half-down do, she commented, “We’re using a hair clip to project that laid-back, trendy vibe.

She carried on talking to someone undisclosed, detailing that he would be picking her up, they were heading to a sushi restaurant, and she would phone the person tomorrow for a complete rundown.

With a deep inhale, she lifted her hand high above, declaring confidently, “I’ve got this! I’ve got this!

Following a short impromptu jig, she declared, “It’s merely a date. You simply show up, enjoy some food, and chat about various topics, alright?

Chase shared a pic of himself and Kelsea showing some PDA.

In the month of November 2023, Kelsea shared insights about their intimate relationship with Alex Cooper on the podcast, ‘Call Her Daddy’, expressing, “I’m enjoying myself.

I found it quite theatrical, tailored more towards others, but I aim for it to be different now. (First-person perspective)

Before dating him, the musician hadn’t grasped the idea that intimacy could serve as a powerful bond in a romantic connection, until then.

The Grammy-nominated individual expressed that they once believed it was simply an action done due to the company, but now they understand it serves as a bonding tool among people.

“One year of lovin you,” the actor wrote. “P.s. told ya I wouldn’t embarrass you.”

Kelsea wrote in her anniversary post, ‘A full year’s journey around the sun with my best friend.'”

In informal and conversational language, it could be: “Kelsea posted on our anniversary saying, ‘It’s been a whole lap around the sun with you!'” and “@hichasestokes thanks for inspiring me to write love songs.
