Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes Dated for Almost 3 Years
A source claimed the exes' 'lives are in very different places.'
The famous pair dated for about three years before separating briefly in September 2025.
"They’re two adults who gave it their all and tried to do everything they could to make it work, but ultimately couldn’t. It happens," a source close to the couple told People at the time.
They reportedly reconnected over the holidays that same year, before calling it quits for good in February 2026, with another insider sharing, "Their lives are in very different places right now. Figuring out where to live and how to truly merge their lives has been hard lately."
'I'm Loving This Chapter of Life'
Kelsea Ballerini is focused on investing in herself right now.
During the April 17, episode of TODAY With Jenna & Sheinelle, Ballerini opened up about her single life in New York City following the split.
Host Sheinelle Jones asked what it feels like for her to "re-know herself" in a new "season" of life.
"I'm loving this chapter of life just because I really feel like I'm being intentional about connecting to myself, and also being off the road right now," she gushed. "And being somewhere new, and making new friends. I just haven't had the time to invest in myself like that in a while."
