Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes aren't ready to call it quits just yet! The couple has rekindled their romance, three months after confirming their breakup. The pair, who had been together for nearly three years, announced their reconciliation on New Year's Eve through heartfelt posts on social media.

Ballerini shared her thoughts on Instagram Stories, expressing her belief in love and her desire to break patterns. "I really love love. I believe in it, I believe in him," she wrote, urging fans to "go kiss your person and stop speculating." Ballerini's post included a photo of her and Stokes embracing at sunset.

Meanwhile, Stokes, known for his role in Outer Banks, echoed similar sentiments on his Instagram account. Reflecting on the past year, he emphasized the importance of taking accountability and cherishing fleeting moments. Alongside intimate photos of the couple of himself and Kelsea, he shared, "Something I’ve learned this year: don’t take advantage of the most beautiful things that in 33 years of life are fleeting. Take accountability, learn from mistakes. Lean into love and say it often. 2026 my year of growth, my year of truth. Starting here, starting now. Happy new years."

The pair initially sparked reconciliation rumors in November when they were seen dancing together in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Despite their breakup in September 2025, both have expressed their commitment to learning from past mistakes and moving forward together.

As they step into the new year, Ballerini and Stokes seem determined to focus on their relationship and personal growth. Fans can expect them to keep their personal lives more private, as Ballerini has expressed a desire to maintain her peace by sharing only what comes directly from her.
