Kelsea Ballerini hints at emotional turmoil amid Chase Stokes ‘rocky’ split
Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes gave up on their relationship after giving it a second try, and the singer’s recent comments seem to take on a new meaning.
The 32-year-old country star walked the CMA Awards red carpet solo, which raised questions about the status of her and the actor’s relationship, after their reunion was confirmed.
While greeting the Cowboys Cry Too hitmaker, the influencer Campbell Puckett, remarked that Ballerini was “just glowing in a different way.”
The Peter Pan songstress responded that she “needed” the pep talk before she took the pictures, as she had been feeling anxious.
Ballerini’s performance of her song, I Sit in Parks, was also particularly emotional at the awards ceremony and sparked speculations about her well-being.
Later the same day, the estranged couple’s breakup news broke, confirmed by Us Weekly, which implied that the i quit drinking singer and the Outer Banks star had already broken off at the time.
The outlet reported that their relationship had turned “so rocky and toxic,” according to insiders, as “jealousy got in the way,” even though “Chase really did try to make it work and loves her.”
