Determined Chase Stokes Working to Win Back Kelsea Ballerini — Source

Even though Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes have officially ended their relationship, the aftermath continues to play out behind closed doors. According to sources close to the situation, Ballerinis inner circle hopes she remains firm in her decision, while Stokes is reportedly grappling with the breakup and exploring ways to reconnect with her.

Stokes Struggling With Post-Breakup Emotions

The on-again, off-again relationship between Ballerini and the Outer Banks actor concluded definitively in September, ending months of public speculation. Fans witnessed a highly visible romance, but insiders say the reality behind the scenes was far more complex than what appeared online.

Ballerini, 32, started dating Stokes soon after her divorce from country singer Morgan Evans. She initially described him as thoughtful and emotionally supportive. Their relationship often made headlines, from red carpet appearances to affectionate social media moments and surprise visits amidst busy schedules.

Behind the Scenes Tensions

However, sources reported to the Daily Mail indicate that their private dynamic may have been tumultuous. Jealousy on Stokes part was cited as a factor in their first split earlier this year. Meanwhile, Ballerinis friends reportedly felt that Stokes was not the best long-term partner for her.

Despite parting ways in September, Stokes hinted at the possibility of reconciliation. In November, he shared an Instagram post claiming Ballerini had "blocked" him, asserting that he had "done nothing wrong," which fueled speculation that he was struggling more than publicly acknowledged.

Holiday Season Hopes

Insiders now suggest that Stokes is hoping the holidays might provide an opportunity to reconnect. He is taking the breakup very hard, one source shared, adding that he could be attempting to rekindle the romance while Ballerini maintains her distance.

Although some speculate that a reunion might be possible, Ballerinis friends are reportedly encouraging her to continue moving forward. They feel that she is way better off with him not around, the insider said, noting that Ballerini seemed to grow and change when the relationship was strained.
