Nothing lasts forever — even Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes. Once a fan-favorite couple, whose red carpet moments were a highlight for the public, the country music singer and the Outer Banks star apparently broke up once and for all by the end of 2025, just weeks after they sparked reconciliation rumors. So, what happened between Chase and Kelsea, and why did they break up?
In November 2025, Chase seemingly addressed his and Kelsea’s split via two Instagram Stories posts. Without naming his former girlfriend, the actor wrote, “Don’t believe the media. I did nothing wrong. Sorry. I tried.” He followed up in a separate Story by writing, “I’m sorry for those who believed in us. It is what it is. Onwards and upwards.”
Below, News47.us has compiled all the details we know so far about Kelsea and Chase’s breakup.
Chase and Kelsea went public with their relationship in early 2023. They split sometime in mid-2025, according to multiple outlets. However, they were spotted spending time together shortly thereafter.
Nevertheless, Chase seemingly confirmed that he and Kelsea had split in November 2025 by sharing cryptic Instagram Stories messages about being “blocked” by someone. So, Chase and Kelsea were together for three years.
Chase and Kelsea broke up by the end of 2025. They had sparked split speculation that fall, and a rep for the pair confirmed the news. However, the country music singer and the actor were seen at a restaurant in Croatia in early November.
Weeks later, Chase seemingly broke his silence on the matter when he wrote on his Instagram Stories, “I’m sorry for those who believed in us. It is what it is. Onwards and upwards.” He did not mention Kelsea by name, though, in his post.
