Chase Stokes revealed he rekindled his romance with Kelsea Ballerini following two messy splits and, ultimately, reconciliations.
In his New Year’s Eve social media post, the Outer Banks actor, 33, shared a series of photos of him enjoying a romantic moment with the country pop star, 32, in front of a stunning sunset.
After revealing his and Ballerini’s on-and-off romance of nearly three years is back on, he revealed his vow to ‘learn from mistakes’ in his new year’s resolution.
He wrote in his caption that ‘something I’ve learned this year’ is ‘don’t take advantage of the most beautiful things that in 33 years of life are fleeting.’
Then, he shared some wise words of advice he plans to implement going forward.
‘Take accountability, learn from mistakes. Lean into love and say it often,’ he wrote in his caption.

Over the snapshot, she wrote that she has had a ‘messy year for the heart.’
She also shared that she had a ‘messy year for the outside coming in, messy year for the way it became an out-of-our-hands portrayal of it.’
She continued: ‘But what I’ll say, and all I really care to share indefinitely with my personal life anymore, is that I really love love.
‘I believe in it, I believe in him, and I believe in breaking patterns,’ Ballerini added alongside a kissy face emoji. ‘Now go kiss your person and stop speculating.’
This comes just weeks after the country crooner had her ‘revenge dress’ moment at the Country Music Association Awards last month.
She walked the red carpet alone — without Stokes at her side like the previous year.
Just months after they made their red carpet appearance as a couple together back then, they broke up amid reports of jealousy.
They got back together but then split again in September.
Just before the pair confirmed they reconciled via social media, a source told Daily Mail that they are dating again but without the boyfriend-girlfriend label — at least not yet.

Shortly thereafter, they ‘soft launched’ their early relationship on social media and went public with their romance as they walked the red carpet together at the 2023 CMAs; pictured in November that year
‘There are zero labels right now, but it looks like they might be trying again and giving it another go,’ the insider said.
‘It is a very touchy situation, but they both want to be with each other, which has been heightened around the holidays.’

Back in August 2022, Ballerini had previously announced that she had filed for divorce from her then-husband, Australian country singer Morgan Evans. Their divorce was finalized in November 2022.
Since then, Ballerini has been in a relationship with Stokes. After two years together, they broke up in September, reconciling shortly thereafter, before calling it quits again just last month in November; pictured in February
The pair had tied the knot in Mexico back in 2017 when she was 24 and he was 32.
Since then, Ballerini has been in a relationship with Stokes. After two years together, they broke up in September, reconciling shortly thereafter, before calling it quits again just last month in November.
Sources, at the time, told the Daily Mail that Stokes’ jealousy had fueled the initial break up — which was reportedly welcomed by Ballerini’s friends, who saw it as her chance to finally ‘find someone who is right for her.’
Stokes appeared to accept that the relationship was over when he posted an Instagram story in late November proclaiming his innocence and seemingly revealing Ballerini, had ‘blocked’ him.
