Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes Break Up One Month After Reconciliation

The couple cited repeated arguing, poor communication, and heavy travel as factors in their rocky relationship, which ended again after multiple attempts to reconcile, sources said.

  • Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes have reportedly split again, according to Us Weekly and TMZ, after fans noticed Ballerini unfollowed Stokes on Instagram on February 6, 2026.
  • Insiders tell Us Weekly that arguing and poor communication drove a wedge between them, while sources say 2025 was a 'messy year for the heart' compounded by heavy travel.
  • They first linked up in early 2023, meeting on January 7, 2023, split in September 2025, and briefly reconciled by Dec. 31, 2025, marked by Stokes' Instagram post.
  • An insider tells Us Weekly the split happened this past week, with Ballerini taking it better while Stokes still isn't ready to give up.
  • Publicly, Ballerini described the situation as less dramatic than it appeared, saying `I feel like outwardly, it looked a lot more dramatic than it was` and vowed `I'm trying to make my personal life personal for now`.
