Kelsea Ballerini is keeping her relationship with Chase Stokes lighthearted, even when it comes to his hit show Outer Banks. In a recent TikTok video, the 31-year-old singer revealed that she doesn’t actually watch the series, despite Stokes’ leading role. As part of a playful filter challenge, Ballerini had to rank the show’s characters but admitted, “What I do know… the new season is 🤌,” referencing the show’s fourth season.
Fans noted that Ballerini seemed to base her character rankings on the actors’ popularity rather than their roles in the series. In response to comments suggesting she should watch the show, she explained, “Because he and I have a deal!” However, she added, “But I’ve seen so much of this season and it’s badass 🤍 NO FURTHER QUESTIONS YOUR HONOR.”
During the video, she humorously struggled with the ranking system, eventually placing Stokes in the seventh position, much to her chagrin. “So I’m holding the no. 1 space, obviously. For obvious reasons,” she said, indicating Stokes deserves top honors. Once his photo appeared, she couldn’t help but compliment him, saying, “The bandana, the face… Ugh, we stan!”
Ballerini and Stokes began their romance nearly two years ago after the country artist slid into his DMs. During a February 2023 appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, she shared the story of their first interaction, explaining her eagerness to date again following her divorce from Morgan Evans.
“I just felt, why not? I’ve never really dated; I don’t know how it works. I’m like, ‘Let’s just put ourselves out there; let’s just vibe,’” she said. When asked about her first message to Stokes, she kept it simple, stating, “His handle is ‘@hichasestokes,’ and I said, ‘Hi, Chase Stokes.’”
