Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes are putting their hearts first while navigating major milestones in their relationship. “They work so well because they have fun together,” an insider exclusively shares in the newest issue of Us Weekly of the twosome’s romance. “They have a no-drama relationship and can just be themselves.”   However, while the country star, 29, and Stokes, 30, are “serious,” the source notes that settling down and taking the next big step isn’t on the radar — at least not yet. “They have no plans to get engaged anytime soon,” the insider explains.

Ballerini, who began dating Stokes in January after her split from ex-husband Morgan Evans, recently revealed she felt “secure” in her six-month relationship with the Outer Banks star — largely crediting him for her newfound happiness.   “The thing that we’ve decided, and to each their own, is when you’re with someone that you feel secure with and that you’re proud to be with, why not share it?” she gushed to StyleCaster in an interview published earlier this month. “He’s also a Virgo; we’re both Labrador Retrievers in human form.

It doesn’t take much conversation to be on the same page. It’s been half a year and it’s been great.” Ballerini confessed that while she’s been in the spotlight for years due to her music career, the heightened interest in her personal life is a new adjustment. “I’m giving myself a lot of grace,” she told the outlet, joking that her life over the past year has been a “s–tstorm.” In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies Ballerini and Evans, 38, were married for five years before calling it quits in August 2022.
