Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes were seen getting cozy during a recent trip to Scotland, just a month after their breakup.
A source mentioned that the couple appeared “very much in love and holding hands” while dining at the Cannonball Restaurant and Bar near Edinburgh Castle. This was reported by Us Weekly.
The insider noted that both Ballerini, 32, and Stokes, 33, seemed “very kind.” They described a brief interaction with Stokes, where he shared that he was on holiday in Scotland before heading to Croatia for the filming of the final season of *Outer Banks*. He even took some time to pose for photos with fans.
“They both looked really happy and were smiling,” the source added.
Just days later, the stars were spotted together again in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
Representatives for Ballerini and Stokes haven’t responded to requests for comments.
After dating for about two years, the couple ended their relationship in September. A source told People magazine at that time that they were two adults who gave it their best shot but ultimately couldn’t make it work. “It happens,” the insider remarked.
Another source commented on their breakup, saying, “It was a tough goodbye.” They mentioned that the two had been arguing more frequently lately, partly due to heavy travel schedules and struggles with communication.
This breakup occurred just two days after Stokes celebrated Ballerini’s 32nd birthday on Instagram, expressing his love for her in a heartfelt message.
The pair began dating in January 2023, with their relationship first hinted at when Stokes shared a photo of them together while watching a college football game.
