Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini have sparked marriage rumors after sharing a cozy New Year’s Eve selfie, fueling speculation among fans about a possible wedding. On Tuesday, December 31, the Outer Banks star posted an adorable snapshot with the country music star on Instagram.
“2024 thanks for being done,” Stokes captioned the sweet photo, which quickly captured the attention of social media users, who couldn’t stop gushing over the couple’s closeness.
However, some eagle-eyed fans noticed a silver band on Stokes’ ring finger, leading to speculation about whether the two might be married.
“I see a wedding band,” one fan observed. “This ring…” another wrote, accompanied by a raising eyes emoji. “Are they married?” a curious follower asked. “Is that a wedding ring, or am I crazy?” a fourth fan chimed in.
Meanwhile, a fifth fan had a hopeful prediction for the couple’s future, saying, “I’m having a feeling something big is happening this year for you, Chase. I love you! Have a good new year.”
Additionally, one fan pointed out that Ballerini had recently expressed an openness to remarriage. “Recently she was asked if she would get married again, and she said yes,” the fan referenced Ballerini’s views following her divorce from Morgan Evans.
In a past interview with E! News, the 31-year-old singer shared her evolving perspective on commitment. “I would never say never to anything,” she said, adding, “Anything that I’ve said a hard no to in my life, I have come back and challenged myself on.”
Stokes, also 31, and Ballerini began dating in 2023. While neither has confirmed whether they’ve tied the knot, fans are already excited about the possibility of them saying “I do.”
