Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes’s Long Distance Rules And Efforts
Since confirming their relationship three years back, Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes have openly talked about each other at various events. In 2024, Stokes told People that they had a rule of never going more than three weeks without seeing one another.
The actor shared, “We don’t BS each other. If we need to make the effort to show up when one’s across the country, we do it. The amount of effort that we put into our careers, we should be doubling that in our personal lives. It’s about really putting in effort, and it’s not always easy and it’s not always convenient, but having a big, beautiful life didn’t come from convenience or ease.”
According to Chase Stokes, when work keeps them apart, it doesn’t feel like a loss because they understand and support each other’s commitments. He said, “We have a very hard line in the sand. We tried a couple of nights ago to do the one, two, three, go and hit play from afar, and we just could not figure it out. So we ended up watching Gone Girl.”
Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes’s relationship first became public in early 2023 and the singer confirmed it a month later.
