No pressure! Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes aren’t in a rush to label their relationship, a source exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly.“Right now, they have a very no strings [attached] situation,” the insider says, noting that the country singer, 29, and the Outer Banks star, 30, are “rarely in the same place, so they’re still getting to know each other.”The “Half of My Hometown” songstress and the Beach House actor “have a very flirty relationship,” the source explains, adding that the duo “like each other and are staying in contact.”The CMT Music Awards host, however, is “not looking to jump into something very serious” following her divorce from Morgan Evans last year. “Kelsea does really like Chase though, he’s fun and carefree and she needs that,” the insider tells Us. “So there’s a very real possibility that they could date exclusively on the future.”Ballerini made headlines in August 2022 when she and Evans, 37, announced they had parted ways after nearly five years of marriage.

The pair, who tied the knot in December 2017, finalized their divorce in November 2022.The exes have since traded jabs in their respective breakup ballads.

The Aussie singer penned “Over For You” in late 2022, in which he asked: “How long have you been breaking? / Why am I just finding out? / How long has it been over for you?”Ballerini, for her part, released a six-track EP titled Rolling Up the Welcome Mat on February 14. “I realize you loved me much more at twenty-three / I think that this is when it’s over for me,” she sings in the title track, “Mountain With a View.”The “You’re Drunk, Go Home” songstress opened up even more about the split during a February 22 appearance on the “Call Your Daddy” podcast.
