Chase Stokes fuels marriage speculations with Kelsea Ballerini

Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini sparked marriage rumours with a new photo.

Ringing into the new year on Tuesday, December 31, the Outer Banks star posted a cosy selfie of himself and the American singer-songwriter on Instagram.

"2024 thanks for being done," he captioned the adorable snapshot, which the social media users can’t stop gushing about. 

However, some eagle-eyed fans spotted a silver band on Stokes’ ring finger, prompting them to speculate whether the love birds are married.

"I see a wedding band," one fan noted.

"This ring…" another wrote with a raising eyes emoji.

"Are they married?" a curious fan asked.

"Is that a wedding ring, or am I crazy?" a fourth chimed in.

Meanwhile, a fifth fan wished them a happy new year, saying, "I’m having a feeling something big is happening this year for you, chase. I love you! have a good new year."

"Recently she was asked if she would get married again, and she said yes," another fan mentioned the Miss Me More singer’s recent view on getting married for the second time after divorce with Morgan Evans.

In an interview with E! News, the 31-year-old singer shared her evolving views on commitment after previously stating that she would not consider remarriage.

"I would never say never to anything," she said. "Anything that I've said a hard no to in my life, I have come back and challenged myself on."

Stokes, 31, and Ballerini started dating in 2023. Though the two haven’t confirmed anything about tying the knot, fans are already excited about the idea of them saying "I do" to each other.
