Kelsea Ballerini and boyfriend Chase Stokes are more loved-up than ever!

The country singer, 31, raved about the Outer Banks actor, 32, telling People on Friday, October 11 about how much she values Stokes being in her life.

“He’s been such a big, beautiful part of my life for almost two years now,” Ballerini gushed.

The musician added that Stokes had served as creative muse for her, adding, “I’m really proud of the art that he’s inspired.”

Not only is Ballerini grateful for the positive way Stokes is affecting her music, the “Love Me Like You Mean It” singer is also in awe of her boyfriend’s creative career as an actor.

“And I’m really proud to be with someone who’s a truth-teller in his own art too,” she told the outlet. “And to be aligned in that way and to share parts of our relationship and that kind of stuff, so openly and willingly, is really beautiful.”

Stokes is often outspoken about his relationship with Ballerini, who he started dating in early 2023 after she slid into his DMs, and seemingly sends praise her way at any given opportunity.

“I truthfully think when you find somebody who’s not just somebody you love and adore, but is also your best friend, you’ve kind of got the best of both worlds,” he gushed during a Thursday, October 3 appearance on Today. “And she’s not just a great person, but everything that you see — whether it be on social media or when she’s on stage — is exactly the person she is when she’s not doing those things.”

Stokes also recently shared that his mother found out about the couple’s romance in an unexpected way.

“I went home and every year for the holidays I go back to my mom’s house. And I drove from Charleston where I live to Florida, where my mom is, and I came down the stairs and she has music playing,” Stokes recalled on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in early October.  “I was like, ‘Wait a minute… Is that Kelsea Ballerini playing on my mom’s speaker system? And I just looked up at the sky and was like ‘What the f—?’

He continued: “My mom heard me and she goes, ‘Is that her?’ And I was like, ‘Yep, yeah, that’s the girl I told you I was kind of talking to. It’s weird that you’re listening to her at your house. And it’s almost been two years [of dating] now.”
