Kelsea Ballerini sang the praises of her supportive new boyfriend, Chase Stokes, while making an appearance at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards on Tuesday (October 8) at the Paradise Club in New York City. The country singer shared how the Outer Banks star inspired her creatively while she was recording her forthcoming album, Patterns, which is due out on October 25. “He’s been such a big, beautiful part of my life for almost two years now,” said Ballerini, who started dating Stokes in early 2023. “I’m really proud of the art that he’s inspired. And I’m really proud to be with someone who’s a truth-teller in his own art too. 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.” (People)
