• Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes were reportedly spotted holding hands at a restaurant in Dubrovnik two months after splitting.
  • The couple split in September after nearly three years together, citing communication struggles and busy schedules as major factors.
  • Despite the breakup, recent sightings suggest that their relationship perhaps isn’t over just yet.

Just about two months after news of their split broke, it seems like Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes could be giving their romance a second chance. On November 7, a source for People claimed to see the exes at Kiba Smash Burger in Dubrovnik, Croatia, where they were reportedly looking veeery friendly.

“They were holding hands at the table and talking closely,” the insider reported. “After they got up, they walked together hand in hand towards Old Town. They looked very cute.”

Side note: The timing of this reconciliation is particularly interesting, considering Kelsea just dropped her new song “I Sit in Parks,” which is all about how she wants “to be a mother” but is worried she waited too long “chasing things a body clock doesn’t wait for.” Just saying!

Quick reminder that Kelsea and Chase went their separate ways in September after just about three years of dating, with a source telling People, “They’re two adults who gave it their all and tried to do everything they could to make it work, but ultimately couldn’t. It happens.”

Soon after, another insider spilled more deets about the breakup to Us Weekly, claiming, “They had been arguing a lot recently, and their communication wasn’t great in the last month. They were both traveling so much and trying to juggle everything, and the arguments piled up.”

The source added, “Although it’s been a few years, Kelsea is still coming out of a divorce and figuring out what she really wants, and she’s not in a place where she’s going to just settle. Chase understood that, but in the end, they realized they weren’t aligning the way they hoped.”

By October, fans started to wonder whether the couple was actually done for good when Chase was spotted by a DeuxMoi tipster at the airport in Nashville (where Kelsea happens to own a home).

Soon after, another DeuxMoi source seemingly caught Kelsea Facetiming with Chase from the Keeneland race track in Kentucky.

So...all this to say perhaps we haven’t see the last of Kelsea and Chase yet!
