“I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,” the singer began, with a screenshot that insinuated she and the actor were a PR stunt posted behind her. “Stop reading, stop reading. Stop looking,” she continued. “But what is happening, guys? What? What? What? No, let’s not do this, you know?”
“I’m about to break up with the internet 5 sure ????,” was the caption to the video ????.

During an interview with People tied to the premiere of Outer Banks season 3, Chase was asked about the pic he posted of himself and Kelsea and said they “have just been spending some time together.”
“Kelsea is a lovely, lovely girl. She’s great. We’re having a good time,” he added.
However, that VERY SAME DAY, Kelsea reposted a comment by someone who had written “@hichasestokes come get your girl” in another vid with a TikTok showing herself sitting up in bed while wearing eye patches and sipping out of a teacup. She smiled to the camera and casually leaned over to reveal what appeared to be Chase’s tattooed arm.

During a Call Her Daddy appearance, Kelsea revealed the coy way she and Chase first began talking: a DM slide ????.
“I was ready to open back up,” the singer confessed to host Alex Cooper. “I just felt, why not? I’ve never really dated; I don’t know how it works. I’m like, ‘Let’s just put ourselves out there; let’s just vibe.’ And it’s been fun.”
The musician said she slid into Chase’s DMs after the two started following each other on Instagram. “I’ve never seen his show, but I just knew of him, and I just swan dove right on in…His handle is ‘@hichasestokes,’ and I said, ‘Hi, Chase Stokes.’” S’cute!
Kelsea also opened up about her ex Morgan and learning to put her own feelings first. “I’m not married to him anymore, and I don’t need to care about his feelings anymore,” she said. “And I mean that with all the respect in the world, but his journey is not mine anymore. And so, I hope that he is protected from whatever he needs to be protected from seeing. I hope he has people in his life that help him do that, that is not my job.”
