Chase Stokes<\/strong><\/a> revealed the unconventional way his mom found out who he was dating, while sharing a hilarious anecdote on late-night TV.<\/p>\n

The Outer Banks<\/em> star shared the details surrounding his early days dating country singer Kelsea Ballerini<\/strong>,<\/a> 31, during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cI went home and every year for the holidays I go back to my mom\u2019s 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,\u201d Stokes, 32, recalled to Fallon<\/strong> on Thursday, October 3.\u00a0 \u201cI was like, \u2018Wait a minute\u2026 Is that Kelsea Ballerini playing on my mom\u2019s speaker system? And I just looked up at the sky and was like \u2018What the f\u2014?\u2019<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cMy mom heard me and she goes, \u2018Is that her?\u2019 And I was like, \u2018Yep, yeah, that\u2019s the girl I told you I was kind of talking to. It\u2019s weird that you\u2019re listening to her at your house. And it\u2019s almost been two years [of dating] now.\u201d<\/p>\n

During his appearance on the show, Stokes also revealed that while the pair got off to a flirtatious start, the romance<\/a> almost fell apart before it really had a chance to blossom.<\/p>\n

The actor explained that they met after Ballerini slid into his DMs and they were chatting regularly while he was filming a movie in Bulgaria.<\/p>\n

It all almost came crumbling down, however, when an injury landed him in hospital and Ballerini assumed Stokes was purposely ignoring her.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started talking back and forth and I ended up getting a staph infection and so I was in the hospital and she thought I had ghosted her,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd she\u2019s like, \u2018Okay, whatever. On to the next.\u2019 And I texted her and I was like, \u2018Hey, I\u2019m so sorry, I was in the hospital with a staph infection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stokes went on to recall that Ballerini initially didn\u2019t believe him, leading to him to pull out all the stops to convince her he was really injured.<\/p>\n
