Kelsea Ballerini<\/strong> <\/a>thought her relationship with Chase Stokes<\/strong><\/a> was one of a kind before their recent breakups.<\/p>\n

\u201cKelsea hadn\u2019t found someone that was as compatible with her until Chase. He opened up to her, and they had a relationship with more intimacy than she has ever had,\u201d a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. <\/i>\u201cShe felt he was the most committed to her out of all the guys she has ever been with. That\u2019s why they worked so well, and that\u2019s why she believed they would work long-term.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the insider, Ballerini, 32, thought Stokes, 33, could be \u201cThe One.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe never loved someone like this before,\u201d the source adds. \u201cHe was the type of guy who would not take his eyes off her. They were really in love.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tKelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes\u2018 nearly three-year relationship came to a rocky end, a source close to the former couple exclusively tells Us Weekly. \u201cIt was a hard split,\u201d the insider shares. \u201cThey had been arguing a lot recently, and their communication wasn\u2019t great in the last month. They were both traveling so much and [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ballerini and Stokes started dating in January 2023, marking the Grammy nominee\u2019s first relationship after her divorce from Morgan Evans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s the most emotionally intelligent man I\u2019ve ever met in my life,\u201d Ballerini said of Stokes on a November 2023 episode of the \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d podcast. \u201cI keep telling him he\u2019s a man written by a woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time, Ballerini further explained how her intimacy with Stokes changed her thoughts about what she previously experienced in relationships.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy experience with it was very performative<\/a> and for the other person,\u201d Ballerini recalled. \u201cIt don\u2019t be like that anymore. I didn\u2019t understand how [sex] could be a real connector in a relationship. I always thought it was just something that you did. Now, I realize it\u2019s a connector for people.\u201d<\/p>\n

After two years and countless red carpet appearances together, Us <\/i>confirmed in September that Ballerini and Stokes broke up.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a hard split,\u201d a second source told Us <\/i><\/a>at the time. \u201cThey had been arguing a lot recently, and their communication wasn\u2019t great in the last month. They were both traveling so much and trying to juggle everything, and the arguments piled up.\u201d<\/p>\n
