Well, it's official, folks! Kelsea Ballerini is off the market.

The "HEARTFIRST" singer has had quite the ride these last few weeks as new revelations about her divorce from ex-husband Morgan Evans keep coming to the surface. The whole situation has turned into a "he said, she said," but Kelsea decided to reveal her truth by releasing a vulnerable 6-track EP on Valentine's Day (savage!) alongside a tear-jerking short film.

Now, the 29-year-old is ready to move on, and it just so happens that she's moving on with one of television's hottest stars by her side. Earlier this year, the singer soft launched her relationship with Outer Banks star Chase Stokes and ever since posting their cozy photo, fans have been waiting for the official relationship stamp. Judging from the Outer Banks star's latest post, they've FINALLY confirmed their status.

With the highly-anticipated new season of the hit Netflix show premiering, Chase wrote a lengthy caption reflecting on his career and fans' support. "I'm forever grateful for every single human being who has made this show what it is. to the fans- thank you. I adore you. thank you for making all of my wildest dreams come to life," he wrote.

Among the snapshots, Kelsea was unfortunately nowhere to be found, but she was very much present in the comment section. The "Blindsided" singer left a simple "🤍" under Chase's post and garnered over 700 likes and counting from fans.

We know what you're thinking—how does a heart emoji confirm an A-list relationship? Well, if you combine that with the photo of them cuddling at a football game AND Kelsea's recent Call Her Daddy interview, it's crystal clear that the two are head over heels for each other.

On the podcast, Kelsea admitted that she took things into her own hands and messaged Chase on Instagram first. "I've never seen his show, but I just knew of him, and I just swan dove right on in," she joked.

Later when asked if she was concerned about her ex-husband finding out about her new relationship she replied, "No, because I'm not married to him anymore and I don't need to care about his feelings anymore. And I mean that with all the respect in the world, but his journey is not mine anymore," Kelsea continued.

With an upcoming Saturday Night Live performance and embarking on tour in March, Chase also opened up in an interview on TODAY with Sheinelle Jones about rooting Kelsea on for her big night. "Kelsea Ballerini, she'll be taking the stage. Going out on a limb here — are you a fan?", she asked. Chase replied, "Absolutely I'm a fan. Yeah, who isn't a fan?" and later nodded when asked if they're officially a couple.
