Kelsea Ballerini on New York City Move After Chase Stokes Breakup Kelsea Ballerini revealed she is temporarily relocating to New York City, clarifying her move from Nashville is not permanent. The country singer, 32, shared her decision during an exclusive interview with E! News’ Erin Lim Rhodes at the 2026 Fashion Trust U.S. Awards in Los Angeles on April 7. “I'm not permanently moving,” she said, adding she is staying in the city through the summer. Ballerini emphasized the experience has been a chance to “discover” herself and “start fresh” after her split from actor Chase Stokes. The pair’s relationship, which began in late 2022, ended definitively in February 2024. Ballerini confirmed their breakup in September 2023 after three years together, though they briefly rekindled their romance in December 2023. Despite appearing to be in a strong relationship at the 2026 Grammys in February, they went their separate ways a week later. Ballerini reflected on the emotional journey, sharing a message on her Instagram Story in February: “This year asked you to shed layers you didn’t even realize you were still carrying. It brought endings you didn’t expect, lessons you didn’t ask for, and moments that tested your patience, strength, and faith. But look at you. You’re still here. Wiser. Stronger. More aware of who you are and what you deserve.” Ballerini’s move to New York City coincided with her efforts to focus on personal growth and creative projects. She described the city as a source of “resurgence of energy” and shared plans to explore its culture, including a quest for “the best spicy rigatoni.” While the pasta search was her primary focus, she acknowledged the break from Chase had provided a necessary respite. Their relationship timeline began with a serendipitous moment in December 2022.#new_york_city #fashion_trust_us_awards #e_news #kelsea_ballerini #chase_stokes
