Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes look loved at the premiere of Broadway’s Shucked
Hot couple Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes joined the stars at the premiere of Broadway’s new musical Shucked in New York City on Tuesday night.
The country singer, 29, and the Outer Banks hunk, 30, looked loved up as they posed for photographers ahead of the show.
They had their arms wrapped around each other and Kelsea was caught checking out her beau as he flashed a swooning smile.
They made their red carpet debut earlier this week while attending the CMT Awards that Kelsea co-hosted with Kane Brown.
Kelsea and Chase sparked romance rumors in January, just five months after she divorced compatriot Morgan Evans, 38.

Kelsea exuded sex appeal in a skimpy marigold mini dress with a bold cutout at the chest.
It had a short skirt with ruffles and long sleeves.
In contrast, the Blind hitmaker slipped on black semi-sheer tights and matching patent leather heels.
Her bright blonde hair was pulled up in a ponytail and she made her blue eyes pop by rocking a shimmering bronze eyeshadow look.
Kelsea seemed smitten with Chase, who was smoldering for shutterbugs in a fitted navy blue blazer and a white shirt left slightly open.
The actor wore matching navy pants and brown suede boots to complete his look.
Also in attendance was Grammy Award winner Kacey Musgraves.
The Butterflies singer looked phenomenal in a snakeskin trench coat which she paired with a matching stand-up collar top and trousers.

Plus one: she was joined by her adorable grandmother, who looked radiant in a blue dress and pearls
Her long dark brown hair looked ultra-glossy as it fell in straight locks over her chest.
Kacey rocked a graphic silver eye look paired with a matte nude lip and lots of bronzing powder on her cheeks.
She was accompanied by her adorable grandmother, who looked radiant in a blue dress and pearls.
Shucked is a new Broadway musical comedy that follows a brave small-town girl who seeks help in the big city after the cornfields that once sealed off her small town from the outside world suddenly die.
Grammy Award-winning songwriters Brandy Clark – who has worked with Kacey – and Shane McAnally – who frequently collaborates with Kelsea – composed the show’s score.
It has a book by Tony Award-winning playwright Robert Horn and fellow Tony Award-winner Jack O’Brien directed the production.
It stars John Behlmann, Kevin Cahoon, Andrew Durand, Gray Henson, Caroline Innerbichler, Ashley D. Kelley and Alex Newell.
Kelsea and Chase’s opening night performance of the musical comes just two days after they appeared on the red carpet at the 2023 CMT Music Awards in Austin, Texas.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they posed with their arms wrapped around each other.
Before the ceremony, Kelsea called Chase her “really hot date” while speaking to CMT’s Carissa Culiner.
“I’m really, really happy and it’s really nice to… this is our first outing, so I’m like, ‘Come on into my world and then take me to Charleston [where his TV series Outer Banks films,]she gushed.
In February, she confirmed her relationship with Stokes on Alex Cooper’s podcast Call Her Daddy, when she revealed that they “had fun” when she returned to the dating scene following her divorce from Evans.

Speaking of Stokes, the beauty admitted to slipping into his Instagram DMs despite never watching his show.
“I just dove in,” Ballerini mused. “His name is ‘@hichasestokes’ and I said, ‘Hello, Chase Stokes.’
When concerned about how Evans feels about her moving on, Ballerini said, “No, because I’m not married to him anymore and I don’t have to worry about his feelings anymore.”
Still, she clarified that she means that by “all the respect in the world,” but knows that “his journey” is no longer hers.
