Meanwhile, last month, Kelsea shared how much she appreciates Chase’s pride in their relationship.

The singer reminisced about how the actor made their romance official on Instagram in January 2023 — before they had even discussed whether they were “together.”

Speak with Entertainment tonight during a game of Sip or Spill, she said, “I think it’s very underrated that a man is really proud of his relationship.”

She added: ‘[He posted that photo] before we even had the conversation of, “Are we together?” Even as a very independent woman, I like it when he says, “This is us. Here we are.” He passed that on completely.’

The photo, shared on January 13, 2023, was captioned “Lil recap” and showed the couple cuddling at a football game, with Kelsea tagged in the post, although their faces were not visible.

The couple is committed to nurturing their relationship, even when work keeps them apart for extended periods of time.

They officially walked the red carpet together at the CMT Music Awards in April 2023.

Chase recently praised Kelsea as an “amazing person,” and went on to say Today“I honestly think that when you find someone who is not only someone you love and adore, but who is also your best friend, you have the best of both worlds.

“And not only is she an amazing person, but everything you see – whether it’s on social media or when she’s on stage – is exactly the person she is when she’s not doing those things.”
