Kelsea Ballerini writes about ‘healing’ after her divorce from Morgan Evans and makes a reference to boyfriend Chase Stokes in her year-end message

Kelsea Ballerini made a reference to “healing” from her divorce from Morgan Evans in a post shared to her Instagram account on Sunday.

The 30-year-old country singer shared a photo of herself enjoying a cup of coffee on a balcony not far from the Eiffel Tower, commemorating the upcoming New Year.

The performer – who recently opened up about her sex life – also wrote a lengthy post discussing the experiences she's faced over the course of 2023, and she also made a reference to her boyfriend Chase Stokes.

Morgan started by saying that she had been. “Following life's breadcrumbs to the next right thing. Yet sometimes things go wrong. Sometimes things still go well.'

The hitmaker also said she had grown accustomed to 'Crying'. So much crying. Mottled cheeks in the presence of strangers, throaty exhalations to those who are safest.”

The Love Me Like You Mean It then referenced the end of her marriage to Evans, 38, who she initially started seeing in 2016.

The couple tied the knot at a wedding ceremony in Cabo San Lucas in 2017, and they remained together until last August, when they split.

The artists' union lasted another two months before it was officially dissolved in November last year.

Ballerini wrote that she was excited about “healing the past and falling in love with the present, all done in lockstep and unashamedly existing in the art of starting over.”

The singer then spoke about the downsides of life as a touring artist and how she had come to terms with the negatives of life on the road.

She said she had come to terms with “a hatred of airports and a house on wheels, exhaustion outweighing presence, guilt knowing my happiness should overpower everything.”

Ballerini went on to say that she had “written music as if nothing is forbidden, thus earning my artistic freedom.”

The songwriter then gave her fans some insight into her current interests, stating that she was “leaning toward quirkiness.” Adventure. Magic. Mystery. Horoscopes. Full moons. Manifest. To breathe.'

'He leaves his boots at the front door to let me know he'll come back to me. I'm coming back to me too,” she wrote.

The singer and actor were first linked last January, although they did not initially publicly acknowledge their romance.
