Are they dating or are they not? Kelsea Ballerini was coy about it, but Chase Stokes was a little more blunt when TMZ confronted him about the new romance. Chase Stokes is an actor most known for his leading role in the show, "Outer Banks." We have photo confirmation that the musician and actor spent quality time together at the College National Championship Game. But there always is two sides to every story, right?

Chase's Side

Chase was stopped by TMZ and when asked about Kelsea he did not deny the relationship. Chase said "She's a sweet girl. We're having a good time and that's all I'll say." Watch it in the video below if you don't believe me!

Kelsea's Side

She hasn't said anything but I know a blushing lady when I see one! Check out her TikTok video below and see for yourself!

The Proof

See Kelsea's hand wrapped up in his arm? That's a superrrr tell-tale sign that you are more than friends. Body language says it all and while Kelsea might not have said anything, does she really have to?

Scroll through Chase's pics on his instagram and you'll see Kelsea and Chase snuggling up in the stands of the National Championship game. She even wrote on the post saying "Go Vols."
