Actor Chase Stokes has hinted that he may have been “blocked” by his ex-girlfriend, country singer Kelsea Ballerini, even as rumors of a possible reunion continue to circulate.
The Outer Banks star made the claim in a now-deleted Instagram Story on Thursday, according to Cosmopolitan.
“Don’t believe the media,” he wrote. “I’m blocked, I did nothing wrong. Sorry. I tried.”
In another post, Stokes, 33, added, “I’m sorry for those who believed in us. It is what it is. Onwards and upwards.”
Stokes did not name Ballerini directly, but the pair reportedly ended their relationship in September after nearly three years together. At the time, a source told People magazine that the breakup was mutual. “They’re two adults who gave it their all and tried to do everything they could to make it work, but ultimately couldn’t,” the insider said.

The cause of the split remains unclear. Just days before their reported breakup, Stokes had celebrated Ballerini’s 32nd birthday with a heartfelt social media tribute, sharing sweet photos of the two together.

Despite their separation, Stokes and Ballerini sparked fresh speculation earlier this month after Us Weekly reported that the former couple appeared “very much loved-up” during a trip to Scotland. A source said the pair seemed “like the sweetest people” while visiting a bar near Edinburgh Castle.

“He was very nice,” the source added, noting that Stokes chatted about enjoying a holiday in Scotland before heading to Croatia to film the final season of Outer Banks. The insider also said Stokes happily took photos with fans and that the pair looked “happy and smiley.”
