According to Us Weekly and other outlets, the country singer and the actor have broken up for a third time. The pair first split in September last year, before reconciling in December, but are now said to have decided to go their separate ways again.
The reports emerged just days after Ballerini spoke positively about the relationship at the 2026 Grammy Awards. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight on 1 February, she said they had been together for some time and had shared significant life experiences, adding that she believed strongly in love.

Ballerini has previously suggested that public perceptions of their on-and-off relationship were exaggerated. A representative confirmed their earlier split in September after nearly three years together, despite Stokes having posted a birthday tribute to her shortly beforehand.
