Kelsea Ballerini Explains Why She Doesn't Watch Boyfriend Chase Stokes' Outer Banks


Kelsea Ballerini recently revealed in a playful TikTok video that she doesn’t actually watch her boyfriend Chase Stokes’ hit series, Outer Banks. The reason? The couple has a "pact" they follow when it comes to each other's work.

In the video, the 31-year-old country singer joked about her lack of knowledge of the show while humorously trying to rank its characters, which were presented to her randomly by a filter. Despite not being a fan of Outer Banks, she acknowledged how big the show has become, especially the latest season.

When a TikTok user commented, "Kelsea, you just need to watch the show," Ballerini responded with a laugh, explaining, "He and I have a deal!" She added, “But I’ve seen so much of this season and it’s badass. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS YOUR HONOR.”

While fans urged her to give the series a chance, Ballerini made it clear that she isn’t exactly in the dark. Although she hasn't watched the show in full, she’s well aware of the new season's buzz and called it "amazing."

Her lighthearted take didn’t stop there. Fans were quick to assume she might be ranking the characters based on her opinion of the actors, not the roles they played. Ballerini playfully responded to those comments, saying, "HAHAHA I DID MY BEST GO STREAM OUTER BANKS."

The filter threw some challenges her way by placing certain characters side-by-side, forcing her to make tough decisions. At one point, she had to choose between her boyfriend, Chase Stokes, and another character. To everyone's surprise, she ranked Stokes at number seven, while Jonathan Daviss took the top spot. But, in true Ballerini fashion, she expressed plenty of love and support for her beau.

She wrapped up the video by sharing her excitement for Outer Banks season 4, congratulating the cast and crew for their hard work.

Kelsea and Chase have been dating for about two years now, following Ballerini’s painful divorce from Morgan Evans. Their relationship started when Ballerini made the first move by messaging Stokes on X (formerly Twitter), a story she shared during an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast.
