Outer Banks star Chase Stokes made his Met Gala debut this week and turned heads in his Michael Kors suit. He looked good, and so did his girlfriend, Kelsea Ballerini. Or is she his fiancée? Maybe even his wife? This is the question his fans have been asking ever since he posted a bunch of behind-the-scenes photos from their night, and Instagram users are convinced they secretly got married.
Fans React To Chase Stokes Met Gala Photos
Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini’s romance rumors began in January 2023 after attending a football game together. Since then, their relationship has blossomed, and they were one of the hottest couples to attend the Met Gala. Stokes gave fans a glimpse into their night and their relationship when he posted a bunch of photos on Instagram.
“More Met chaos cause why not also enjoy the clips in my hair,” he captioned the post. “It’s not a phase, Mom.”
The post was met with the usual reaction as people praised their hotness, but eagle-eyed fans also noticed something else; are those rings on their fingers?
“Not me zooming into that picture of you and Kelsea because she has a ring on her ring finger,” one fan wrote. Another fan also thought they spotted rings, and commented, “Did I miss something? Did you guys get married!!? Both wearing rings on fingers!?” Other comments on the post include, “Everybody concerned about the rings … I’m just perplexed that they split one piece of pizza #thisiswhytheyrehot,” “You guys were the best dressed at the met a really hot couple you 2 have the cutest love,” and “ARE YALL MARRIED?”
Stokes and Ballerini have not made any public statements about getting married. Could this have been their way of letting fans know? Or was it accidental? Or could it be nothing at all, and fans are misinterpreting their choice of rings? One thing we do know is that the couple has a lot of support from their fans.
