Kelsea Ballerini Celebrates 33rd Birthday with Bikini Photo
The country singer shared a celebratory post featuring a beachside snapshot, drawing attention from fans and an ex-boyfriend.
Country music star Kelsea Ballerini marked her 33rd birthday by sharing a photo of herself in a red bikini on a luxury boat, captioning the Instagram post, “Another trip around the sun ❤️.”
The image shows Ballerini on the deck of a boat, holding a cowboy hat and wearing a red bikini top with a matching cover-up skirt. Fans reacted positively to the photo, with many commenting on her physique. "THE PILATES ARE SHOWINGGGG 😍🔥happy birthday angel girl 🩷✨ @kelseaballerini,” one user wrote, while another added, “Holy abs! Hbd kb❤️."
Amidst the birthday wishes, some fans noted that Chase Stokes, Ballerini's ex-boyfriend and star of "Outer Banks," had liked the photo. Ballerini and Stokes dated for approximately three years, experiencing a brief separation in September 2025 before their final split in February 2026.
Prior to her relationship with Stokes, Ballerini was married to fellow country singer Morgan Evans. She filed for divorce in August 2022, ending their nearly five-year marriage.
In a May 2023 interview with Elle Magazine, Ballerini discussed her divorce and how she approaches fans who express solidarity at her concerts. "I try to never celebrate it until I know if it’s a good thing. I don’t ever want to be a poster child for divorce,” she stated. She added, “It’s been three years now. It’s simply not in the forefront of my life anymore.” Ballerini also emphasized that while divorce should be destigmatized, it should not be celebrated or glamorized.
Her 2023 album, “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat,” features songs that chronicle the end of her relationship with Evans, including tracks like “Blindsided,” “Mountain with a View,” and “Penthouse.”
