Kelsea Ballerini finally breaks silence after Chase Stokes' cryptic messages: 'Protecting my peace'

As speculation about her break up with Chase Stokes grows, Kelsea Ballerini has finally come forward making a heartfelt plea.

During an Instagram story AMA (ask me anything), the 32-year-old singer-songwriter and musician opened up about her ongoing healing journey.

A fan had questioned the Miss Me More singer about her well-being, "How are YOU?!? You heal a lot of us, what do YOU need?”

In response, Kelsea expressed her gratitude for the fans, before she went on to share an emotional but sweet answer.

"Thank you for saying this and asking," she penned on the close up photo of herself at the beach.

Continuing, "I'm in a steady and happy place right now, truly excited for this Australia tour and the holidays."

The Love Me Like You Mean it hitmaker then proceeded to answer the question, saying, "If I had one favor, it would be honoring that I'm trying to make my personal life personal for now. Unless it comes from me, it's not from me. and that is really important in protecting my peace right now."

Her message comes shortly after the Outer Banks star Chase posted two cryptic Instagram stories on November 20.

The 33-year-old actor’s post seemed to indicate that he and Kelsea, who People confirmed parted ways in September but were seen holding hands earlier this month, are allegedly truly over this time.

Don't believe the media. I'm blocked, I did nothing wrong," Chase penned in the first post. It also appears to be that they are not currently following each other on Instagram.

"Sorry. I tried," he continued.

In the second post, he wrote, "I'm sorry for those who believed in us. "It is what it is. Onwards and upwards."
