Kelsea Ballerini has publicly dismissed ongoing rumors of a feud with Madelyn Cline, the ex-girlfriend of her boyfriend, actor Chase Stokes. The speculation was put to rest when Cline shared a playful photo with the pop singer on her Instagram Story, showing the two laughing together.
Since Ballerini and Stokes began dating, there has been persistent online gossip about tension between the singer and Cline. Ballerini has repeatedly denied any conflict. The recent photo, featuring the two covering their laughs with their hands, appears to be a direct effort to squash the rumors once and for all.
The couple, Ballerini and Stokes, confirmed they rekindled their romance after a brief breakup in September, which had further fueled the feud speculation. Cline and Stokes were previously in a relationship after meeting on the set of Netflix's 'Outer Banks'.
In a past interview on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, Ballerini spoke positively about Cline, calling her "lovely" and "wildly talented," and criticized the internet for trying to create drama. She also expressed appreciation for the professional relationship between Stokes and his ex.
