Ballerini, 30, opened up to Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast about her relationship with the Outer Banks star and divulged that the couple recently received matching tattoos. Cooper, 29, was thanking the singer for opening up about her relationship when Ballerini quickly revealed, "Well now I spilled it on here that we have matching tattoos, so we can’t break up," joked the singer. Cooper then asked the singer to repeat herself, leading the “Penthouse” singer to confirm that they "have little Virgo [tattoos].” Cooper quickly asked Ballerini to confirm whether or not she got the tattoo with her boyfriend, 31, or had it before their relationship.“We got it like three weeks ago,” replied the "Peter Pan" singer. As Cooper asked a couple more questions about the matching tattoos, Ballerini jokingly replied, “I’m sweating.” Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini attend the 2023 CMT Music Awards on April 02, 2023 in Austin, Texas.

He and I have like really allowed ourselves to love that part of ourselves and each other,” continued Ballerini. “Just the need to communicate well and be loyal — and planning is not a bad thing when it's like for the right things — all those things. It's just like a thing that kind of defines us.” Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini at the 2023 Video Music Awards on Sept. 12, 2023 in Newark, New Jersey. ohn Shearer/Getty Kelsea Ballerini on Being Pitted Against Boyfriend Chase Stokes' Ex Madelyn Cline: 'People Want Drama' The Call Her Daddy host continued to ask the Grammy nominee questions about her relationship with the Outer Banks star.
