Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes have split for the third time. Kelsea is reportedly \u201cdone\u201d with their relationship and doesn’t want to get back together.Chase, meanwhile, \u201cisn’t ready\u201d for it to be over for good between them.<\/p>\n

ICYMI: Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes<\/a> have broken up yet again, making it the third time they\u2019ve decided to call their epic relationship quits. Kelsea is ready to move on from Chase, but Chase is seemingly willing to do whatever it takes to keep making their relationship work, according to some insider sources.<\/p>\n

\u201cKelsea and Chase have broken up again. It happened just the other day,\u201d a source told Us Weekly on February 6<\/a>. The country star is reportedly \u201ctaking it better\u201d than the last two times she and Chase split up.<\/p>\n

The source also revealed that Chase \u201cstill isn\u2019t ready to give up\u201d on making a relationship with Kelsea work, but she, on the other hand, is officially \u201cdone\u201d with trying.<\/p>\n

Things between Kelsea and Chase seemed to be smooth sailing at the beginning of last month. After reconciling following their second breakup, sources at Us Weekly<\/a> revealed in early January that the now former couple was attempting to move \u201cmuch more carefully and intentionally … after a very messy breakup, they took real time apart to figure out what they actually wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n

The major conversation that the pair had \u201cactually reminded them why they connected in the first place,\u201d the Us insider said, noting that Kelsea and Chase were \u201ckeeping things more private\u201d in the months ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey want to protect what they\u2019re rebuilding and avoid outside noise or pressure,\u201d the source continued. \u201cIt\u2019s still early, but they are rebuilding trust and better communication. They are hopeful their relationship will work in a healthier way than before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Given the fresh breakup news, this part is truly crazy to hear but: The source at the time said that Kelsea has told friends that Chase \u201cis her soulmate.\u201d Their circle of friends were \u201creally happy\u201d that they reconnected again and were \u201chopeful it will work out this time around.\u201d<\/p>\n

Things then got rather…interesting once the Grammys rolled around this month. Kelsea attended the awards show solo, but told Entertainment Tonight that their last breakup wasn\u2019t as \u201cdramatic\u201d as it appeared. \u201cI love him so much,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been together for quite a while now and done a lot of life together and he was with me getting ready today and he\u2019ll be with me when we wrap. I love love and I believe it in it.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the very next day, Chase\u2019s ex Madelyn Cline<\/a> posted a photo of her and Kelsea laughing to her Instagram Story, which is certainly a choice in light of what we know now.<\/p>\n
