In September, Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini reportedly broke up<\/a> after three years of dating. Then, less than a month later, they were spotted holding hands<\/a> at a smashburger restaurant and dancing to ABBA in the street<\/a> in Croatia. It\u2019s unclear where they stand now, but a handful of cryptic posts from both of them suggest things are getting messy.<\/p>\n

It started on Monday, when Ballerini posted a TikTok<\/a> of herself lip-syncing to her new song \u201cPeople Pleaser.\u201d The video\u2019s comment section was apparently flooded with people stanning Stokes and ex-girlfriend and co-star Madelyn Cline<\/a>, and the actor responded with a comment of his own. \u201cThese comments are fucking weird. Grow up,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Ballerini did not respond to her ex directly, but she did like another comment on the video that says, \u201cY\u2019all need to stop hating on honesty and vulnerability when it isn\u2019t \u2018cute.\u2019 I\u2019m SO GRATEFUL to have an artist that takes REAL feelings and expresses them like Kelsea does.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seems like things are at least amicable between Stokes and Ballerini, right? Well, maybe not. On Thursday, Stokes wrote on his Instagram Stories, \u201cDon\u2019t believe the media. I\u2019m blocked, I did nothing wrong,\u201d according to People<\/a>. \u201cSorry \u2764\ufe0f I tried,\u201d he continued. Huh! He posted another slide, writing, \u201cI\u2019m sorry for those who believed in us. It is what it is. Onwards and upwards.\u201d<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s true that Ballerini and Stokes no longer follow each other on Instagram, it\u2019s unclear when that happened \u2014 and whether Stokes was actually talking about her. Whatever is going on, maybe they can work things out on their next Eurotrip?<\/p>\n
