Stokes is often outspoken about his relationship with Ballerini, who he started dating in early 2023 after she slid into his DMs, and seemingly sends praise her way at any given opportunity.

“I truthfully think when you find somebody who’s not just somebody you love and adore, but is also your best friend, you’ve kind of got the best of both worlds,” he gushed during a Thursday, October 3 appearance on Today. “And she’s not just a great person, but everything that you see — whether it be on social media or when she’s on stage — is exactly the person she is when she’s not doing those things.”

And I just looked up at the sky and was like ‘What the f—?’

He continued: “My mom heard me and she goes, ‘Is that her?’ And I was like, ‘Yep, yeah, that’s the girl I told you I was kind of talking to. It’s weird that you’re listening to her at your house. And it’s almost been two years [of dating] now.”
