Red carpet debut alert! Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes weren’t exactly worried about running into her ex-husband, Morgan Evans, on the CMT Awards red carpet. Or, if they were, they certainly weren’t showing it. Ballerini’s fellow country star ex appeared to be the furthest thing on her mind as she stepped out with Stokes for their red-carpet couple debut. And boy howdy, did they make a hot new couple.
The “Outer Banks” star held his love very close as they walked together, with Ballerini — who co-hosted the event — holding onto his hand as they posed for pictures together. She even showed her love for her man by putting her hand on his face while giving the camera a coy smile. See. We told you these two were totally hot.

These two made things very official on the red carpet mere days after Evans got people talking over a somewhat flirty TikTok with another blonde country star, Ashley Cooke, that got plenty of people buzzing in the comments section. In fact, it got people chattering so much that Cooke had to turn the boil down to a simmer. “Dang guys, these comments — we’re just touring together. Easyyy,” she commented. We guess we’ll have to wait and see if Evans and Cooke pull a Ballerini and Stokes and make their red-carpet debut at the CMT Awards next year!
