\n\tThe pair called off their romantic relationship in September after three years of dating, but with the new year comes an apparent reunion \u2014 with both Ballerini and Stokes sharing their views on love via Instagram on Wednesday (Dec. 31).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSomething I\u2019ve learned this year: don\u2019t take advantage of the most beautiful things that in 33 years of life are fleeting,\u201d Stokes wrote in a post featuring photos<\/a> of him snuggling with the country singer. \u201cTake accountability, learn from mistakes. Lean into love and say it often. 2026 my year of growth, my year of truth. Starting here, starting now. Happy new years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, Ballerini took to her Instagram Stories to share, \u201cMessy year for the heart, messy year for the outside coming in, messy year for the way it became an out of our hands portrayal of it. But what i\u2019ll say, and all i really care to share indefinitely with my personal life anymore, is that i really love love. I believe in it, i believe in him, and i believe in breaking patterns.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0\u201cgo kiss your person and stop speculating,\u201d she added in her New Year\u2019s Eve update.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cEmerald City\u201d singer and the\u00a0Outer Banks\u00a0<\/em>star originally confirmed they were a couple back in 2023, walking the CMT Awards red carpet together that year. They\u2019d first connected<\/a>\u00a0in 2022, when Ballerini introduced herself to Stokes through a direct message<\/a>\u00a0on social media.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn early December, Ballerini told fans<\/a>,\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m trying to make my personal life personal for now. Unless it comes from me, it\u2019s not from me, and that is really important in protecting my peace right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe singer-songwriter\u2019s most recent release is her six-song EP Mount Pleasant<\/em>, which arrived in November via Black River Entertainment. The EP followed Ballerini\u2019s Top Country Albums No. 1 Patterns<\/em>, the full-length studio album she released in 2024.<\/p>\n
