Chase Stokes is happy to be Kelsea Ballerini's "golden retriever boyfriend."

The two have been dating since early 2023 and have been super open about their adorable relationship ever since.

Recently, Stokes attended the CMT Awards, where Ballerini gave a stunning performance with drag queens and was spotted faithfully filming from the audience.

Outer Banks actor was MC for Netflix's Tudum: While MCing a global fan event in Sao Paulo this past weekend, the Outer Banks actor was asked what he thought about a certain nickname he got for his behavior at CMT. He was asked.

"You went viral at the CMT Awards after filming Kelsey's performance on your phone," an "Entertainment Tonight" reporter told him. I think the Internet called you "The Golden Retriever's Boyfriend." What do you think of that title?

Without hesitation, Stokes said! I accept it. I have a Golden Retriever. I'm half golden retriever and half German shepherd! But it adds up.

A "Golden Retriever Boyfriend" is essentially a boyfriend with boundless positive and cooperative energy, and is generally very healthy towards his partner.

"You and Kelsey must be big fans of each other professionally," the reporter continued.

Stokes replied, "Oh my gosh, yes. She really is the best human being on the planet, and she's so talented." She is the best human being on this planet earth and she is so talented."

"I was just watching the video, she sent me the one from Santa Barbara last night, and just seeing her music and her kind of shining the way she has been getting lately To, it was beautiful."

The country star admitted on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast that she originally blended in with her boyfriend's DMs. I had never seen his show, but I knew who he was and jumped right in. His handle was '@hichasestokes' and I said, 'Hi, Chase Stokes'" (via People).

Ah, those two!

The fact that the relationship between Ballerini and Stokes is going so well is even more heartwarming because the singer has had some tough times lately. The country star divorced her ex-husband Morgan Evans in 2022, and the two wrote very honest breakup songs about each other: namely "Over for You" on Evans' side and "Mountain With a View" on Ballerini's.
