“Outer Banks” star Chase Stokes is opening up about his rumored new girlfriend, country star Kelsea Ballerini!

“Extra’s” Rachel Lindsay caught up with Chase on Thursday at the “Outer Banks” Season 3 premiere, where he was surrounded by his celebratory cast mates.

When asked about all the hugs and love on the red carpet, Stokes said, "It's a testament to the show. It's a testament to the hard work that we constantly put in, whether it's on the day on set or the amount that we put into the press."

He emphasized, "It's such a dream job for all of us. To have a moment like this to share with everyone... I'm just so thankful to be here."

Although they haven’t confirmed their romance, Chase also had sweet things to say about Kelsea and her new EP “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat.”

“She’s an incredible human being,” Stokes said. “I adore her to death. This is a huge moment for her. So, I’m just very, very proud of her.”

Before his rumored new romance... Chase and his co-star Madelyn Cline dated in real life, but broke it off and remain friends. They set off on a dangerous new adventure this season, packed with action, love triangles, and new mysteries as John B and his band of misfits the Pogues... search for buried treasure and the lost “city of gold.”

Rachel asked Chase, “How much would you say your personality is like John B.?”

Stokes shared. “We share a couple of coincidences. We share some similarities. And a lot of differences. I mean, he’s 17. I’m 30 years old. A lot of the mistakes he makes, I want to slap him in the back.”
