Chase Stokes ‘Such a Blessing' for Girlfriend Kelsea Ballerini: ‘They're Mapping Out Their Future'
'The more Kelsea gets to know Chase, the more she loves him,' the insider says. 'He's just so thoughtful and sweet, and super solid. She loves that he wants to work on things, that's the kind of life partner she wants.'
The Grammy-nominated country star, 31, began dating the Netflix heartthrob, 32, not long after finalizing her divorce from Australian singer Morgan Evans in November 2022. After ending her five-year marriage due to 'irreconcilable differences,' Kelsea, who tends to be very open with her fans via social media, gave an update:
'I've always tried my best to share my life with you in a real and vulnerable way, while also protecting layers of my personal life as they unfold. This is now public record so I wanted you to hear from me directly that I am going through a divorce,' she wrote on her Instagram Story. 'This deeply difficult decision is the result of a journey of love, growth, and effort that ultimately has come to an end.'
With the painful split behind her, the 'Cowboys Cry Too' singer first started getting cozy with Chase as early as January 2023, with the two snapped attending the Georgia vs. TCU game together that month. Their relationship took off after that, appearing in each other's socials more and more frequently before they went official as a couple in April of that year.
The source notes that after two years together, both Chase and Kelsea are open about planning their next steps and aren't shying away from committing to spending the rest of their lives together.
'They talk about everything,' the insider reveals. 'Communication is something they are both big on. That's why they are mapping out their future now, making sure they are on the same page about where they want to live, how they want to raise their future kids, even what kind of wedding they both want.'
All this talk of major milestones certainly hints at upcoming nuptials and a family, but more important than anything for the country singer is making sure she applies the lessons she suffered to severely to learn from her the implosion of her first marriage.
'They want to make sure they are aligned on the big things before they just jump in blindly,' the source adds. 'Kelsea learned a lot from her divorce, she wants to make sure not to repeat the same mistakes and Chase is totally on board. If anything, he's leading the charge.'
Kelsea noted the 'sexiest' thing she found about the Outer Banks star was his willingness to collaborate in their relationship. 'Now my version of love that I've found, it's steady and it's human, and we work on it," she told People. "That, to me, honestly, is the sexiest thing, like, 'Hey, you want to go to therapy? Let's go to therapy.'"
The source confirms, 'He's way more evolved than the average guy and very into self-development, which has been such a blessing for Kelsea.'

5 must-watch movies you can stream for free on Tubi now
The biggest streaming platforms like Netflix and Prime Video often take the headlines, but did you know that, thanks to the best free streaming services, you can stream some incredible movies without having to cough up a monthly fee? One of the best free streamers in the business right now is Tubi. The platform offers hundreds of movies that you can enjoy without a subscription and without even signing up. The only 'price' is having to tolerate a few commercials, and while I'm certainly no fan of ads, the odd break in the action is a small price to watch these excellent flicks for free. However, while Tubi's library is vast, there's quite a lot of bargain-bin or TV-quality fodder in the mix. Nevertheless, there are plenty of Hollywood favorites, and some modern classics as well. That's why I've picked out the five movies you need to watch on Tubi now. Before Christopher Nolan was one of the biggest names in Hollywood, helming a trilogy of Batman movies and turning the life of Robert J. Oppenheimer into one of the most compelling biopics of the 21st century, he crafted a psychological thriller called 'Memento." It seems relatively quaint in comparison to Nolan's grand-scale recent work. However, it's no less gripping, with a truly phenomenal hook and a performance from Guy Pearce that ranks as one of his best roles. A masterclass in non-linear storytelling, 'Memento' offers two separate narrative strands that at first appear confusing and a little contradictory, but by the end join together in a satisfying full-circle moment. Pearce plays Leonard Shelby, a former insurance agent, suffering from amnesia, and on the hunt for the man he believed murdered his wife. To say any more would spoil some of the movie's surprises, but I'll just advise you to watch this one very closely. Watch "Memento" on Tubi now Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Martin Scorsese's 2013 crime comedy reveals in excess, not least of which via the chunky three-hour runtime. But that's sort of the whole point. This lampooning of the Wall Street lifestyle casts a condemning glance over a seedy world where 'enough is never enough.' Frankly, this movie sells itself based on the talent involved with Leonardo DiCaprio in the leading role, and Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie and Matthew McConaughey flanking him in support. With Scorsese behind the camera, no wonder it's considered a modern great. The subject matter is Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio), a real-life former stockbroker who eventually pleaded guilty to fraud and market manipulation after years of illegal activities. The movie follows Belfort from entry-level Wall Street grunt to the leader of his own firm. A trail of debauchery-fueled carnage follows in his wake, and while his rise is swift, his eventual fall comes equally as fast. 'The Wolf of Wall Street' is funny, smart and most of all, supremely entertaining from beginning to end. Watch "The Wolf of Wall Street" on Tubi now Ask somebody on the street to name a war movie, and I would wager there's a very strong chance they will reply 'Saving Private Ryan.' Steven Spielberg's 1998 epic is judged by many to be his magnum opus, which, when you consider his filmography bursting with classics, is extremely high praise indeed. It sets the tone with its devastating opening set on Omaha Beach during the Normandy invasion of June 1944, and from there, it's an often-bleak exploration of the horrors of World War II. But what makes 'Saving Private Ryan' so impressive is that while it showcases the brutality of war, it doesn't forget to give viewers glimpses of hope and humanity. It sees Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) tasked with leading a squad of men behind enemy lines to locate the eponymous Private James Ryan (Matt Damon). Ryan's three brothers have been killed in combat, and the U.S. military determines that, for moral purposes, Ryan must be found and brought home to save his family from more heartbreak. While attempting to find Ryan, the group faces overwhelming odds and huge hardship, but they approach each obstacle with honor and unrelenting courage. Watch "Saving Private Ryan" on Tubi now There's something in those Cronenberg genes because Brandon Cronenberg proved himself to be just as capable of crafting a psychologically riveting sci-fi as his father, the iconic David Cronenberg, with his memorable debut 'Possessor.' This twisty movie will really stay with you, and you'll probably want to watch it more than once just to unravel its many layers. It presents a simple story on the surface, but there's plenty to dig into beyond the basic setup. Plus, the leading performance from Andrea Riseborough is really quite special. 'Possessor' is set in the near future and sees an elite assassin, Tasya Vos (Riseborough), complete various hits for a corporation. The intrigue comes in her method, which involves taking control of other people's bodies to complete the job, but things get complicated when a host fights back against Tasya's invasion of their mind. If you need further convincing, "Possessor" holds a 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Watch "Possessor" on Tubi now If I were judging movies based solely on the quality of their screenplay, then '12 Angry Men' would be almost unrivalled. It packs some of the greatest writing in Hollywood history, and the fact that everything else about it is seriously fantastic is just a very appreciated bonus. Directed by Sidney Lumet, written by Reginald Rose, and starring the legendary Henry Fonda, it's a legal drama so riveting that it challenges even the best thrillers and has more than stood the test of time. Even its themes of societal prejudice and the true nature of justice remain as timely today as they were back in the 1950s. The 12 men in question are the members of a jury in a New York County Courthouse. Their job is to decide the fate of a young 18-year-old boy accused of murdering his father. Convening in the jury chamber, initially, all but one juror (Fonda) is convinced of the boy's guilt, but as they begin to discuss the facts and their theories, each is forced to consider their morals and values, and reasonable doubt begins to creep in. Oh, and I can't talk about '12 Angry Men' without tipping my cap to Lee J. Cobb for his role as Juror No. 13, a man who is the most convinced of the dozen of the boy's guilt.

The BBC has revealed that Ozzy Osbourne's loved ones asked the public service broadcaster to delay a documentary about the late Black Sabbath legend just hours before it was scheduled to air this week.
