Ballerini’s statements follow a series of posts by Stokes, 33, on November 20, which hinted at possible relationship troubles. In these posts, Stokes stated, “Don’t believe the media. I’m blocked, I did nothing wrong,” indicating a lack of communication between the two. They are currently not following each other on Instagram.
In a subsequent post, he mentioned, “I’m sorry for those who believed in us,” before concluding with, “It is what it is. Onwards and upwards.”
In September, representatives confirmed that Ballerini and Stokes had parted ways after nearly three years together. At that time, a source noted, “They’re two adults who gave it their all and tried to do everything they could to make it work, but ultimately couldn’t. It happens.”
Earlier this month, the couple was spotted together in Dubrovnik, Croatia, where they were seen holding hands and enjoying each other’s company at a restaurant. An onlooker described them as looking “very cute” as they walked towards the Old Town.
