Kelsea Ballerini recently shared some new photos featuring her sexy outfits, as well as her boyfriend, Chase Stokes.

The country pop singer, 30, took to Instagram to post a series of snaps of herself looking scantily clad in racy looks as she posed on the cover of Nylon's 2023 It Girl issue.

Her posts also featured her boyfriend, the Outer Banks actor, 31, and even received a comment from his ex-girlfriend, Madelyn Cline, 25.

As seen on the magazine cover and in her social media posts, Ballerini sported a white crop top teamed with sparkly pink bikini bottoms.

She also wore a mauve pink cowgirl hat, which looked nearly identical to her Barbie-inspired Halloween costume.

In the interview published last week, she touched on being married to Morgan Evans and their divorce, which was finalized almost exactly a year ago. 

'This time last year, my life felt very out of control,' she admitted. 'A bit messy.' 

Ballerini and the Australian singer–songwriter, 38, were married for nearly five years before they called it quits. 

'I just felt in the weeds in a lot of things,' she recalled before adding that, despite it all, she has no regrets. 

'I can truly, from my guts, say I regret literally nothing,' she said. 'I really don't.' 

She also told the outlet about making the first move on her now-boyfriend as well as planning their first date, but then just ending up meeting for the first time at a friend's birthday party.

She recalled: 'I was at a bar in Nashville with some friends from Charleston [where Outer Banks films], and they were like, "What about Chase?"'

She explained that she followed him on Instagram, and he quickly followed her back.

Instead of waiting for him to reach out first, she said she went ahead and made the first move by sending him a flirty DM.

'I was just like, "Why am I waiting for this guy to reach out to me? This is 2022."'

Last month, she shared the message on Instagram in celebration of Stokes' 31st birthday, which revealed she simply wrote 'hiii chase stokes' and sent it at 1:07 a.m.

'Bro, I know,' she said, laughing about it now. 'Listen, I was living my best life. I have no shame in that game.' 

After messaging back and forth for a bit, they planned their first date for a few weeks later when they would both be in Los Angeles.

Ballerini explained that she was only in town for three days and they had planned to meet for their date on her second day.

However, she messaged him on the first day, and they ended up speeding up their meet-up out of excitement.

'Day one I was playing a birthday party for a friend of mine, but I got there and was like, "It's kind of crazy that we're finally in the same town and I'm not seeing you today",' she recalled.

'He was like, "Drop your pin." He just showed up at this party and yeah, it was great,' she continued.

'I really did [know] as soon as I met him,' she explained. 'And maybe that sounds like I've learned zero things, but I've always been a heart-first girl and the truth is it's never led me astray. 

'I've always been where I needed to be while I needed to be there,' she added.

Most recently, she posted a photo dump on Monday and shared pictures of herself filming a new music video, getting a tattoo, and attending a football game with her boyfriend.
