Kelsea Ballerini is prioritizing her well-being following her recent split from actor Chase Stokes.
The Heart first The 32-year-old singer offered fans a glimpse into her post-split life, sharing an Instagram carousel on October 28 that highlighted her focus on self-care and mental health.
The photos showed Ballerini sharing a sweet moment with a fan during a live performance, decorating pumpkins with friends, taking a mirror selfie wearing a face mask, enjoying a picnic in the park with her dog Dibs and relaxing on a cozy couch.
She captioned the post: “Powered by hot dogs, porch painting, bed at 9pm, friendship, parks, Kenny Chesney and lexapro.”
Lexapro, a prescription antidepressant used to treat depression and anxiety, subtly alluded to Ballerini’s continued commitment to taking care of her mental health.
Although she has not publicly discussed depression or anxiety, Ballerini has been open about and shared her experiences with therapy People magazine earlier this year that “it has been a game changer.”
She added: “There is still a stigma around talking about certain things, and the way you remove that stigma is by creating a conversation.”
Since her split from Stokes in September after nearly three years together, Ballerini has maintained her focus on healing and privacy.
Following news of their breakup, she tackled online speculation with a powerful message on TikTok: “CC: Speculators, ‘sources’ and hidden cameras outside the salon. Let’s leave alone. Please.”
