"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," an insider told People.

View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @hichasestokes "although you keep saying you're not excited for 32, id say I'm lookin forward to more of this," the Outer Banks star captioned the 12-picture photodump, which remains live on his account. "happy birthday my love ❤️" Naturally, the sequence of events has raised a lot of eyebrows online, and fans are dying to figure out what may have happened behind closed doors. And now, with all eyes on Kelsea, the singer has taken the social media to share a very pointed message. Kevin Mazur / Getty Images On Sept. 23, she posted a cryptic TikTok video of herself pointing at the camera and sipping her drink while vibing out to the chorus of Ariana Grande's 2020 song, "shut up," which, if you aren't familiar, goes: "Maybe you should shut up." @kelseaballerini / Via tiktok.com If the shady song wasn't enough, Kelsea made her thoughts clear in the caption. "cc: speculators, 'sources', and hidden cameras outside the hair salon. let us be. please. ❤️🩹," she wrote. You can watch the clip here. @kelseaballerini / Via tiktok.com If you're wondering what the hidden cameras part is referring to, some pictures were released on Sept. 21 showing Kelsea leaving a salon in Nashville, marking the first time she was seen in public since the breakup news broke. In the comments section, fans are sending Kelsea their support and well-wishes. As it stands, Chase has not explicitly addressed the breakup, but we'll be sure to let you know if he does.
