Stokes got candid in the caption, writing, "Don't take advantage of the most beautiful things that in 33 years of life are fleeting. Take accountability, learn from mistakes. Lean into love and say it often."
He closed with a reset message ... "2026 my year of growth, my year of truth. Starting here, starting now. Happy new years."
Ballerini also addressed the reconciliation on her Instagram Stories, calling the past year a "messy year for the heart." Still, she made her feelings clear, writing ... "I really love love. I believe in it, I believe in him, and I believe in breaking patterns."
She capped it off with a message to fans ... "Now go kiss your person and stop speculating," adding a kissing emoji.
The couple split in September 2025 after nearly three years together. They first sparked dating rumors in January 2023 after Stokes shared a cozy photo of the two at the Georgia vs. TCU national championship game.
