Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes are proving that sometimes, the simplest things are the key to a thriving relationship! The country music star recently shared an update on their quirky 2025 couple goals, revealing a surprisingly cosy secret to their connection: spending quality time just “laying in bed.”

Back in April, Ballerini playfully told PEOPLE that she and the Outer Banks actor were aiming to be “hotter, funnier, and more ambitious” this year. While ambition and humour are fantastic, it’s clear that relaxation and connection are equally important to the pair.

Ballerini, who recently wrapped up her tour, spoke candidly about the joys of downtime with Stokes. “Touring is amazing, but it's also a lot,” she explained. “Coming home and just being able to… lay in bed with him and watch a movie, or just talk, is the best.”

It's a sentiment that resonates with many couples – the importance of simply *being* together, without the pressure of grand gestures or constant activity. In a world that often glorifies busy schedules and high-octane lifestyles, Ballerini and Stokes are reminding us that sometimes, the most meaningful moments are the quiet ones.

The pair, who confirmed their relationship in late 2023, have been openly affectionate and supportive of each other's careers. Stokes has been spotted cheering Ballerini on at her concerts, and Ballerini has been a vocal supporter of Outer Banks. Their genuine connection is evident, and it's clear that they bring out the best in each other.

This revelation about their ‘laying in bed’ goal is just another charming glimpse into their relationship. It’s a low-key, relatable approach to nurturing a partnership, proving that sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do for your relationship is simply to relax and enjoy each other's company. Who knew achieving couple goals could be so comfortable?

So, what do you reckon? Are Kelsea and Chase onto something? Will you be incorporating some ‘laying in bed’ time into your own relationship?
