Grammy-nominated country singer Kelsea Ballerini has touched down in Australia, ready to launch her highly anticipated national tour this weekend. The American star was photographed arriving at Sydney Airport on Wednesday, appearing fresh and relaxed after her long-haul flight.
Airport Arrival in Casual Style
The 32-year-old hitmaker offered a warm smile and a peace sign to onlookers as she made her way through the terminal. Ballerini opted for a comfortable yet stylish travel outfit, sporting a green hoodie and matching sweatpants from the US brand Tribe. She accessorised with a headband, gold hoop earrings, and a pair of oversized boutique sunglasses.
Her curly hair fell loosely over her shoulders, and she appeared to be wearing little to no makeup. Completing the look with sneakers, Ballerini carried a large carry-on case over one shoulder and held a dark jacket over her arm, while gripping her phone tightly. She was swiftly escorted to a waiting car.
Romance Rumours and Recent Splits
The arrival comes amid continued speculation about Ballerini's personal life, particularly her connection to fellow country superstar Keith Urban. Reports emerged back in September suggesting the pair had grown close following Urban's separation from his ex-wife, actress Nicole Kidman.
An insider told Woman’s Day at the time that while Urban was working with another artist, he remained "very close" to Ballerini, who was also newly single. The publication noted the two have "crossed paths frequently over the years and maintained a supportive friendship," with Ballerini recently becoming a "reliable shoulder to cry on," though romance has not yet blossomed.
Ballerini's own relationship history is also in the spotlight. She split from Outer Banks actor Chase Stokes in September after nearly three years together, briefly reunited, then parted ways again last month. She was previously married to Australian country star Morgan Evans, with their divorce finalised in 2022.
Tour Kick-off and Parallel Travel
As Ballerini begins her Australian tour, Keith Urban was spotted on a separate continent. He was photographed arriving in Los Angeles on Tuesday, dressed casually in a T-shirt, bomber jacket, and track pants, looking relaxed after his flight.
Urban and Kidman's separation was confirmed in late September, with the actress filing for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. Sources indicated the split was a long-term development, stemming from months of quiet separation and diverging work commitments.
All eyes are now on Ballerini as she prepares to take the stage across Australia, with fans eager for both her musical performances and any glimpses into her life down under.
