After the actor confirmed that he was dating the songwriter, Jones referred to the performer and the hitmaker as 'a beautiful couple.'
The pair were first spotted in each other's company during a football game that took place this past January.
The actor was previously in a relationship with his Outer Banks costar Madelyn Cline.
The former couple began seeing each other during the summer of 2020 and remained together until their breakup, which occurred the following October.
Ballerini was formerly married to fellow country artist Morgan Evans, with whom she tied the knot in December of 2017.
The pair remained together for nearly five years before they dissolved their union this past November.
The singer revealed during an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she subsequently reached out to Stokes through his Instagram account.
Ballerini expressed that, although she was unfamiliar with the actor's work, she was enthusiastic about the prospect of being introduced to him.
