Kelsea Ballerini will sadly be spending Valentine's Day without her 'sweet man' Chase Stokes due to conflicting work schedules.
'I'm working, sweet man is working. We are across the world from each other,' the 30-year-old country crooner told ET at the Michael Kors FW/24 presentation in Manhattan Wednesday.
'It's so nice to have a career that we both love, so whenever we're not together, we're still feeding that love tank. [We'll have a] FaceTime date.'
January 7th officially marked the busy couple's one-year anniversary of dating.
'A whole trip around the sun with my bestie. @hichasestokes thanks for making me write love songs,' Kelsea gushed at the time.

And the 31-year-old Outer Banks actor gushed back: 'One year of lovin you. P.S. Told ya I wouldn't embarrass you!'
On January 24, Chase (born James) shared a TikTok from a voiceover booth where he was recording ADR for the fourth season of Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke's hit Netflix teen drama.
Stokes - who plays Pogues ringleader John B. Routledge - still has to act opposite his ex-girlfriend Madelyn Cline despite ending their 17-month romance back in 2021.
'I think they have a beautiful working relationship, and I'm excited to hang with her. I met her and I talked to her, and she's lovely. And I think she's wildly talented,' Ballerini said on the Call Her Daddy podcast in November.
'At the end of the day, I'm a girl's girl. I don't buy into the [nonsense], especially the loud echo chamber of pop culture trying to make a thing out of nothing. I don't feel insecure with my relationship, and I don't feel insecure about myself.'
Meanwhile, the four-time Grammy nominee finalized her divorce from Australian country crooner Morgan Evans in 2022 after four years of marriage.
Kelsea and the 6ft1in heartthrob - who have matching Virgo tattoos - will most likely reunite this Sunday for the 49th People's Choice Awards where they're both nominated for trophies.
Ballerini will compete for female country artist of the year against Gabby Barrett, Ashley McBryde, Megan Moroney, Carly Pearce, Shania Twain, Carrie Underwood, and Lainey Wilson.

'I'm now in a category with people that I have admired my whole career, and people I've tried to model my career after. People that I've looked up to. People that I aspire to work with and it's kind of freaking me out.'
The Maryland native added: 'I'm going to be voting for Pedro Pascal. Really what I'm trying to say is thank you guys for the nomination. I will lose with grace in a company of people that I still feel like a fraud with.'
The Tennessee native is not scheduled to perform live again until June 29 at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX.
