Introduction
The rumor mill has been working overtime this past weekend as country music fans continue to speculate about the romantic entanglements of Riley Green, Megan Moroney, and Ella Langley. Recent on-stage antics from both Moroney and Langley suggest they’re keen to set the record straight, implying that neither of them is currently dating Green.
Langley’s Subtle Nod to Fan Speculation
During a recent stop on Green’s Damn Country Music Tour, opening act Ella Langley seemed to subtly acknowledge the ongoing rumors. As she performed, a fan held up a phone displaying the bold message, “Wink if Riley’s a DumbA–.” Without missing a beat, Langley reportedly incorporated an exaggerated wink into her performance, then continued her set as if nothing happened. This understated yet pointed gesture has fans convinced she was signaling her current feelings about Green.
Moroney’s Direct Message to a Fan
Just a day later, Megan Moroney had an even more direct exchange with a concertgoer. Spotting a fan in a “Hoochie Daddy” shirt featuring a shirtless Green, Moroney reportedly leaned away from the microphone and yelled something into the crowd. While it was difficult to fully decipher, the fan later claimed on TikTok that Moroney exclaimed, “He f–ked up.” This highly publicized moment has been interpreted by many as Moroney confirming a past relationship with Green that has since ended.
A Shifting Narrative: From “Need the Shirt” to “He F–ked Up”
Moroney’s recent comment marks a significant shift from her previous response to the same “Hoochie Daddy” shirt. Just weeks ago, Moroney commented “Need the shirt” on a TikTok video featuring the apparel, leading many fans to believe she was confirming a relationship with Green. This earlier comment came after months of intense speculation, fueled by alleged joint vacations and social media sightings in late 2024 and early 2025. Fans even shared photos appearing to show Green and Moroney together in his Alabama hometown after the 2025 ACM Awards, further fanning the flames.
Lingering Questions Around Langley and Green’s Connection
The rumors surrounding Langley and Green date back to their first duet, “You Look Like You Love Me.” Despite Green’s past playful denial that Langley was “too smart” to date him, and both artists publicly denying a romantic link, speculation intensified after their second collaboration, “Don’t Mind if I Do.” While a video of what some thought was a kiss turned out to be a quick peck on the cheek, recent performances, including at the 2025 ACM Awards, have led fans to observe a change in their on-stage chemistry, with some theorizing a “failed situationship.” Langley’s recent TikTok video of herself singing along to Kaitlin Butts’ “You Ain’t Gotta Die (To Be Dead to Me)” while cooking has also been widely interpreted as a coded message about her feelings toward Green.
