Rumors have been swirling for years that the country music stars Megan Moroney and Morgan Wallen were dating at one point. Now, Moroney has finally addressed these rumors for the first time.
Moroney Addresses Wallen Dating Rumors
While appearing on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Moroney revealed that she and Wallen did in fact date. However, they never got serious and are no longer together.
What a shame!
“It was never a relationship,” explained Moroney, 26. “Here’s what I’ll tell you though, because I haven’t told anyone this ever. [He] and I met in 2020. [Fellow country artist] Jon Langston actually introduced us. I was a senior in college – COVID hadn’t happened yet, his ‘Dangerous’ album wasn’t even out yet. So, we were friends for a long time.”
“We were friends for a long time. We were not just friends. And now we’re friends,” she added.
Moroney went on to say that she has avoided questions about her connection with Wallen, 31, in prior interviews.
“But we’re here now and time has passed and all is well,” she added.
Moroney admitted that “because he’s such a private person, it just feels awkward talking about it.”

Speculation About Wallen And Moroney
Fans have been speculating about Wallen and Moroney potentially dating ever since she released her song “Tennessee Orange” last year. The song includes references to the University of Tennessee football team, the Tennessee Volunteers, or Vols, who Wallen has been a fan of for many years.
When asked directly if “Tennessee Orange” is about Wallen in her latest interview, Moroney replied, “I will not say who I sing my songs about ever.”
Dear reader, that question is left up to you!
Wallen and Moroney began commenting on one another’s Instagram posts after the song came out. Speculation about them being in a relationship only mounted when Wallen released his song “Tennessee Fan.” The song tells the story of a girl who meets a guy and gets converted into a Tennessee Vols fan.

Moroney Is Focused On Her Music
This comes after Moroney told Fox News that she doesn’t “really have time for a relationship” at the moment because she is so focused on her music.
“I think because I’m not emotionally available, like, I am not ready to find someone that I want to marry right now, because that’s just not in even the top 10 things in my brain right now,” she stated. “So, it’s just like, let’s not waste anyone’s time. Let’s just not date right now because there’s that point.”
Wallen and Moroney are each known to typically stay private about their relationships. However, they have both recently confirmed that they are each currently single.
