Morgan Wallen’s ex-fiancée, KT Smith, joined Bunnie Xo on a recent episode of Dumb Blonde, and spoke about her relationship with the now-reigning Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year.
Smith met Wallen in 2016 — two years after he appeared on The Voice — and at that time, “I didn’t know who he was.” She recalled the country star inviting her to a small show he was playing, and admitted that the evening “did not go expected” when they went to a bar together afterward. Smith said “he was not thrilled that I wouldn’t go home with him,” but she received apology texts afterward and agreed to try again. The romance got “pretty serious,” and she “thought he hung the moon and stars.” Wallen popped the question with a simple proposal in Knoxville, Tennessee. Smith said the engagement didn’t last long, but they stayed together despite issues in the relationship amid Wallen’s rise in fame, including cheating rumors.
“I was very much in love with him,” Smith said. “He’s grown as a person now and I respect him more now than I ever have. His life is extremely private, but what people don’t see is that he has grown tremendously. I respect him so much as a person, and he’s a great dad and he lives a great life that’s private and he can still do what he does while keeping it private. And I think that’s great. And I love that he’s had that radical change. And it wasn’t with me, but that’s OK. He’s a good dad and we can co-parent well.”
Bunnie Xo asked whether there’s a chance for Smith and Wallen to rekindle their romance someday?
“Absolutely not,” Smith said. “No.”
However, she said the two of them remain friends and co-parents to son Indigo Wilder, 4. Smith also spoke with Bunnie Xo about the couple’s toxic cycles int heir on-again, off-again relationship, how she told Wallen about the pregnancy (and why it “went to crap” from there), the moment Wallen met his then-newborn son, the adjustment to the spotlight when Wallen revealed he and Smith welcomed a baby, and more. “We get along really well, we co-parent really well. Like I said, he’s a great person. I respect him with everything,” she said.
Bunnie Xo said “if you've heard a rumor about (Smith), she’s clearing it up right here,” as she teased the Dumb Blonde episode. “KT opens up about her whirlwind engagement to Morgan Wallen, the cheating rumors, and what co-parenting in the spotlight is really like. She also sets the record straight on her marriage (and split) from Luke Scornavacco, plus all the internet drama that came with it. KT gets real about the viral car accident with Caden McGuire, her rise on social media, the story of how she got saved and found Jesus, and why she’s stepping into her soft girl era.” Find the Dumb Blonde episode on iHeartRadio here.
