Morgan Wallen’s Ex KT Smith Reacts to His Arrest: ‘Praying This Was Just a Slip-Up’
Morgan Wallen‘s ex- fiancée, KT Smith, is putting the talk about his latest arrest being tied to her recent marriage to rest.
On Tuesday, Smith released a statement to ET, wishing her ex the best.
“Although it may seem like it correlates because of the timeline, I have no evidence to believe the incident had anything to do with the recent marriage announcement,” she wrote. “I cannot speak on Morgan’s behalf, but I do pray the very best for him. Praying this was just a slip-up and that he will return to the good path that he was on prior.”
On Sunday, the “Wasted on You” singer was arrested in Nashville, Tennessee, after allegedly throwing a chair from the sixth floor rooftop of a bar. Wallen’s lawyer confirmed the news in a statement to ET.
“At 10:53 p.m. Sunday evening, Morgan Wallen was arrested in downtown Nashville for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct,” a statement from attorney Worrick Robinson read. “He is cooperating fully with authorities.”
Wallen has yet to speak out. Prior to his recent arrest, Wallen was arrested in Nashville for public intoxication, after being kicked out of a bar in 2020. The “Cowgirls” singer also received backlash in 2021, after he used a racial slur. The singer apologized for the incident.
Following the news of his arrest, fans began to speculate if the incident was a reaction to Smith’s recent surprise engagement and wedding news.
On March 30, the influencer shared that she and boyfriend Luke Scornavacco got engaged the day prior with a post documenting the moment that Scornavacco popped the question, and then another of her posing with her new fiancé, and her 3-year-old son, Indigo — whom she shares with Wallen.
“03/29/24: when dreams turned to reality ✨,” she wrote. “also, shoutout @brilliantearth for leveling up what we ever thought a dream ring could be 🫶🏼.”
On April 3, Smith revealed that she and Scornavacco tied the knot and obtained a marriage certificate.
“Swipe for a surprise 🤎🌼,” the social media influencer wrote next to a series of photos of her and Indigo posing alongside Scornavacco before the final image reveals a picture of the couple posing while holding up a marriage license.
Wallen and Smith began dating in 2016. The pair announced their engagement just months later. They eventually broke off their engagement and dated on and off until sometime in 2020 after welcoming their son.
