Just yesterday, it was announced that the 37-year-old “If It Wasn’t For Trucks” singer would be joining the cast of Marshals, the exciting new Yellowstone spinoff that follows the new chapter for Kayce Dutton, played by Luke Grimes. In his debut acting role, Green is set to play the part of Garrett, an ex-Navy SEAL who makes his way to the ranch we’ve grown to love. Upon arrival, Garrett hopes to turn to his old friends Kayce and Cal to “put the demons of his past to rest,” reports Variety. “I’m so excited to be joining the cast of Marshals. Being on set with my buddy Luke Grimes made the experience even more memorable,” said the singer in a statement. “This is my first go around in the acting space and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to this world.”

As is the case when a handsome new face breaks out in the scene, people want to know everything there is to know about them—including their relationship status. However, when it comes to Riley Green, his has been the talk of the town. Is he dating fellow country star Ella Langley, who he performed a viral duet with? Or what about Megan Moroney, the blonde beauty taking country music by storm? Here, all about Riley Green and his elusive romantic life ahead of his Marshals debut.

Are Riley Green and Ella Langley dating?

As a solo artist, Green is beloved for songs like “If It Wasn’t for Trucks,” “I Wish Grandpas Never Died,” and “Hell of a Way to Go,” but it was his 2024 duet with fellow country musician Ella Langley that got people talking. Green featured on the song, but it didn’t take long for it to blow up on social media platforms like TikTok and before long, this catchy tune was a hit. If the lyrics and melody weren’t intriguing enough, the pair starred in a music video side by side, and as the track grew in popularity, many were left wondering if there was any truth to the love song they sang together.

“I’m rumored to have dated a lot of people. I kind of understand that. People always long for that Tim and Faith, Johnny and June, George and Tammy thing,” Green recently admitted on Country Nights Live! with Bev Rainey. “Me and Ella have two giant songs together, and I think fans want to believe that what you’re singing about is real.” Though the rumors might not be true, it’s safe to say that this duo has quite a bit of chemistry, and here’s to hoping this isn’t the end of their musical collaborations!

Are Riley Green and Megan Moroney dating?

Fellow country music starlet Megan Moroney has been on the rise for the last several years. Songs like “Hair Salon” and “Tennessee Orange” propelled her early fame on platforms like TikTok and today, her catalog has grown extensively. Perhaps you’ve heard some of her popular songs such as “I’m Not Pretty,” “Sad Songs for Sad People” or “Sleep on My Side,” but in recent months, people seem more concerned about whether or not she’s linked to Riley Green.

Rumors started spreading as early as January 2025, when social media sleuths pieced together the fact that they were both in St. Barthélemy at the same time, and after that, when Megan was pictured wearing the same cowboy hat Riley was later pictured in on social media, that was all fans needed to start chattering. Since then, the duo had been spotted out and about several times, but it was Riley’s social media mishap that confirmed what people had already been led to believe. TikTok user @jocetoomuch shared a video with the caption reading “Can’t even imagine the songs we’re gonna get out of Megan and Riley being in love,” and with Riley Green hitting the like button, that was all we needed to know. So are Megan Moroney and Riley Green dating? While many have speculated, it was in the same interview that the singer debunked his relationship with Ella Langley that he shared his relationship status, stating that he was single—but Megan Moroney’s newly released album has opened up the can of worms yet again.

Today, 28-year-old Megan Moroney released her newest album, Cloud 9. The new record features songs like “6 Months Later” and “Beautiful Things” which were released prior to the album as a whole, but there’s one song in particular that has people buzzing for a very specific reason. “Who Hurt You?,” the 14th track on the album, has listeners wondering who it could be about—and some of the signs are pointing toward Riley. Though the romance—and split—between Megan Moroney and Riley Green was never confirmed, the lyrics of the song paint a clear picture of a love story gone south, and Megan herself even spoke out about the track before its release.

“Like you said, I’m pretty consistently vulnerable, but there’s one song, ‘Who Hurt You?’ that I’m really excited for. Bar for bar, didn’t lie, said everything so that I don’t have to answer interview questions about the situation,” Moroney told Elaina Smith. “Here’s my piece, and there’s no reason to ask me any questions about it because I told you what I needed to say. I’m trying to just be efficient here. I’m like, have you heard the song? Like, there should be no further questions.”

On the track, Moroney sings, “I was blinded by the lies/And the manufactured smile/The devil went down to Georgia/Then he crossed the ‘Bama line,” which many internet sleuths speculated is a direct nod to Green’s home state. She continues later in the song, “I guess I should’ve known/I’d be out here all alone/In the mess you made, it was all just fakе/How did you get so cold?/And no, I wouldn’t take you back/But what makes it all a littlе sad/Is knowing I wasn’t the first/And I know I won’t be the last.”

Whether or not Megan Moroney’s heartbreak anthem is about Riley Green, one thing’s for sure: Both of these talented artists are creating music that resonates with millions of fans. In the meantime, we can’t wait to see him bring his charm to the small screen in Marshals—and we’ll be keeping our ears open for whatever beautiful music comes next from these country stars!
