After meeting on Snapchat in 2016, Morgan Wallen and Katie “KT” Smith started dating and were briefly engaged before welcoming their son, Indigo, in July 2020. Despite their tumultuous relationship, they tried co-parenting but faced challenges in the beginning. However, they eventually found a way to raise their son together. Wallen admitted that co-parenting without being in a relationship was not what he had envisioned for parenthood, while Smith described the experience as being extremely difficult initially due to lingering bitterness but ultimately found peace in raising their child full-time.
Smith, who hails from Florida and has two half-brothers, prioritizes her faith and began engaging in mission trips and youth group activities at a young age. She joined Young Life, a Christian ministry, and recounted overcoming a difficult experience with her former youth pastor in her blog. Smith has gained a social media following, working as a social media influencer, and partnered with numerous brands, focusing on parenting, fashion, and lifestyle. She expressed her desire to use her platform for God’s glory and sharing His word.
Following her split from Wallen in 2019, Smith announced her relationship with Luke Scornavacco in 2023 on social media. The couple got engaged in March 2024 and tied the knot in Tennessee shortly after. Despite speculation that they eloped due to a pregnancy, Smith clarified that this was not the case. Their engagement came as a surprise to some, as Smith had previously been in a longtime on-and-off relationship with Wallen.
Wallen’s reaction to Smith’s engagement involved an incident that led to his arrest in April 2024. He was accused of throwing a chair from a rooftop bar nearly hitting two police officers on the street below. Wallen was charged with reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct. It was reported that he was allegedly upset upon learning about Smith’s wedding to Scornavacco, with sources indicating that Wallen had never truly moved on from Smith despite not being faithful to her during their relationship.
Smith had described her relationship with Wallen as toxic and full of trauma bonding, finally ending things for good in 2019. Despite the challenges they faced, both have tried to navigate co-parenting and focus on raising their son together. Wallen has expressed his struggles with the situation, while Smith has maintained that they can successfully co-parent without being in a romantic relationship. Their journey from a tumultuous relationship to co-parenting has seen ups and downs, ultimately leading them to a better understanding of their roles in their son’s life.
Since breaking up with Wallen, Smith has successfully built a career as a social media influencer and shared insights into her faith and experiences through her blog. She highlights her dedication to her son and her desire to use her platform for positive purposes. Despite facing challenges along the way, Smith has embraced her newfound role as a mother and influencer while staying grounded in her faith and commitment to sharing her story with her followers.
