Morgan Wallen Relationship History
Before Paige Lorenze, the singer Morgan Wallen was reportedly in a relationship with Katie Smith since 2017. They were spotted attending the CMT Award ceremony together in 2017. They were also engaged and surprised fans with the news of their first child's arrival in 2020. However, the couple broke up before their child was born.
His ex-fiancee, Kati Smith, is an Instagram influencer and has a blog titled Thot Thoughts. She is also quite religious and posts God-related posts. She lives in Nashville, Tenn, and co-parents their child together with Morgan Wallen. The former couple welcomed their son, Wilder Wallen, on 10 July 2020.
Morgan Wallen has talked about how he wanted to raise his child with a family like his parents, who are still together, so he shared that he struggled a little bit at first. The singer had also announced on his Instagram during the arrival of his son, writing that being a dad was the coolest feeling and that she was ready for whatever God planned for them.
The singer also felt thankful to share his son with someone he cares about. He said, "a lot of people obviously have been in this situation before - having a kid with someone you're not - but knowing that doesn't make it any easier." He noted how through all the difficulties, the most important thing was that their son is in their life all happy and healthy. He said, "He's incredible."
Morgan had also promised to his son that he would be the dad his son deserved and a co-parent that his ex-fiancee deserved. He wrote, "I promise I'll always protect you, and do my best to be an example of a good godly man just like my daddy was for me."
Net Worth Of Morgan Wallen
Morgan Wallen has a net worth of around $4 million. He began his career after competing in a singing competition, The Voice, where he was able to build connections and a fanbase. He also signed a record deal and released an EP called Stand Alone. Then he signed a new record deal with Bog Loud Records.
His debut studio album, If I Know Me, was released in 2018, and one of the successful tracks was Whiskey Glass. Some of his hit singles are The Way I Talk, You Make It Easy, Up Down, More Than My Hometown, 7 Summers, and more. His next album, entitled Dangerous: The Double Album, was released in 2020.
But, the singer was caught up in some controversies over the last years when he got arrested outside of Kid Rock's bar in Nashville, being heavily intoxicated. He was charged with disorderly conduct in 2020. Morgan then got caught not following Covid-19 protocols of wearing masks and respecting social distancing guidelines. His performance in Saturday Night Live also got canceled because of that.
Moreover, in January, the singer was captured using the N-word with friends in his Nashville driveway, and the clip of that incident went viral over social media. Soon enough, his music was removed from radio networks, and his label contract was also suspended. His latest album also became ineligible for multiple country music awards. The singer himself uploaded an apology video where he admitted his wrongdoing actions.
In his apology video, Morgan confessed that he felt pretty nervous when he got invited to Black organizations to have educational conversations.
The singer further expressed that he was fully ready to accept any penalties he was facing, so he urged his fans to stop defending him. He concluded his video by saying that he will be going off the grid for a while to improve his decision-making and his actions. His apology video got support from fellow country singer Jimmie Allen who comes from the Black community, writing, "Love you, bro. I'm here for you always. Praying for you."
After a year, Morgan's career is back on track as he is set to kick off a U.S. arena tour in Evansville, Indiana, on 3 February 2022. His Dangerous tour is set to be one of this year's biggest successes happening in Southern markets like Nashville, Atlanta, and Orange Beach, Alabama, and it is said that he has already sold out two nights at Madison Square Garden.
