Playing it coy.

The other day, Megan Moroney sent fans online into a frenzy after she left a comment on a TikTok video where a girl is listening to an unreleased song Megan teased the other day, while wearing a shirt with Riley on a boat shirtless:

Megan left a comment saying:

“Need the shirt.”

Of course, Megan and Riley Green have been at the center of dating rumors for the last several months, and fans have also accused Riley and duet partner Ella Langley of being a couple after their hit duet “You Look Like You Love Me,” came out… so it’s just been all over the place.

The rumors about Megan and Riley started after both of them left some vacation breadcrumbs where they were seemingly together. Moroney confirmed they happened to be on vacation in the same place, but also shut down the thought that they were seeing each other in a romantic capacity.

“He was individually on his vacation with his friends. St. Barts is a popular place! It’s one of those things where if you know someone on a small island, you’re like, ‘Oh, sh*t, you’re here too.’ So it was fun. Just because we’re hanging out doesn’t mean we’re romantically dating. You know what I mean?”

They have had the rumor mill GOING since then, and have been spotted in his hometown of Jacksonville, Alabama, and at different airports together here and there, though publicly, the two have consistently denied that they’re an official couple.

Yesterday, during a radio interview on Country Nights Live with Bev Rainey yesterday, Riley was asked about some of the biggest rumors he’s seen about himself on social media. He of course mentioned all the rumors about his dating life, and also laughed about how the status of his signature mustache is a hot topic, too:

“I find out who I’m dating weekly, you know, on social media. That’s a pretty big on there. But I think a lot of stuff I see is so outlandish that it keeps me humble a little bit, then don’t have to worry about. I’m like, okay, don’t say anything on there. It’s interesting. how things like shaving your mustache can become viral now, I never thought that would be a thing.”

Rainey straight up asked Riley if he was dating anyone since he mentioned it in the previous response, and it’s the question everyone wants an answer to… Riley once again confirmed that he’s “not” dating anyone right now, though he’s “rumored to have dated a lot of people.” He explained, like he has before, that with Ella in particular, fans want to believe that the songs are so real to the artists true lives, similar to country power couples like Tim and Faith and Johnny and June, which he understands.

He didn’t mention or allude to the Megan rumors, but he did straight up say he’s single… so there you have it, ladies:

“I’m not, no. I’m rumored to have dated a lot of people… but I kind of understand that. You know, people always long for that like Tim and Faith, Johnny and June, you know, George and Tammy thing.

So you know, you know me and Ella have two giant songs together and I think fans kinda wanna believe that what you’re singing about is real, and follow those lyrics and think there’s a story there. So I can comprehend people that are thinking there’s something going on. But for me, I’m just glad that we’re having success together, and so proud of her, and really lucky that we’re on tour together with two big songs at the same time.”

But in an interview with Entertainment Tonight at her new pop up bar The Emo Cowgirl, which is at the L27 Rooftop Lounge at The Westin Nashville, Megan was asked if she confirmed that she and Riley were a couple. She was very vague with her response, saying that she just “wanted the T-shirt,” and hopes to be “getting it soon”:

“I said I wanted the T-shirt. Hopefully I’ll be getting it soon. Maybe that girl will send me hers.”

I mean, it’s a cool shirt, but I think fans are looking for a straight yes or no response here.

But they definitely gave very different answers, so either they want to keep the rumors going (because there really is no such thing as bad press when it comes to things like this… keep that in mind), or they might wanna have that really fun “what are we” conversation sometime soon…

In the meantime, Megan will continue to perform songs for the speculating “a**holes on the internet.”
