Megan Moroney Clears The Air On Dating Rumors And Her Current Relationship Status

Megan Moroney’s love life has been a hot topic of conversation since the start of her career. While she’s opened up about it a few times in the past, she recently cleared the air on her current dating status and even set the record straight on the latest set of rumors involving her and Riley Green.

Back in December, fans put Moroney and Green under a microscope as they speculated that the artists were vacationing together in St. Barts. Eager to know more, the online detectives used Google’s AI reverse image search tool on the country stars’ social media respective posts from their hotel rooms as well as their views from the water

“I didn’t even know that was a thing,” Moroney said of the clever detective work.

Of course, the obvious assumption that came out of this research was that the pair had to dropping subtle hints about their secret relationship. However, in a recent episode of the newly launched podcast, In The Blind, Green shut down those rumors, saying he’s “pretty damn” single at the moment.

Moroney has chimed in to officially confirm that fans weren’t wrong about them being in the same vacation destination.

“He was individually on his vacation with his friends,” the singer explained in a new interview with Rolling Stone. “St. Barts is a popular place!”

While she acknowledged they did hang out during their vacation, she emphasized it was purely a coincidence that they ended up in the same place at the same time.

“It’s one of those things where if you know someone on a small island, you’re like, ‘Oh s–t, you’re here too.’ So it was fun,” she added.

The “Am I Okay?” singer then made it clear that sometimes a good time is just that, and nothing more.

“Just because we’re hanging out doesn’t mean we’re romantically dating. You know what I mean?”

Luckily, Moroney doesn’t seem to be too phased by her fans’ commitment to digging around her personal life. In fact, she seems to find their efforts pretty amusing.

“I don’t blame them for doing some FBI research,” she joked.

Not only is the singer not romantically involved with Riley Green, but much like him she is enjoying being single at the moment and has been for the past year. The last relationship fans saw Moroney in was with a “regular finance dude” and lasted nearly a year. Since that ended, she has found herself content being without a partner, especially with how busy she’s been with her career lately.

One of the best perks of being a songwriter is having the outlet to express emotions and untangle trauma from past relationships that didn’t work out in song. Megan Moroney has built a career being vulnerable about aspects of her love life in her music and fans have come to love her for the relatable storytelling that comes out of that.

Plus, she’s not afraid to admit that she has “bad taste” when it comes to men and she teased this could be the theme of a new song that may or may not end up on her next project.

“I could not imagine going through the past year if I was upset and crying over a dude. I feel like I’ve always had bad taste in men. I had a really sweet boyfriend in fifth grade, and I broke up with him because I wanted to date the eighth-grade bad boy who had failed a bunch of times,” she shared. “I don’t know if this song will make my next album, but an opening line is ‘I know how to pick them. Copy, paste.’”

Moroney is getting ready to sing her heart out on her massive AM I OKAY? Tour. This North American headline trek kicks off on March 20 in Montreal and continues with stops at legendary venues like New York City’s Radio City Music Hall (March 26 and 27), Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, and the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
