Morgan Wallen's ex KT Smith denies connection between his arrest and her marriage announcement, wishes him well in statement.

Morgan Wallen's ex KT Smith has spoken out in the wake of the country music star's recent arrest in Nashville. Following Wallen's arrest for throwing a chair off a six-story roof on April 7, Smith, who recently announced her marriage to Luke Scornavacco, has denied any connection between the incident and her new relationship status.

In a statement to the Daily Beast on April 9, Smith emphasized that while the timing may seem suspicious, she has no reason to believe that Wallen's arrest had anything to do with her recent marriage announcement. She expressed her well wishes for Wallen, stating, "I cannot speak on Morgan's behalf, but I do pray the very best for him. Praying that this was just a slip up and that he will return to the good path that he was on prior."

Smith and Wallen had been in a relationship since 2016 and were engaged for a period before eventually calling it off. They share a 3-year-old son named Indigo. Smith's marriage announcement on April 3 came just days after she and Scornavacco got engaged, with a series of photos on social media revealing the surprise marriage.

Following Wallen's arrest, he was taken into custody by Nashville police on three counts of felony reckless endangerment and one count of misdemeanor disorderly conduct. He was released on bond in the early hours of the morning. Witnesses reported seeing Wallen throw the chair from above a bar, with security staff identifying him as the culprit.

Wallen is scheduled to appear in court on May 3, and his attorney has stated that he is fully cooperating with authorities. The incident has caused a stir in the country music community, with fans and industry insiders expressing concern for Wallen's well-being and future. The situation remains fluid as more details emerge.
