As compatible as the pair seems, Ella has confirmed that she and Riley are not actually an item. “Riley was probably the first famous person I ever met,” Langley said Taste of the country in a red carpet interview. “He played the same bars I went to, and I played the same bars he did. It’s cool to see the people from Alabama winning!”

Nevertheless, it is platonic. “We are not dating,” Ella confirmed to the outlet. “We’re just good friends.”

Okay, so is Riley Green single then?

It seems so! Although there have been rumors that the “There Was This Girl” singer is dating Make Wake Artists artist manager Sophia Sansone and singer-songwriter Jessica Lynn, it was just that: rumors. As it stands, Riley has not mumbled about a partner, nor has he been seen publicly with any potential love interests.

Who was he seen with? His mother! As you may have noticed, he was sitting next to his mother in the audience when he got up to join Ella on stage for their performance. She even put his hat on for him!

He’s also never one to shy away from showing off his pup, Carl, to the public. He’s so in love with his cowboy corgi that he has an entire Instagram dedicated to him, not to mention numerous shoutouts on his own feed. We’d love to see it! And you know what they say: dogs are the best judges of character and according to Carl, Riley must be pretty awesome IRL.
