Morgan Wallen’s ex and the mother of his son, Katie “KT” Smith, is back on the market.
The social media influencer announced via her Instagram Story Wednesday to her nearly 500,000 followers that she and husband Luke Scornavacco have called it quits after just nine months of marriage.
“As difficult as it is to share this, i know that a lot of you guys have been invested in our relationship since we used to post together a lot at the beginning of our relationship,” she wrote.
“I wanted to give you an update.. especially since we’ve both been hounded with questions. and that’s totally understandable. Luke and I have decided to separate.”
Smith, 30, then pointed out that she would be keeping private the details behind their split.
“We won’t be sharing about it, because there truly isn’t much to share. we both have to do what’s best for us, as well as indigo, while he’s still as young as he is,” she added, referencing her 4-year-old son with Wallen, 31.
Smith insisted that there is “nothing but love on both sides” because they haven’t done anything “wrong.”
“We just haven’t worked out in a while, and we both need to be the best version of ourselves,” she continued, noting that they will still be “rooting each other on from a distance.”
It seems that Smith and Scornavacco last appeared on each other’s social media profiles around last October. It’s unclear what took place since then but fans had been asking about their lack of joint content.
“Why is he NOT in her videos anymore 🤔,” one person pondered in November 2024, to which another follower finally replied on Wednesday, “They are separating.”
Smith and Scornavacco did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment on the split.
The former couple tied the knot last April just five days after Scornavacco popped the question.
Smith shut down any speculation at the time that they had a shotgun wedding because she was pregnant.
The content creators had been together for less than a year when they wed. They went public with their relationship in May 2023.
Smith rose to prominence following her relationship with Wallen, which was off and on from December 2016 to November 2019.
The breakup was reportedly rough on the country crooner, with sources claiming Wallen’s April 2024 arrest for throwing a chair over a bar balcony was due to him being upset over Smith moving on.
“KT’s marriage to Luke [Scornavacco] last week just crushed him,” an insider previously told the Daily Mail. “Whatever happened at that bar had to be reality hitting him in the face over losing the love of his life.”
Smith, however, downplayed the fact that her engagement played a part in her ex’s legal issues.
“Although it may seem like it correlates because of the timeline, I have no evidence to believe the incident had anything to do with the recent marriage announcement,” she told the Daily Beast at the time.
“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.”
