KT Smith has announced her separation from Luke Scornavacco after just nine months of marriage, citing the need for personal growth and separation to focus on their individual journeys.
Smith, who gained recognition as the ex-fiancée of country singer Morgan Wallen, shared this emotional update with her nearly 500,000 followers via her Instagram story on January 14. She expressed the difficulty of the announcement, particularly considering how many fans had closely followed her relationship with Scornavacco.
“I wanted to give you an update... especially since we’ve both been hounded with questions. And that's totally understandable,” Smith wrote. “Luke and I have decided to separate.”
She reassured followers by saying, “We won’t be sharing about it, because there truly isn’t much to share.” Determined to maintain privacy, KT emphasized their decision was mutual and focused on doing what was best for them and their four-year-old son, Indigo, whom she shares with Wallen.
The influencer, now 30 years old, made it clear there is no animosity between them, stating, “There’s nothing but love on both sides,” and added, “We just haven’t worked out in a long time.” This separation marks another chapter in Smith's life, following her tumultuous relationship history with Wallen, including their on-and-off romance from December 2016 until their split finalized in late 2019.
Smith and Scornavacco were initially celebrated for their whirlwind romance after announcing their engagement on March 29, 2024. They exchanged vows just five days later on April 3, 2024, raising eyebrows over the rapid timeline. Facing rumors of having a rushed wedding due to potential pregnancy, KT firmly denied such speculation by posting on Instagram with the evidence of her non-pregnant status.
Before Scornavacco, Wallen was known for his tumultuous relationships, including public incidents and lamentations over lost love, especially following their breakup. Despite the past, KT’s focus remains on the future and on caring for Indigo, which she emphasized when declaring her commitment to being the best version of herself for her son.
Fans started speculating about the couple’s relationship after noticing Smith's recent posts absent of Scornavacco, which raised questions about their status. Their last joint appearance on social media was back in October 2024, fueling curiosity among followers about their lack of public interactions since then.
Media outlets provided insights surrounding their separation, including reference to the couple's previous joyful moments shared on social platforms contrasted with their quiet status. Also highlighted was the notion of Smith and Scornavacco supporting one another from afar during this challenging period.
Interestingly, as Smith heads back to being single, Wallen has reportedly moved on, being linked recently with influencers and other public figures. Smith, reflecting on her past with Wallen, was quick to distance herself from any suggestion of their previous relationship impacting her marriage or its demise. She mentioned, “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.”
News of Smith's separation has not gone unnoticed, reflecting the ever-watchful eye of fans on their beloved celebrities, especially those tied to significant figures like Wallen. It paints the emotional complexity faced by public figures trying to navigate personal lives under public scrutiny.
Moving forward, KT appears committed to focusing on her own growth and ensuring Indigo’s well-being amid this transition. With fans anxiously waiting for updates from her, it remains to be seen how she’ll embrace the coming chapters and where this path leads her and her family.
