“I must be blind, anyone else”: Fans ‘caught’ Riley Green kissing Ella Langley in front of the cameras
Despite the rumors, both singers insist they are nothing more than friends. But that hasn’t stopped eagle-eyed social media users from trying to find relationship receipts, and a recent video could be the match that lights the flame again.
It’s a brief clip from The American Rodeo in Arlington, Texas, where both Green and Langley performed on April 12.
In it we see Green wrap up his set and walk backstage. It’s hard to tell, but he leans over to hug or kiss someone who is blocked from the camera’s view by some of the stage equipment. Immediately after this interaction, Langley appears from that spot and the two leave the stage area completely.
Fans believe that this interaction was between the two singers, and that the interaction in question was indeed a quick kiss.
A romantic kiss? Well, the jury is still out on that one.
What do you think? Did Green lay a big smooch on Langley?
Fans Weigh in on Video of Riley Green Kissing Ella Langley
The comments on the video are pretty divided, with some saying it’s impossible to tell what happened since it was off-screen, while others are sold on the theory of a romantic encounter between Langley and Green.
Some believe it was a kiss, but not a serious one. Here are some of the comments:
“I must be blind, anyone else.”
“Is the kiss in the room with us?”
“That’s just an aftershow ‘Well done.’ We all do that!”
“We need a close up. Head tilt doesn’t count. Lips on lips.”
“And why not. They’d make a great couple.”
“Friendly smooch.”
Are Riley Green and Ella Langley Dating?
Both country artists deny there is anything romantic going on between the two of them.
“We’re not dating. We’re just good friends,” Langley told Taste of Country at the CMA Awards in November.
“Riley was probably the first famous person I ever met,” she explained. “He was playing all the same bars I went to and I played the same bars as him. It’s cool to see Alabama people winning!”
Green also confirmed the two are just friends while speaking to Nick Viall on The Viall Files podcast.
“Yeah, I mean, Ella’s probably too smart to date me anyway,” he quipped.
“When we first started having the success that we did with that song [“You Look Like You Love Me”], I told Ella, I was like, ‘There’s gonna be a lot of things said, but we don’t really got to play into it or not play into it,” he recalled.
Green and Ella also recorded a second duet called “Don’t Mind If I Do.” The pair sing both songs live together on the road as a part of Green’s Damn Country Music Tour. Langley is serving as direct support — likely why they were on this rodeo bill together, as well.
18 Celebrity Country Couples You Probably Forgot About
Carrie Underwood is a part of this list, twice! So too is Keith Urban, Brad Paisley and Dwight Yoakam. See all the celebrity country couples that once were, until they broke up.
Carrie Underwood and Tony Romo

Carrie Underwood and Tony Romo
Underwood and former Dallas Cowboys football quarterback dated in early 2007, but split up by mid-fall. Underwood would later tell Esquire that he was very into football, not so much her. He wasn’t even good for a song! When asked if “Cowboy Casanova” was about him, she said, “No. I would never immortalize a guy that did me wrong. I would never give him that much credit.”
Lorrie Morgan and Troy Aikman

Lorrie Morgan and Troy Aikman
Troy Aikman dated a few celebs during his years quarterbacking the Dallas Cowboys to three Super Bowls in the ’90s. Sandra Bullock and country star Lorrie Morgan were just two of the ladies he was linked to before marrying wife Rhonda, whom he would divorce in 2011.
The “What Part of No” singer was white-hot when she and Aikman appeared together at the ACM Awards in May 1993. Afterward, the former Mrs. Keith Whitley would go on to date actor Fred Thompson and later marry songwriter Jon Randall and singer Sammy Kershaw.
Wynonna Judd and Dwight Yoakam

Wynonna Judd and Dwight Yoakam
Naomi Judd spilled the dirt on daughter Wynonna’s ’80s affair with Dwight Yoakam. They dated while he was opening for the duo. “And I’d be sittin’ with a frying pan at 2 o’clock in the morning, ’cause they hadn’t come in from the date,” the elder Judd recalls, per Rolling Stone Country.
In her own memoir, Wynonna says they’d have probably gotten married if they weren’t so busy. She fondly recalls washing his skin-tight jeans and watching him lay down on the floor to pull them on.
Brad Paisley and Chely Wright

Brad Paisley and Chely Wright
Chely Wright was the one who spilled the details about this forced relationship. She was at least a decade away from coming out as gay in 2000 when she tried to force herself to date several men, including Paisley. It’s something she admits she deeply regrets, later apologizing to him for any pain she may have caused.
Brantley Gilbert and Jana Kramer

Brantley Gilbert and Jana Kramer
Brantley Gilbert and Jana Kramer were about as hot as any country couple in 2012 and 2013. A white-hot meeting led to an engagement and then a very public breakup. The two always seemed to be one saucy look away from finding an empty closet. Alas, this union ended in late 2013, and both would go on to find new love. Gilbert proposed to wife Amber in 2014 and Kramer would later marry Michael Caussin.

Kassidy Osborn and Joe Don Rooney
The Tennessean had all the scoops on this romance, which first became public in early 2002 and ended a year later. The SheDaisy singer says her time with the Rascal Flatts’ guitarist a “waste of two years” (per Roland Note). Rooney would marry model Tiffany Fallon.
Chase Rice and Jessie James Decker

Chase Rice and Jessie James Decker
That’s Chase Rice and Jessie James Decker kissing in his music video for “Buzz Back Girl,” a song he released independently prior to become a hitmaker. Rice would later tell Taste of Country that the romance was real and they were in a relationship at the time, although he didn’t specify if it was serious or if they just went out a few times. The “Buzz Back Girl” video was released in March of 2011.
Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough

Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough
Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough were both on Brad Paisley’s tour in 2008 when they started dating. The relationship lasted over a year and included a run on Dancing With the Stars, with the pro Hough teamed with the celebrity Wicks. In fall 2009 they announced they’d split up, and a few months later she started to date Ryan Seacrest. If there were any nasty details about the breakup, they never became public. This one just seems to have run its course, but we will always fondly remember how he called her “Jules.”
Bobby Bones and Rachel Reinert

Bobby Bones and Rachel Reinert
Taste of Country helped bring this 2014 romance to light with a few tweets at the couple. It’s not really clear when or why the radio deejay and Gloriana singer broke up, and neither have reminisced publicly. It’s possible the relationship wasn’t good for her career as a country singer, because that was definitely the case a few years later when Bones dated another country singer.
Carrie Underwood and Chace Crawford

Carrie Underwood and Chace Crawford
Underwood dated actor Chace Crawford after she dated Tony Romo, starting in late 2007, according to People. They broke up in 2008 — this is the famous breakup via text — but People quotes sources as saying Underwood was the provocateur. Bygones be bygones though, right? In 2010 Crawford publicly wished nothing but the best for Underwood.
Keith Urban and Nikki Taylor

Keith Urban and Nikki Taylor
In 2002, Keith Urban and model Nikki Taylor were kicking it, and it got serious enough that, according to People, they got matching tattoos that read “amor vincit omnia” (Latin for “love conquers all”). Both covered up the tatts after the mostly private romance. In fact, Taylor would go as far as to have hers removed via laser according to Yahoo. The gossip mags never got ahold of this one, but we did find they shared a house, which Taylor got when they split up.
Dwight Yoakam and Sharon Stone

Dwight Yoakam and Sharon Stone
According to People, Sharon Stone compared kissing Dwight Yoakam to eating a dirt sandwich. That’s not good, in case you’ve yet to sample this delicacy. Yoakam and Stone were a thing in 1992, after he’d dated Wynonna Judd, but before he dated Bridget Fonda. They met while filming a watch ad.
Rumor: Kellie Pickler and Kid Rock

Rumor: Kellie Pickler and Kid Rock
The San Fransisco Chronicle legitimized this rumor with a story in 2009, so while we can’t confirm that the rock-rapper and Kellie Pickler were an item with their own quotes and anecdotes, we can offer this picture from the 2009 CMT Awards and let you decide for yourself.
Tanya Tucker and Don Johnson

Tanya Tucker and Don Johnson
The story goes that actor Don Johnson (best known these days as Nash Bridges or Kevin Costner’s arch enemy in the movie Tin Cup) left Tanya Tucker after two years of dating for a wild night with actress Patti D’Arbanville, whom he’d later father a child with. It happened from 1979 to 1981, after the pair met while working on a movie together. Tucker never married, but People reports she also romanced Merle Haggard, Glen Campbell and Andy Gibb. That’s quite an all-star lineup.
Vince Gill and Chely Wright

Vince Gill and Chely Wright
Chely Wright provided little detail about her relationship with singer Vince Gill, other than to say it happened long before she came out as gay in 2010. This picture was taken in 2006 in Nashville. The pair appear to have remained friendly, and both are now married.
Lindsay Ell and Bobby Bones

Lindsay Ell and Bobby Bones
Bobby Bones and Lindsay Ell broke up in late 2017 after she shared that radio programmers were not playing her music because they felt they would be promoting a competing radio station. It held her back, essentially — something that Bones would later talk about in depth on his radio show. Perhaps other factors played a role; Ell has not yet had the chance to put these emotions and events into song but she says the material is there.
Kenny Chesney and Renee Zellweger
People
Kenny Chesney and Renee Zellweger
Chesney and actress Renee Zellweger met and married in 2005, but split up just a few months later. There was a lot of drama around the reason for the annulment that we won’t get into here, and admittedly it’s a strange one to add to a list of relationships you supposedly forgot about. But we’re coming up on 15 years since this went down, and there’s a young audience that wasn’t paying attention back then.
Lucy Hale and Joel Crouse

Lucy Hale and Joel Crouse
The pair never talked about the relationship or the breakup, but it was pretty obvious in since-removed Instagram pictures and videos. At the time sources would say that the physical distance between them became too much to overcome. R.I.P., love.
