Are Riley Green and Ella Langley dating? What we know about ACM winner’s personal life

Riley Green, 36, and Ella Langley, 25, have been sparking dating rumors since last year. While netizens keep speculating rumors about their relationship, the country musicians have denied the whispers.

The singer duo's collaboration for the song You Look Like You Love Me has marked a career standout moment. They co-wrote the track along with Aaron Raitiere, with Langley writing the second verse of the hit song.

Last November, she chatted with People and recalled a fun anecdote about writing the song. She said:

"When we wrote the song, we were laughing thinking this might cause some marriages, maybe some divorces, and definitely some children."

Apart from sparking off-stage sparks, Langley has been making the headlines lately for her success at the 2025 Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards. Hosted on May 8 at the Ford Center in Frisco, she won awards in five categories.

She was awarded with New Female Artist of the Year. Also, for You Look Like You Love Me, she won the Single of the Year award, the Music Event of the Year award, the Visual Media of the Year award as artist and co-director, and the Visual Media of the Year award as producer.

The singer accepted the recognition with a heartfelt acceptance speech. While expressing her gratitude, she said,

"I'm still outta breath a little, and I feel like I kinda have been since this song came out."

According to The Pinnacle Gazette, the talented singer recounted growing up on classic country, and continued,

"I grew up on classic country, and there's a lot of talking in it. Conway Twitty. Johnny Lee. David Alan Coe. This song really changed it for me as a songwriter. It taught me to just not care so much and write what you love and write what feels good."

On Thursday, Riley Green also attended the ACM Awards and expressed his pride and happiness for Elle, stating,

"I just wanna say how cool it is that a song with talking verses won an award. I'm so proud of Ella and how she represents the home state of Alabama with me. I'm so happy for her success and I'm happy to be a part of this song."

Green, too, left a mark in the 2025 ACM awards, winning three awards for You Look Like You Love Me. With Langley, he was awarded for Single of the Year, Music Event of the Year, and Visual Media of the Year. Their noteworthy achievements at the event presented their flourishing career in the country music landscape.

Is Riley Green single?

Ella Langley and Riley Green have quashed their dating rumors since fans began linking them romantically last year. The singers have clarified themselves in multiple interviews and expressed their thoughts on these speculated headlines.

On an episode of the In the Blind podcast in March 2024, the There Was This Girl singer announced he has been "pretty darn" single.

Recounting how he met Ella, he shared with Backstage Country,

"Yeah, I’ve been a big fan of Ella Langley for a long time. We met through a mutual friend, and I was kinda in as soon as I heard her voice and her twang and how country she sounded, and also that she loved what I would call traditional country music."

Despite their remarks on their alleged dating stories, media tabloids continued with the couple's pairing buzz. In September 2024, Ella confirmed to Taste of Country,

"We’re not dating. We’re just good friends."

In December 2024, Riley Green again reflected on the gossip columns and confirmed he was not involved romantically with Langley.

In a conversation on The Viall Files podcast, he said jokingly,

"Ella’s probably too smart to date me anyway."

As per Glamour, he further stated,

"But I think that’s kind of the country music fan, like, they love the Tim McGraw and Faith [Hill], and the George [Jones] and Tammy [Wynette]."

Green added,

"And when we fist started having the success we did with that song, I kinda told Ella, I was like, 'There’s gonna be a lot of things said, but I mean, you don’t really have to play into it or not play into it, its gonna be something people enjoy the same way we do when we go listen to those songs, so it’s cool to have that moment on stage with her every night.'"

Amid rumors of the Hell Of A Way To Go singer dating Ella Langley, People reported a new buzz among netizens, indicating something between Riley and Megan Moroney.

If his comments are to be believed, Riley Green is single. Before Ella Langley and Megan Moroney, he was romantically linked to Sophia Sansone in 2022. However, they did not confirm the relationship.
