Do you know who Katie Smith is? She goes by “KT,” and she recently got married. But that’s not why she’s so well-known.
Katie is also Morgan Wallen’s ex-fiance and the mother of his son, Indigo. They allegedly have a good co-parenting relationship. Or do they?
Sources, including the Daily Mail, now allege that Morgan had a “shocking outburst” when he found out Katie had eloped. TMZ reported that Morgan claimed everything was “all good” with his ex. However, there are suspicions that Morgan hired the paparazzi to take pictures of him, Katie, and their son to “end” the rumors that he’s devastated she secretly married another guy.
If you don’t know what “shocking outburst” the Daily Mail was talking about, it’s the now-infamous chair-throwing incident on April 6th. Morgan got arrested in Nashville for throwing a chair off the roof of Chief’s bar in Music City. He’s lucky that crash-landing chair didn’t seriously—or fatally—injure someone below.
Daily Mail also claimed they got an exclusive interview with a “source,” updated on April 9th. The source claimed that Morgan had a “meltdown” when 29-year-old Katie said “I Do” with 22-year-old Luke Scornavacco on April 3rd.
Shockingly, the source said Morgan was “just crushed” by Katie marrying Luke. Allegedly, he was blindsided that they eloped “just days after they got engaged.”
Even though Morgan knew that Luke had proposed to Katie, the source alleged he had “never gotten over her.” If that’s the real truth, Morgan still couldn’t “stay faithful” to Katie when they were engaged. He still allegedly had that “meltdown” because Luke would be by Katie’s side and helping to raise Indigo.
Morgan Wants Everything to Appear Okay
Witnesses at the bar that night claimed that Morgan was drinking heavily and flirting with another woman. Shockingly, it’s alleged that he began laughing after he tossed the chair off the roof. However, the Daily Mail’s source tells a different side of the story.
They alleged that “whatever happened” at Chief’s was actually “reality” catching up with Morgan since he’s lost “the love of his life.” Did it also shake Morgan to his core that his son witnessed Katie and Luke getting engaged? The Daily Mail reported that three-year-old Indigo was at Magnolia Farm in Eagleville, Tennessee, on March 29th, when Luke “got on one knee” and proposed to Katie.

Suspicions that Morgan hired the paparazzi to catch him and Katie with Indigo happened the weekend after his arrest. Media outlets like TMZ claimed “all seemed well” between Morgan and his ex-fiance.
Morgan looked like a dressed-down dad in sneakers, an orange t-shirt, and a white baseball hat. Katie was photographed getting out of the “same car” with Morgan, carrying Indigo in her arms. Morgan followed several steps behind, and the Daily Mail reported he was “holding his son’s stuffed teddy bear.”
KT Doesn’t Think Morgan’s Outburst Was About Her
However, The Daily Beast may have proven that the Daily Mail’s source was wrong. Their source was far from anonymous, as it was KT herself. The Daily Beast contacted Katie, and her statement sounded like she wanted to set the record straight.
Katie revealed that although the “timeline” of Morgan’s alleged meltdown seemed to “correlate” to her speedy marriage, she had “no evidence to believe the incident had anything to do with” her recent wedding. So, did Morgan secretly hire the paparazzi to take those family photos with his son?
Katie claimed she couldn’t speak “on Morgan’s behalf,” but sweetly, she added, “I do pray the very best for him.” Katie also wondered if “this was just a slip-up.” She hopes that Morgan “will return to the good path that he was on prior” to his most recent arrest.
Morgan’s diehard fans seem to defend him no matter what. Shockingly, KT has had to deal with online haters who attacked her for getting married so fast.
KT took the high road on her Instagram story, denying that she and Luke had a “shotgun wedding” because she’s already pregnant again. KT joked on social media, “Now that we’re married, we can try all we want.”
Their Coparenting Relationship Has Been Difficult
But Katie hasn’t always been as funny on social media. IMDB reported in March 2023 that KT had given “cryptic co-parenting advice about shielding her son from ‘bad behavior.” Allegedly, she was talking about Morgan’s negative influence over Indigo.
Last year, KT made some pretty shocking confessions about co-parenting on her blog, That Thoughts. KT acknowledged on her blog that people had told her she made co-parenting look easy with Morgan. But then KT dropped the bombshell.
It was a lengthy post about “issues” that KT alleged she’d had to work through. If that was the real truth, then co-parenting with Morgan was a real test of her strength.
She confessed that co-parenting is, in fact, “not easy.” Although she admitted it could be “wonderful,” KT claimed at “other times you’re thinking, ‘What can I do to make this person not my baby’s father/mother?”
KT was more candid than many people expected in this blog post. Surprisingly, she even admitted there had been times in Indigo’s short life when she wasn’t sure she wanted Morgan to be around him, and she gave a specific reason for that.
She hinted on the blog about Morgan’s “bad behavior.” This was an entire year before his recent chair-throwing incident. Additionally, KT expressed her worries that Morgan would bring a future partner into her son’s life who wouldn’t be a “good influence” either.
KT Puts Her Child first
But KT really worked through her concerns in this blog post. Shockingly, she concluded that her personal feelings from the past were starting to “influence” how she viewed Morgan as the father of their child.
KT even admitted having to “re-evaluate” and work harder to improve her co-parenting relationship with Morgan. She advised women in similar co-parenting situations to “always put their child first.”
Katie should be congratulated for her mature viewpoint about co-parenting with Morgan. She still remembers the heartbreak he caused her when they were together, and People Magazine described how the last year of their relationship was really difficult for KT.
She confessed in a blog post that 2019 was a “rocky” time for her and Morgan. They were still living together and engaged, but shockingly, KT confessed that she knew Morgan “wasn’t always faithful” to her when he was away touring.
Katie didn’t hesitate to admit why co-parenting with Morgan was so difficult for her “at the beginning.” Unbelievably, she confessed she was “still bitter towards him” when she got pregnant with Indigo.
It didn’t help that she and Morgan were officially “broken up” when she conceived. When her son arrived, KT confessed it was still too “new” for them to figure out.
Morgan Wants to Be the “Dad” His Son Deserves
KT explained that it took her and Morgan about six months after Indigo’s birth to figure out a “routine that worked for them.” She revealed, “After time passed and Indie became my life, I felt truly healed.” Then, she and Morgan were able to focus on Indigo’s “health and happiness.”
Morgan also claimed in interviews that he finally “got everything figured out” with KT when co-parenting their infant son. Morgan revealed that KT “worked with me throughout the whole time.” He was grateful that he had been able to see Indigo “a lot since he was born.”
Morgan said, “So if you walk into my house now, you think a baby lives here.” Hopefully, Morgan can get back to being the dad he’s always wanted to be. He revealed all his hopes and dreams in an Instagram post right after Indigo was born.
Morgan wrote that he wanted to be a “Dad” that his son deserved, “as well as the co-parent your mother deserves.” KT would have been happy to read that, but she also relies on her strong faith to get through.
KT wrote in a blog post that God’s “plan” will happen “regardless.” Shockingly, she claimed, “this applies to the safety aspect.” KT didn’t want to sound “morbid,” and explained that she knows “God has complete control over my life and everyone’s life as well.”
She added, “What is meant to happen is going to happen, whether it be with you or your child’s father.” Since Morgan didn’t fatally wound anyone on Broadway with his chair-tossing stunt, maybe a higher power was with him that night, and that was the “plan,” as KT might believe.
