Unveiling the Truth
For months, fans eagerly awaited confirmation or denial of the rumors.
Moroney remained tight-lipped about the true inspiration behind “Tennessee Orange,” neither confirming nor denying the swirling speculation.
That all changed on a Wednesday (July 31) episode of theCall Her Daddypodcast.
During the episode, host Alex Cooper directly asked Moroney if she and Wallen had ever been romantically involved. Moroney’s response was both candid and humorous.
“Never exclusively,” she replied, breaking into laughter. “I’ve tried to avoid that in every single interview I’ve ever done. But we’re here now, and time has passed, so all is well.”
While it became clear that Moroney and Wallen never had a serious, exclusive relationship, Moroney did reveal that they had indeed dated.
She provided a detailed timeline of their relationship, dating back to early 2020.
“Okay, here’s what I’ll tell you, because I haven’t told anyone this ever,” Moroney began. “Him and I met in 2020—Jon Langston actually introduced us. I was a senior in college. COVID hadn’t happened yet. HisDangerousalbum wasn’t even out yet.”
She continued, “So we were friends for a long time. It’s 2024 now, and that was 2020. We were friends for a long time. We were not just friends. And now we’re friends.”
Keeping Their Relationship Private
Moroney elaborated on how they managed to keep their relationship underwraps, emphasizing that it wasn’t particularly challenging.
“Like I said, we weren’t exclusively dating ever,” she pointed out.
“And I think both of our schedules made it easier to keep things private. When we tried to hang out, it was like, ‘Okay, we have this one day of the whole month where we’re both maybe in town, and then someone has something going on.’ But him and I are friends.”
Their busy schedules and the nature of their relationship made it easy for them to maintain a level of privacy that is often difficult for celebrities to achieve.
