Morgan Wallen’s arrest on Sunday night did not have anything to do with his ex-girlfriend’s surprise elopement, Fox News Digital can confirm.
There is “zero accuracy” in the idea that Wallen allegedly threw a chair off the rooftop of a Nashville bar in reaction to KT Smith’s marriage to Luke Scornavacco, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital.
Smith and Scornavacco surprised fans with an elopement on April 3, just days after getting engaged. The couple announced their engagement on March 29 and shared a selfie showing off a Wilson County Clerk’s Office marriage certificate shortly after.
“Swipe for a surprise,” Smith captioned the Instagram post that featured photos of the happy couple and her son with Wallen, Indigo.

Following Wallen’s arrest, Smith revealed she made the decision to take her new husband’s last name.
“I’m going to change my last name to Luke’s – which I’m super excited to do and honored to carry his last name – because his dad also passed, but his mom still has that,” Smith said Monday in an Instagram story viewed by Fox News Digital. “So, I’m happy to be part of the family.”

Smith also said that she is not pregnant in response to comments on her Instagram post that questioned if she was expecting a child with Scornavacco because of how quickly they got married after their engagement.
“I know you can’t, like, tell this fast. It’s only been, like, a week, but I did check to see if I was pregnant,” she said. “The baby dust hasn’t worked yet. Or maybe it has. It’s just too soon to tell.”
