Is Ella Langley Dating Riley Green? The Clues So Far

If you have been quietly rooting for Ella Langley and Riley Green to be more than duet partners, sorry to break it to you: both of them keep saying no. Still, there has been just enough online breadcrumbing, fan detective work, and onstage weirdness to keep the rumor mill churning. Here is where things actually stand.

The flirty song that launched a thousand ship posts

Langley and Green dropped their love-song duet 'You Look Like You Love Me,' and fans immediately started wondering if that chemistry lived off the track, too.

The Instagram spark

On July 26, Langley posted one of those New York photo dumps on Instagram. The third pic showed her and Green in the same frame, mid-chat. That was enough to set the comments on fire, with fans basically winking at the song title and noting she knew exactly what she was doing by including that shot. Cute moment, sure, but a single photo does not equal a hard launch.

Both of them have shut it down

Green addressed the rumors head-on during a December 2024 stop on 'The Viall Files' and once again in March on the 'In the Blind' podcast. In March he described his status as 'single... pretty damn single.' And on 'Viall Files' he laid it out like this:

'Ella's probably too smart to date me anyway... There are gonna be a lot of things said, but you don't have to play into it. It's something people enjoy the same way we do, and it's cool to have that moment on stage with her every night.'

Langley echoed the same message to Taste of Country: no, they are not dating, they are just friends. Side note for TV folks: one of her songs popped up on the 'Nobody Wants This' Season 2 soundtrack.

Meanwhile, the Megan Moroney chatter

Green has been linked to Megan Moroney too, especially after they teamed up on a rendition of 'Don't Mind If I Do' in November 2024. Things heated up again in January 2025 when fans thought the two might be vacationing at the same resort in Saint Barthélemy. Internet sleuths matched Green's resort pics to the island, and People pointed out Moroney had recently posted a photo wearing one of his hats. None of that is a confession, but you can see why fans connected dots.

Did that change the vibe on stage?

According to Parade, around the time the Moroney rumors picked up, fans started noticing a shift in Langley's stage energy during performances of the duet with Green. Less playful, more avoiding eye contact. Is that definitive proof of anything? Not really. But it is the kind of small, telling detail fans clock from the cheap seats.

Green's unexpected crush

Asked who he has been listening to lately, Green name-checked Norah Jones to Taste of Country, calling 'Don't Know Why' a song that 'gets me every time' and admitting, yes, he has a crush. One hiccup: Jones is married to musician Pete Remm. They started dating in 2012 while she was working on 'Little Broken Hearts,' got married in 2014, and have two kids. She has said her husband prefers to keep a low profile and 'likes to stay mysterious.' Translation: Green will have to admire from a distance.

So where does that leave Ella and Riley?

• They released a flirty duet that sparked dating rumors.
• A July 26 Instagram photo of the two together fanned the flames.
• Green has twice said he is single (December 2024 on 'The Viall Files' and March on 'In the Blind').
• Langley told Taste of Country they are not dating and are just friends.
• Separate rumors linked Green to Megan Moroney after a November 2024 collab and possible January 2025 overlap in Saint Barthélemy; fans also noticed a cooler onstage vibe between Green and Langley around then, per Parade.
• Green admitted a current crush on Norah Jones, who is married with two kids.

Bottom line: the duet partners say they are not a couple, and Green keeps labeling himself single. The social media tea leaves are fun to read, but the actual words out of their mouths are pretty clear.
