By now, you’ve probably heard of Riley Green. And if not—where have you been hiding? Just kidding! But seriously, even if his name doesn’t ring a bell right away, chances are you’ve heard that smooth country voice of his on the radio or scrolling through your feed.
At 36, Riley has become one of country music’s favorite leading men, especially after teaming up with fellow Alabama native Ella Langley for their playful duet “You Look Like You Love Me.” Their on-stage chemistry and flirty lyrics had fans swooning—and speculating.
In fact, their performance was such a hit that the song snagged Musical Event of the Year at the 58th Annual Country Music Awards on November 20. And let’s be real, watching them share the stage definitely sparked some curiosity. Are they just duet partners—or something more?
So, are Riley Green and Ella Langley dating?
As cute as they look together on stage, Ella Langley has cleared the air: they’re just good friends.
“Riley was probably the first famous person I ever met,” she shared during a red carpet interview with Taste of Country. “He was playing the same bars I used to go to in Alabama, and I played those same bars later on. It’s awesome to see Alabama people winning!”
But when it comes to romance? Nope! “We’re not dating,” Ella said with a smile. “We’re just really good friends.”
What about Riley—Is he single?
All signs point to yes! Over the years, Riley’s been linked to a few names in the rumor mill, like music manager Sophia Sansone and singer-songwriter Jessica Lynn—but nothing was ever confirmed. As of now, Riley hasn’t posted or spoken publicly about being in a relationship.
What he does love to show off? His sweet relationship with his mom (who was his date to the CMAs and even helped put his cowboy hat on before his performance!), and his adorable dog, Carl.
Carl, his beloved cowboy corgi, has his own Instagram account, and honestly? He might just be the star of Riley’s feed. Whether it’s a tour bus nap or a walk in the woods, Carl is clearly Riley’s number one sidekick. And let’s be honest—if dogs are good judges of character, Riley Green must be top-tier.
