KT Smith recalls feeling ‘unworthy’ after having her son out of wedlock
Smith doesn’t directly refer to Wallen often on her blog. But she often discusses her feelings surrounding her tumultuous relationship with the country star. Most of these posts center around her life as a single mother, as well as the difficulties that come from co-parenting with someone you are no longer in a romantic relationship with.
In one post about her work with the nonprofit organization Youth for Christ, Smith admitted that having a child out of wedlock made her feel “unworthy.” She’s struggled to reconcile her Christian faith with being a single, unmarried mother.
Morgan Wallen and KT Smith’s relationship timeline
Wallen and Smith first started appearing publicly in 2017, even walking the red carpet at that year’s CMT Awards ceremony. The couple kept things pretty private. But they did post photos of each other on social media from time to time.
In 2019, they got engaged but broke up soon afterward. However, that wasn’t the end of Wallen and Smith’s relationship. The influencer has acknowledged that they still had a physical relationship post-split. In 2020, she gave birth to their son, Indigo “Indie” Wallen. Smith moved to Nashville, where Wallen lives, and the two co-parent their son.
KT Smith says co-parenting with Morgan Wallen ‘will never be perfect’
Smith also posted a lengthy blog post about what it’s like to co-parent with Wallen. She wrote that many people have asked her how she makes it look so easy. However, Smith shared that it’s harder than it looks.
“Sometimes it is wonderful and other times you’re thinking ‘What can I do to make this person not my baby’s father/mother?’” Smith wrote, adding that the child always has to come first. This includes everything from making a schedule that works for everyone, accepting that a co-parent’s new partner is a good influence on the child, and managing the ups and downs of Wallen’s career.
She concluded, “Coparenting [sic] will always have its issues come up, it will never be perfect and we will always get mad/upset/protective over certain things… But if you have the mindset that your child comes first, we let the little things go.”
