Country star Morgan Wallen was arrested this past weekend after he allegedly hurled a chair from a rooftop bar in Nashville.
Wallen, 30, was upset his ex Katie ‘KT’ Smith had secretly eloped just days after getting engaged when he threw the chair, DailyMail.com revealed.
Smith announced last week she and Luke Scornavacco had tied the knot after a brief engagement and less than a year of dating.
But prior to her romance with Luke, she was in a relationship with Wallen, and the two went on to have a son named Indigo after they called it quits.
Wallen began dating Smith in December 2016 before popping the question just four months later, according to Page Six.

But in August 2018 they ended their engagement and just over a year later had split.
Smith described the struggles they endured at the end of their relationship on her blog, and in a entry claimed Wallen wasn’t ‘the most faithful’ when he was touring as she described how their connection had turned ‘rocky’ their final year together.
‘We started talking on Snapchat (LOL) and hung out very often, started dating- and then got engaged within a few months,’ she wrote on her blog. ‘We broke off the engagement but still dated consistently for about two years, living with one another for about three- but that third year was rocky. The kind of toxic, trauma bond you hear about on Tik Tok.
‘We were off and on the third year, still talking 24/7 and seeing each other every time he was in town and I would still go on the road with him.. But being thrown into the spotlight at such a young age is obviously going to come with some bad decisions. He wasn’t the most faithful.’
In July 2020 they welcomed their son Indigo Wilder, who was conceived after they had broken up, according to People.
Announcing Indigo’s birth on Instagram at the time, Wallen posted: ‘I’ll be the Dad you deserve as well as the co-parent your mother deserves. Since you were born, I know that every decision I make will be with you in mind.
‘I promise I’ll always protect you, and do my best to be an example of a good, godly man just like my daddy was for me.’
KT also shared snaps of the newborn, posting as she announced her new bundle of joy: ‘when you pray for God to send someone who reciprocates your love for them- and he sends you the most perfect version of that..

‘Yesterday was nothing short of complete bliss.. ✨♥️ Indie Wilder you are your mama’s answered prayer times infinity and the cutest little human ham hunk I’ve ever laid eyes on.’
But the exes initially struggled to co-parent, with Smith writing on her blog: ‘Co-parenting with Morgan at the beginning was extremely difficult because it was very new to both of us and I was still bitter towards him.’
‘After time passed and Indie became my life, I felt truly healed,’ she added.
Indigo’s parents reached a better place in their co-parenting arrangement once he turned six months old.
‘We just got everything figured out. But KT’s worked with me throughout the whole time, so I’ve been able to see him a lot since he was born,’ he previously told People. ‘So if you walk in my house now, you think a baby lives here.’
‘Why save the good things for later,’ Smith captioned photos from the proposal
Smith has since announced her marriage to Scornavacco.
KT dropped a collection of cute images captioned ‘swipe for a surprise’ last week – which culminated with a snap of their marriage certificate.
The couple went public with their romance in May 2023.
KT revealed Scornavacco had popped the question on Easter Sunday after less than a year of dating she shared images from the proposal.
‘Why save the good things for later,’ Smith captioned the Instagram post.

KT and Luke’s engagement came days before her ex Morgan was arrested after he allegedly launched a chair from the sixth floor of a rooftop bar in Nashville.
Wallen was released on bond from a Metropolitan Nashville Police Department after hurling the chair from the Chiefs Bar just after 10.45pm on Sunday.
He was charged with three counts of felony reckless endangerment and one count of misdemeanor disorderly conduct, with officers alleging the chair landed three feet from them.

Wallen was upset by Smith eloping with Luke Scornavacco on April 3 — just five days after they got engaged.
Sources told DailyMail.com: ‘KT’s marriage to Luke last week just crushed him.’
The source added, ‘Of course he knew they were engaged and eventually going to get married – but eloping just days after they got engaged?
‘Morgan has never gotten over her even though he couldn’t stay faithful to her. And now another man is going to be raising his son.
‘Whatever happened at that bar had to be reality hitting him in the face over losing the love of his life.’
Wallen and Smith’s son was there to witness his mom get engaged after Scornavacco, 22, got on one knee on March 29 at Magnolia Farm in Eagleville, Tennessee.
His former lover shared a series of smitten photographs with her new lover, and defended herself against those online who questioned the speed of their relationship.
She denied that the nuptials were a shotgun wedding, but joked that ‘now we’re married we can try all we want’, on her Instagram story.
