Ella Langley and Riley Green Surprise Fans With Wedding and Baby News — Country Music’s New Power Couple Plans a Summer Celebration

In a surprise announcement that sent shockwaves through Nashville and across the country music world, rising star Ella Langley and chart-topping artist Riley Green have revealed that they are officially engaged — and planning a wedding for this summer. The unexpected double revelation didn’t stop there: Langley also confirmed that the couple is expecting their first child, turning what was already big news into one of the most talked-about stories of the year in country music.

The announcement came late Sunday evening through Ella’s verified social media accounts, where she shared a heartfelt message alongside a candid photo of her and Riley smiling under the Tennessee sunset. “Life’s about to get even sweeter,” she wrote. “Can’t wait to say ‘I do’ to my best friend — and to start this next chapter as a family.”

Within minutes, fans and fellow musicians flooded the comments with congratulations. The reaction from the country music community has been overwhelmingly warm, with messages pouring in from some of Nashville’s biggest names. According to multiple sources, the couple’s wedding — being dubbed “the Country Wedding of the Year” — will feature an all-star guest list including Reba McEntire, Jelly Roll, Blake Shelton, Lainey Wilson, and several other A-list country performers.

While details about the ceremony remain private, insiders close to the couple describe the event as an intimate yet deeply Southern celebration — set to take place on a private ranch just outside of Nashville. The wedding is reportedly being planned for mid-summer 2026, aligning perfectly with Langley’s break between touring commitments. Sources say the reception will feature live performances, rustic décor, and “a few musical surprises” that reflect the couple’s shared love of traditional country storytelling.

Ella Langley, known for her soulful voice and hit singles like “Country Boy’s Dream” and “That’s Why I Drink,” has quickly become one of the brightest young talents in Nashville’s new generation of artists. Her blend of Southern grit and honest emotion has earned her a loyal fan base and critical praise. Riley Green, whose chart-topping hits like “There Was This Girl” and “I Wish Grandpas Never Died” have made him a modern country favorite, has long been admired for his authenticity and down-to-earth charm. Together, the pair have been quietly dating for over a year, often spotted at industry events and supporting each other’s tours.

Although the couple has mostly kept their relationship private, fans had begun to speculate about a possible engagement after Langley was seen wearing a diamond ring during a recent awards show appearance. When asked about it in interviews, both artists remained coy — until this week’s announcement confirmed what many had hoped for.

Adding to the joy, Langley’s pregnancy news has melted hearts across the industry. In her post, she didn’t give specific

details, but friends close to the couple say she is in good health and excited for motherhood. “Ella’s glowing,” one friend told Nashville Now. “She and Riley are thrilled. They’ve both talked for a while about wanting a family, and now it’s happening.”

Fans have taken to social media to express their excitement, with hashtags like #EllaAndRileyForever and #CountryWeddingOfTheYear trending within hours of the news breaking. Many have called the couple’s story a “real-life country love song,” celebrating their commitment to each other amid the pressures of fame.

Even country legends are showing their support. Reba McEntire reportedly sent a personal note of congratulations, while Blake Shelton commented on Ella’s post: “Y’all just set the bar for country romance. Can’t wait to celebrate!” Jelly Roll, who recently collaborated with Langley, wrote, “Two of my favorite people in this town. Love y’all big time.”

Industry analysts are already predicting that this event could become one of the most celebrated celebrity weddings in recent country history, comparable to iconic pairings like Tim McGraw and Faith Hill or Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. The combination of music, family, and heartfelt authenticity seems to strike a chord with fans craving genuine stories amid the glitz of stardom.

Though both Langley and Green have busy touring schedules ahead, they’ve made it clear that family will be their top priority in the months to come. In an interview teaser released Monday, Riley reflected on their journey together: “We’ve both been chasing dreams in this crazy business for a long time. To find each other through it all — and now to start a family — it just feels right.”

As anticipation builds for their summer wedding, Nashville is buzzing with excitement. Whether it’s the music, the love story, or the sense of authenticity both artists embody, Ella Langley and Riley Green’s union feels like a refreshing reminder of what country music has always celebrated — love, home, and the beauty of life’s simple, heartfelt moments.
