Morgan Wallen’s ex-fiance and baby mama, KT Smith, has faced many changes and challenges in 2023.
She was born Katie Dell Smith in Key West, Florida. KT and Morgan got engaged in 2019, but their romantic relationship was over just a year later. She’s also the mother of his son, three-year-old Indigo Wilder Wallen.
From a new boyfriend in her life to a serious car accident, KT has experienced many ups and downs this year.
KT’s Adopted Dog Bit Her Son, Indigo
According to the US Sun, Indigo went through a traumatic situation earlier this year that involved the family dog, Legend. On June 18, 2023, Legend bit Indigo in the face.
KT revealed in an Instagram story that she had to rush her son to the emergency room. She wrote, in part, that Indigo “had to have stitches, and we spent yesterday morning at the emergency room.”
Thankfully, KT also revealed that her son would be “ok,” but the dog bite and subsequent stitches on his face might leave Indigo with a small scar.
The US Sun reported that KT expressed gratitude for her followers in her post on social media. She wrote, “Thank you guys again for helping but for also crying with me and lifting me up.”
KT is focused on being the best mother to Indigo, but she’s also revealed that she and Legend “kind of saved each other” after KT rescued Legend, a Great Pyrenees dog, in April 2022.
KT Rehomed Legend
After Legend bit her son, KT was left with a devastating decision. She wrote on social media, “What the world tells you to do is to put the dog down because they are aggressive.” But KT also wrote that Legend “does not deserve that because he is wonderful and could do really great with a family who doesn’t have small children.”
KT revealed that Legend is not aggressive towards older kids or adults. In fact, she believes that having a young child like Indigo in the home frightened the dog and caused him to react by biting.
The outlet shared that KT took action and found a local family who said they would love to accept Legend into their home. She wrote, “We just dropped Legend off with the sweetest family.”
It turns out that Legend’s new family lives on a farm close to where KT lives in east Tennessee. KT wrote that Legend “will be living out his full potential and best life on a farm.” She also said that she and Indigo will be free to visit Legend anytime they need to.
KT Is Thankful to Be Alive Following Her Car Crash
On February 22, 2023, KT experienced another scary situation. KT was involved in a bad car accident in Nashville. Fox News reported that she explained what happened on Instagram with a shocking post and graphic images.
Her car was totaled in the accident, and KT suffered facial injuries. According to the outlet, she wrote on social media, “thankful to be alive.”
KT also tagged her friends Gabriella Payant and Caden McGuire in her post, as Caden and Gabriella were allegedly with KT in her car when the accident happened.

She also wrote that a doctor had been in the area directly after the crash. KT said that the doctor told her that she and her friends “shouldn’t be alive.”
After they were taken by ambulance to the hospital, KT revealed that Caden sat in her hospital room and prayed with her. Even though, as KT wrote on social media, Caden was “not even completely stitched up” yet.
After the Accident, KT Looked Like a Demogorgan
KT shared images of her face as she lay in her hospital bed on Instagram. It was clear to see that the right side of her face was severely swollen and bruised. She even found the courage to joke about her injuries, calling herself a “demogorgan” in one photo of her injuries.
In the comments, KT explained what happened, writing, “Some semi ran a red light and demolished us.” Fox News reported that KT confirmed she had been behind the wheel of her car that night.
She also admitted to being confused about why the right side of her body had been more badly injured than her left side. She wrote online, “My face is basically broken, and I can’t walk on my right side.”
But KT had a theory about the accident. It appears that her vehicle rolled multiple times after being hit by the semi-truck. She wrote, “It must have been from spinning so many times or the airbags.”
Thankfully, KT appears to have healed fully by June 2023.
According to Taste of Country, she posted a photo on social media showing herself with a blue bandage on her cheek. KT uploaded this photo, along with a few other images, to update us on Indigo’s progress after his dog bite injury. She calls her little boy indie and revealed that she was wearing “matching face bandaids” with her “lil man so he feels normal.”
KT also shared a sweet picture of Legend in his new home. She wrote that legend had “taken over the bed at his new home and is loving the goats so far.”
Morgan and KT Get Along for the Sake of Her Son
But KT revealed even more personal details last June. She’s been dating a new boyfriend named Luke Scornavacco. After she had to rehome Legend, Luke gave KT a special gift.
She took a picture of what he gave to her. Taste of Country shared the photo KT uploaded to social media with the caption, “And for the most thoughtful angel of a boyfriend.”
The photo shows framed photos of KT and Luke and KT and Legend. Luke had also gifted KT with beautiful flowers.

Morgan has spoken with People Magazine about how he and KT get along now for the sake of their son, saying, “We’re doing our best to figure it out, just trying to do the best we can with the situation.”
Her new boyfriend, Luke, is in the public eye for the same reason as Morgan. He rose to fame on TikTok because of his musical talent. Luke currently has over 800,000 followers.
Luke Scornavacco and KT Are Popular on Social Media
The 21-year-old met KT when they started messaging back and forth on Instagram. They began dating officially sometime between the summer and fall of 2023.
Luke enjoys posting TikTok videos that feature KT. He even uploaded a tribute music video for a Hayden Coffman song where he and KT dance around together.
Luke is also a big fan of Morgan. He’s posted cover versions of some Morgan songs on his TikTok.
Born and raised in Colorado, Luke has since moved to Nashville for personal and professional reasons. He wants to take a shot at country music stardom. Luke also moved to Tennessee to be closer to KT and Indigo, who live in Knoxville.
The pair are both popular on social media. KT does more than just modeling and being an influencer. Her blog is still active, and she uses her blog platform to inform and inspire readers to be better versions of themselves.
Although they’ve had setbacks this year, life looks bright for KT and Indigo.
