Nashville, the heart of country music, is a city where aspirations and relationships often intertwine. For rising country artists and the social media personalities seeking to connect with them, the rumor mill is a constant presence. Among those drawing significant attention is Bryana Ferringer, a Nashville-based model with notable connections to the genre’s emerging talents.

Nashville’s ‘It’ Girl Under Scrutiny

Ferringer, 27, has found herself at the center of relationship speculation, with links to artists like Riley Green, 37, and Tucker Wetmore, 26. Rumors of a love triangle involving Ella Langley, 26, have further cemented Ferringer’s status as a prominent figure in Nashville’s social scene. However, insights from individuals close to the situation suggest that a significant challenge to Ferringer’s growing profile stems from accusations of using her connections to advance her own career.

Over the past year, Ferringer has been publicly associated with several prominent figures in country music. She was previously linked to Wetmore after appearing in his 2024 music video for “Wind Up Missin’ You.” Their reported year-long relationship appeared to conclude around the time Ferringer attended the 2025 Country Music Awards in November with Riley Green. Her support for Green on tour was noted as early as August 2025.

Following this, Wetmore released a new song, “Proving Me Right,” in September 2025, with many listeners interpreting its lyrics as a commentary on his breakup with Ferringer. Further fueling dating rumors, Ferringer and Green were observed together at a college basketball game at Green’s alma mater in February, and later at one of his concerts in Alabama in April. They were also photographed together in Panama City Beach last month.

Online Chatter and Career Aspirations

The perceived lack of overt affection in public appearances has led to scrutiny of Ferringer’s intentions. Online discussions have characterized her as overly eager for fame, with some users noting her persistent presence alongside Green despite apparent outward signs of his interest in others. This sentiment is echoed by an insider who suggests that the narrative of Ferringer being a “clout chaser” is not entirely unfounded.

“She has expressed her ultimate aspiration to be a ‘Brittany Aldean type’ – not in terms of politics, but as a partner to a prominent figure,” a source revealed. “She appears to be calculated in her pursuits and desires a relationship with a major artist. The attention that comes with it is highly coveted.”

Regarding the rumors of a relationship between Ferringer and Green, one source indicated, “Bryana has attended Riley’s concerts and events, but there’s nothing more to it than that.” Green, who has previously been linked to Ella Langley and Megan Maroney, brought Ferringer as his guest to the 2025 Country Music Awards.

Ferringer’s Background and Rise as an Influencer

Born in Georgia in September 1998, Ferringer grew up with two siblings. Her father is in sales and marketing, while her mother works in administration at a dental center. After graduating from Tattnall Square Academy, she briefly attended Georgia College and State University before dropping out. She resided in Charleston and Tampa before relocating to Nashville in 2023. Ferringer is currently represented by Nashville-based modeling agency, The Block Agency.

With over 200,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok, Ferringer has established a significant presence as an influencer. Her sponsored content has included collaborations with brands like Stetson and American Eagle, as well as promotions for the Faceapp and the Haven Bible app. She has also engaged in paid partnerships with various fashion and lifestyle brands and appeared on a magazine cover. Her participation in the Stagecoach Festival this year, where she stayed at the 1AM Management Clubhouse, coincided with Green’s scheduled performance and Langley’s appearance.

The Ella Langley Connection

The relationship between Riley Green and Ella Langley, his frequent collaborator and duet partner, has also been a subject of considerable fan interest. Their 2024 hit duet, “You Look Like You Love Me,” achieved significant chart success, with listeners praising their vocal synergy. Langley’s opening act for Green’s “Ain’t My Last Rodeo” tour in the same year further fueled speculation about their relationship. They released another duet, “Don’t Mind If I Do,” in September 2024.

Despite their successful collaborations and shared accolades, including winning best musical event of the year at the 2024 Country Music Awards for “You Look Like You Love Me,” both Green and Langley have consistently denied any romantic involvement. Langley stated in September 2024 that they are “just good friends,” a sentiment echoed by Green in an October interview, where he described them as “just friends.” Green humorously remarked on the Viall Files podcast that Langley is “too smart to date me anyway.”

Green’s Perspective on Relationships

Green has frequently emphasized his single status in interviews. In March 2025, he described himself as “pretty damn” single on the In the Blind podcast. He has also spoken about past relationship challenges, citing poor communication as a factor in their brevity. When asked about personal growth in relationships, Green remarked, “There’s probably women everywhere that’d volunteer to answer that question for you. I don’t think I’ve gotten any better at any of that.”

This perspective aligns with an insider’s claim that Green is maintaining a degree of secrecy with Ferringer to “keep his options open.” The source expressed surprise at the duration of their association, suggesting that secrecy often indicates either a desire for privacy or a wish to pursue multiple avenues. Concerns have been raised among Ferringer’s friends regarding Green’s history of infidelity, though the insider acknowledged that “they are both providing what each other wants.” A pointed remark was made about Green’s alleged method of contacting women via his dog’s Instagram account, described as “pretty lame.”

Ferringer’s Reaction at the CMA Awards

Ferringer’s feelings about her perceived situation remain unclear, but her demeanor at the 2025 CMA Awards drew attention. An attendee reportedly shared with a celebrity gossip account that Ferringer, seated with Green, left the ceremony midway after Green and Langley accepted their second award of the night.

While neither Green nor Ferringer have directly addressed this alleged sighting, Green later explained his decision to bring Ferringer as his date to the awards. “It’s gonna be tough to tiptoe out of having a date to an award show,” Green commented in December. He elaborated that attending award shows alone or with a security guard or friend was his usual practice, and bringing Ferringer was a departure from that norm. “So, I took a friend with me to the award show,” he stated. “We had a nice time. My mom’s gone with me before. So it was my first or second award show date ever. I guess I’ve gotten big enough this is a really big issue.””

Wetmore’s Cryptic Song and Podcast Comments

Green’s explanation notwithstanding, Ferringer’s presence at the ceremony seemed to create a significant impact for her rumored ex-boyfriend, Tucker Wetmore, who was also a nominee and performer. Less than a month after the event, Wetmore released “Proving Me Right,” a song that many fans believe refers to Ferringer. Lyrics such as “You want me to see you with him/Switching from red to crimson,” interpreted by some as a nod to Green’s home state of Alabama (the Crimson Tide), and “Yeah, I saw what you was just chasin’/Queen bee, the game that you’re playin’/Ain’t worth the whiskey I wasted,” have fueled this speculation.

More recently, Wetmore discussed relationships on Kristin Cavallari’s podcast, “Let’s Be Honest.” Without naming names, he detailed early red flags in a past relationship, including his ex-girlfriend frequently going out in Nashville and leaving him to care for her dog, Mako, a pet Ferringer often features on her Instagram. Wetmore also mentioned his ex-partner socializing with other men, leading him to “swear off blondes.” He asserted that he was the one who ended the relationship, stating, “I have never been broken up with.”

These comments, combined with the lyrics of his breakup song, have led some online critics to suggest Ferringer is strategically positioning herself within Nashville’s music elite. However, another source insists Ferringer is not seeking fame and is “not a clout chaser.” This individual described her as “down to earth, a regular country girl” who “doesn’t think she’s famous and doesn’t want to be famous.” Despite these claims, Ferringer has openly expressed a desire to date a country singer, responding affirmatively when asked on the “Under The Table Talk” podcast in 2023.
