Nashville, the heart of country music, is a fertile ground for both burgeoning artists and aspiring influencers seeking to connect with the industry’s elite. Among these figures, Bryana Ferringer, a model with a notable presence in the city’s music scene, has become a focal point of relationship speculation. Her rumored links to prominent country singers Riley Green and Tucker Wetmore, alongside whispers of a potential love triangle with rising star Ella Langley, have positioned her as a fixture in Nashville’s social circles.
Clout Chasing Accusations Surface
However, a recurring theme in discussions surrounding Ferringer’s ascent is the accusation that she is strategically aligning herself with Nashville’s biggest names to further her own career. Over the past year, the 27-year-old model has been romantically linked to several high-profile figures in country music.
Ferringer was previously featured in the music video for Tucker Wetmore’s 2024 song, ‘Wind Up Missin’ You,’ sparking initial romance rumors. After approximately a year together, speculation intensified when Ferringer attended the 2025 Country Music Awards in November with Riley Green, 37. She was also observed supporting Green on tour as early as August 2025. Shortly thereafter, Wetmore released a new song, ‘Proving Me Right,’ with lyrics that many interpreted as a commentary on his breakup with Ferringer.
Further fueling the dating rumors, Ferringer and Green were spotted together courtside at a college basketball game at Green’s alma mater in February, and later at one of his concerts in Alabama in April. Last month, they were photographed together at Tootsie’s in Panama City Beach.
Online Chatter and Insider Perspectives
The perceived lack of overt affection from Green has led to online discussions about Ferringer’s intentions. Some observers have branded her as overly eager for fame, with one Reddit user noting, ‘There’s literally been photo evidence of him hanging (if not more) with other girls yet she’s still there biting at his heels. Poor girl has a serious case of fame hunger.’
According to one insider, these online sentiments are not entirely unfounded. ‘She has said that her ultimate goal is to be a Brittany Aldean type – not politically but as a WAG,’ the source revealed. ‘I think she can be calculated when it comes to what she wants and she wants to be with an artist – and a big one at that. She would kill for the attention. She would love nothing more than to be the girl that people are talking about. The girl that these hot country artists want.’
Regarding the rumors of a relationship with Green, a separate source stated, ‘Bryana has been at Riley’s concerts and stuff, but there’s not more to it than that.’
Ferringer’s Background and Career
Born in September 1998 in Macon, Georgia, Ferringer grew up with two siblings. Her father is involved in sales and marketing, while her mother manages a dental care center’s business office. After graduating from Tattnall Square Academy, she attended Georgia College and State University for a year before dropping out, as she shared on the ‘Under The Table Talk’ podcast in 2023. She lived in Charleston and Tampa before relocating to Nashville in 2023, where she is now represented by The Block Agency.
With a significant following across Instagram and TikTok, Ferringer has cultivated a successful influencer career. Her sponsored content includes brands like Stetson and American Eagle, as well as an advertisement for the Faceapp and Haven Bible app. She has also engaged in promotional activities for Guy Fox cologne, Lane 201 clothing, and Western and Co leather apparel, and has appeared on a magazine cover.
Ferringer was among the influencers who attended the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California, this year, staying at the 1AM Management Clubhouse. Coincidentally, Riley Green and Ella Langley were also scheduled to perform at the festival.
The Riley Green and Ella Langley Dynamic
Meanwhile, the relationship between Riley Green and Ella Langley, his frequent collaborator and duet partner, has also been a subject of considerable speculation among country music fans. Their hit duet, ‘You Look Like You Love Me,’ released in June 2024, topped the charts and garnered praise for their vocal chemistry. Langley’s opening performances for Green’s ‘Ain’t My Last Rodeo’ tour in 2024 further fueled dating rumors. They also collaborated on another duet, ‘Don’t Mind If I Do,’ in September 2024.
Despite the public perception, both Green and Langley have consistently denied any romantic involvement. Langley told Taste of Country in September 2024 that they are ‘not dating’ and are ‘just good friends.’ Green echoed this sentiment in an interview with Billboard the following month, stating they are ‘just friends’ and humorously remarking on the podcast ‘Viall Files’ that ‘Ella’s too smart to date me anyway.’
Green himself has often emphasized his single status. In March 2025, he revealed on the ‘In the Blind’ podcast that he was ‘pretty damn’ single and has spoken about past relationship challenges due to poor communication skills in an interview with Country Now in July last year. He admitted, ‘I don’t think I’ve gotten any better at any of that.’
Green’s ‘Options Open’ Approach?
One insider suggests that Green’s discretion with Ferringer stems from a desire to ‘keep his options open.’ The source commented, ‘I’m actually surprised they’ve been together for this long. There are only two reasons you are secretive: you either really truly want to maintain your privacy, or you want to have your cake and eat it too.’
This perspective has raised concerns among Ferringer’s friends. ‘Look at the trail he’s left behind of broken hearts, you’d never want that for a friend. He’s been notorious for having wandering eyes. But I think they are both providing what each other wants,’ a friend noted, adding a jab at Green’s alleged habit of contacting women via his dog’s Instagram account, calling it ‘pretty lame.’
Ferringer’s Reaction at CMA Awards
Ferringer’s feelings about the situation remain unclear, but her reaction at the 2025 CMA Awards was noted. An attendee reported to celebrity gossip account Deuxmoi that Ferringer, seated with Green, left her seat mid-show after Green and Langley accepted their second award of the night. While neither Green nor Ferringer have publicly addressed this alleged sighting, Green later explained his decision to bring Ferringer as his date.
‘It’s gonna be tough to tiptoe out of having a date to an award show,’ Green told Elaina Smith of Backstage Country in December. ‘Yeah, I mean, you go to award shows all the time, and I’m always by myself, or I’ve got like, a security guy, or a buddy with me, so I took a friend with me to the award show,’ he added. ‘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 Comments
Green’s explanation did little to quell speculation, especially for Ferringer’s rumored ex-boyfriend, Tucker Wetmore, who was also present at the awards as a nominee and performer. Less than a month later, Wetmore released ‘Proving Me Right,’ a song that fans quickly interpreted as being about Ferringer. Lyrics such as ‘You want me to see you with him/Switching from red to crimson’ (potentially referencing Green’s home state of Alabama) 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 these theories.
More recently, Wetmore discussed relationship red flags on Kristin Cavallari’s podcast, ‘Let’s Be Honest.’ Without naming specifics, he mentioned an ex-girlfriend frequently going out in Nashville ‘two, three times’ a week and ‘leaving me with your dog’ (Ferringer often posts photos of her dog, Mako). He also noted that his unnamed ex was ‘hanging out with other dudes,’ leading him to ‘swear off blondes.’ Wetmore insisted he was the one who ended the relationship, stating he has ‘never been broken up with.’
These comments, coupled with his song’s lyrics, have led some online critics to suggest Ferringer is engaged in social climbing within the Nashville music scene.
Conflicting Narratives on Ferringer’s Motivations
However, another insider has defended Ferringer, insisting she ‘isn’t trying to be famous’ and is ‘not a clout chaser.’ This source described her as ‘down to earth, regular country girl’ who ‘doesn’t think she’s famous and doesn’t want to be famous.’ Despite this assertion, Ferringer herself has expressed a desire to date a country singer, responding with an emphatic ‘Oh yeah’ when asked on the ‘Under The Table Talk’ podcast in 2023.
