How Did Carly Pearce Meet Boyfriend Riley King?
Pearce previously told Audacy’sRob Stone and Holly Hutton in June of 2022 that she met Riley King, a Nashville-based Realtor, through mutual friends and that they have been dating for a year. While Pearce said she initially kept her relationship with King a bit private during the interview, the chart-topping hitmaker has been more open about it with fans recently, sharing photos with King at different events, including a variety of award shows such as the 2022 ACM Awards.
Her love for Riley King has already inspired a new song. In November of 2022, Pearce performed an unreleased new song titled “Trust Issues” at The Listening Room. The song is expected to potentially appear on her upcoming new album, which she vowed to move past heartbreak on as her “love life is flourishing” and as she says she can’t be “29 and divorced forever.”
The forthcoming new album will serve as the follow-up to 2021’s 29: Written In Stone, which was written and released in the wake of her divorcefrom country star Michael Ray.

The 2023 edition of Crash My Playa marked Pearce’s first time playing the annual beachside concert event, hosted by Luke Bryan, and it was a dream come true for the “What He Didn’t Do” singer.
“I’ve been telling Luke for years I want to go to Crash My Playa,” Pearce admitted ahead of the annual concert event. “And so, he told me, ‘Alright, you’re gonna go. I promise, I promise.’ I always have FOMO that I’m not there, and so I’m really excited to go. Luke is one of the craziest, funniest people I’ve ever met in my life, so I can only imagine what you do when you get Luke down with tons of tequila and a beach. So, I can’t wait.”
