Megan Moroney and Christian Pulisic are facing renewed dating speculation after the country singer was photographed with what appeared to be a picture of herself and the soccer star on her phone's lock screen.

Megan Moroney's Lock Screen Photo Sparks Dating Rumors
Dating rumors started floating when Pulisic attended one of her concerts and met her backstage
Moroney was photographed leaving the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show after-party at Craig's in West Hollywood. According to the reports, her phone appeared to display a photo of Moroney with her arm around Pulisic, who was wearing a white T-shirt.
Representatives for both stars were contacted for comment but had not responded when the report was published.
The picture has added another layer to rumors that began months earlier. While a personal photo can suggest the two are close, it does not confirm the nature of their relationship.
In July, Moroney described herself as single, while saying she might be ready to date again after completing her European tour.
How Did the Dating Rumors Start?

Speculation first gained traction in July after Pulisic attended Moroney's July 18 concert in Miami.
A photo showed the soccer player backstage with Moroney and his cousin, Holly Ullrich.
Days later, the pair were reportedly seen together in the VIP section of Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row in Nashville.
The rumors picked up again in September when Moroney shared photos from a trip to Italy, including Milan, where Pulisic plays for AC Milan.
Fans also noticed what appeared to be a Pulisic-related jersey in footage shared from the trip. Those details have fueled speculation, but none independently establishes that the two are dating.

Pulisic split with Alexa Melton in 2026
Pulisic's most recently confirmed public relationship was with professional golfer Alexa Melton. The pair began dating in 2024 and split earlier in 2026.
After their breakup, Melton made comments suggesting Pulisic had been on the dating app Raya before their relationship ended.
She later walked back the remarks in an April 9 Instagram Story, writing, "I received false info. He is not a cheater."
She added that her comments had been taken out of context and said she would not discuss the matter further out of respect for their privacy.
Pulisic later spoke positively about Melton in a May interview with Time, saying he viewed her "in the most positive way" and was grateful for her support during their relationship.
