Christian Pulisic and country star Megan Moroney spark dating rumors after social media clue

Country music star Megan Moroney has once again sparked speculation about her relationship status after fans spotted a potential connection to USMNT star Christian Pulisic during her European tour. Moroney shared several pictures from Italy over the weekend, drawing attention from fans who noticed that she appeared to be wearing a shirt similar to one Pulisic wore during a podcast appearance.

The social media clue comes after the pair were reportedly spotted together in Nashville following the USMNT 's disappointing World Cup exit in July. Pulisic visited Broadway and was seen with Moroney in the VIP section at Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row . The two were photographed smiling and enjoying the music together, adding to previous speculation about a possible relationship. Pulisic and Moroney also follow each other on Instagram. Their connection dates back further. Pulisic previously attended one of Moroney 's performances in Miami with his cousin during her 'Cloud 9' tour, and the trio posed together afterward. Moroney 's potential link to Pulisic comes despite saying earlier this summer that she was single. She explained that being unattached had allowed her to focus on her career while touring. “It's really nice that this is one of the first tours I've been on where I'm not dating anyone," Moroney told Cosmopolitan. "So I literally have no distractions. “And that sounds really silly, but there have been a lot of big moments and fun times that have been ruined by a guy for me. It's nice to just have a clear head.” The singer, who was previously linked to San Francisco 49ers star Nick Bosa , also acknowledged that romance could return to her life once her tour concludes. “There is something about having a crush that's exciting,” Moroney said. “And when my tour wraps up in October, when I'm back from Europe, I'll maybe be on the prowl again. “It'll be cuffing season, but right now, it's been so nice to have my friends and family out [with me] and that not be an aspect of my life that is any sort of problem for me.”

Why did Pulisic fall to bench for AC Milan clash with Benfica?

Pulisic 's return to action had offered AC Milan encouragement after a difficult summer, but the American remained among the substitutes for the Europa League meeting with Benfica . The 27-year-old had made his first appearance of the season against Lazio , entering from the bench and immediately providing an attacking spark as Milan fought back from a 2-0 deficit. His movement helped disrupt Lazio 's defense, while his involvement contributed to the first goal during the comeback. His performance appeared to strengthen his case for a larger role. However, Ruben Amorim opted for a cautious approach against Benfica , with Pulisic again starting on the bench before entering later in the 2-0 defeat. The decision was understandable given Pulisic 's recent injury history. He suffered a microfracture around his tibia during the United States' World Cup campaign before experiencing another setback after returning to Milan training. “He had an injury in the summer, and then in the first training session he took a knock and stopped,” Amorim previously explained. That history helps explain why Pulisic was left unused during Milan 's opening three Serie A matches despite being named in the squad.
