Country music sensation Maren Morris has captivated audiences with her music since the release of her hit single “My Church” in 2016.
However, there is more to the Grammy-winning singer than just her musical talent – she is also a devoted mother. Here’s everything we know about Maren Morris and her family.
Maren Morris shares a son, Hayes Andrew Hurd, with her ex-husband, Ryan Hurd. The former couple welcomed Hayes into the world in 2020, after tying the knot on March 24, 2018. Unfortunately, their relationship came to an end in October 2023, with their divorce being finalized in January 2024.
Following her split from Ryan, Maren opened up about the challenges of starting anew, stating on The Howard Stern Show, “I cut all the trauma out of my hair.” She reflected on the many people close to her who had gone through similar experiences, emphasizing the importance of self-care and healing.
In a bold and empowering move, Maren Morris publicly came out as bisexual in June 2024, during Pride month. Sharing a photo on Instagram holding a Pride flag, she proudly declared, “Happy to be the B in LGBTQ+.”
Despite facing some criticism for her parenting choices, such as taking her son to a drag show in Tennessee, Maren has stood by her decisions. She defended her actions by highlighting the artistry and creativity displayed at the event, emphasizing the importance of normalizing such expressions of art.
Maren’s ex-husband, Ryan Hurd, is also a talented country singer and songwriter, known for hits like “Chasing After You,” a duet he released with Maren in 2021. With a successful career of his own, Ryan has made a name for himself in the music industry, writing songs for top artists like Blake Shelton and Lady A.
