Maren Morris Reflects on Divorce and Motherhood

Maren Morris has opened up about the emotional challenges she faced during her divorce from Ryan Hurd, crediting her 4-year-old son, Hayes, as her "partner in crime" who helped her navigate the difficult year. In an interview with People magazine, Morris expressed her desire to be a good mother, acknowledging the impact of the split on their young son. "I feel like there's so many emotions when you have a child with somebody and the relationship doesn't pan out," she said, emphasizing the need to maintain a brave front for Hayes. The couple finalized their divorce in January, utilizing a property settlement and prenuptial agreement to divide their assets. Morris cited "irreconcilable differences" in her divorce filing, stating that the parties were unable to live together successfully. The emotional toll of the separation has been significant, particularly for Hayes, who may be experiencing confusion due to the changes in his family dynamic. To strengthen their bond, Morris has taken Hayes on tour with her, describing their time on the road as a joyful experience. "He loves being on the road, which has been so much fun this summer," she shared, highlighting the special connection they have developed during their travels. The singer expressed her happiness in having her son accompany her, noting that their adventures together have created lasting memories. Morris and Hurd first met in 2013 while collaborating on a song for Tim McGraw, and their relationship has since evolved through both personal and professional challenges.
