Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd’s story
Morris and Hurd first connected over music in 2013, co-writing Tim McGraw’s ‘Last Turn Home.’ Sparks flew by 2015, leading to an engagement in 2017 and a Nashville wedding in 2018. Their son Hayes arrived in 2020, but cracks showed amid Maren’s shift away from country roots. She filed for divorce in October 2023, citing irreconcilable differences, with the split finalized in January 2024.
Studio reunion raises eyebrows
The Instagram snap shows Hurd playfully grabbing Maren’s shoulder as they pose amid microphones and notebooks. Fans flooded the comments with heart emojis and speculation about a duet or album feature. This comes after Maren dropped her ‘The Bridge’ EP, signaling her pop evolution, while Ryan cheered her on publicly during tough times.Their post-divorce vibe stays friendly, centered on co-parenting Hayes, now five. Maren told People last year they navigate “so many emotions” but prioritize being “great parents.” She even joked about friends picking sides, calling divorce “weird,” yet stressed mutual respect endures. Ryan echoed this, noting their close proximity as neighbors helps with dad duties.Maren has been candid about personal growth since. On Howard Stern, she quipped about “cutting all the trauma out of my hair” and swore off dating until her head cleared. Coming out as bisexual in 2023 added layers to her story—with an Instagram post declaring her the “B in LGBTQ+.” Ryan supported her through industry backlash and her genre pivot.This studio moment feels like poetic closure. Music bonded them initially, and now it bridges their past. Will it birth a chart-topper like her smash ‘The Middle’? Or just a heartfelt co-parent collab? Fans hope it is the former. For two artists who weathered fame’s storms, teaming up again proves love for melody outlasts romance.
