According to US, Morris cited “irreconcilable differences” and filed for divorce from Hurd on October 2. The two have a prenup in place.
Morris and Hurd wed in March 2018 after meeting during a songwriting session for Tim McGraw. They welcomed their first child, Hayes on March 23, 2020.
The former couple were also frequent collaborators when it came to music. Some of their most noteworthy songs together include the 2022 hit, “Chasing After You” and Morris single, “I Can’t Love You Any More,” featuring Hurd.
The divorce isn’t the only big change for Maren as she recently revealed she’s chosen to leave the Country genre, a space she’s dominated since her debut single, “My Church,” in 2016.
Iin an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Morris stated she’d “take a step back” from the genre after being fed up with the politics and feeling “distant.”
“I thought I’d like to burn it to the ground and start over,” Morris shared of Country music in the interview. “But it’s burning itself down without my help.”
According to Morris, future music will be released via Columbia Records, instead of her former label, Columbia Nashville. Both are branches of Sony Music.
