Maren Morris Says She Feels Like a 'Toddler' at Dating After Divorce, Believes Men Know How to 'Cosplay Intimacy So Well'
Maren Morris is getting used to dating again.
In an interview with The Cut published on Friday, May 9, the country star opened up about the challenges she's found in dating following her divorce from ex-husband Ryan Hurd.
Morris, 35, revealed that she joined the dating app Raya, where she swipes through men and women when she's not working.
"I feel like a toddler at dating, all knock-kneed,' she told the publication.
Morris also called out the 'new mutant strain of fake liberal men … who pose as progressive dudes on dating apps.'
However, she's since learned certain dating red flags from TikTok like 'maladaptive daydreaming, limerence, and avoidant attachment' from Gen Z.
Still, Morris said she someone she was seeing introduced her to his friends and he "completely imploded."
'I'm kind of realizing, with men especially, that they know how to cosplay intimacy so well,' said the "Carry Me Through" singer.
Elsewhere in the interview, Morris opened up about why her new album Dreamsicle, which dropped Friday, May 9, isn't a divorce album.
'It's actually, to me, what happens after divorce,' she told the outlet. "I'm not documenting what happened during the relationship; I'm documenting the grief, anger, and sadness that follows, and the vulnerability of putting yourself back out there again … of reconnecting with your female friends and yourself.'

In 2013, Morris met Hurd, 38, while writing "Last Turn Home" for Tim McGraw. However, their romance didn't blossom until a few years later.
The former couple married in March 2018 and welcomed their 5-year-old son, Hayes, in March 2020.
The "Cry in the Car" artist filed for divorce in October 2023, and the exes reached a settlement agreement three months later. In January 2024, they finalized their divorce.
"There [are] so many emotions when you have a child with somebody and the relationship doesn't pan out," Morris told PEOPLE in an August 2024 interview. "I feel like Ryan and I have done a really great job at just being great parents for him."

Taylor Swift Sneakily Attended a Wedding With Travis Kelce in a Strapless Blue Dress
This week, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were guests at a backyard wedding in Tennessee and though all eyes were on the bride and groom, some pictures of the famous couple showed them having a romantic evening of their own. The dress code appeared to be summer casual and Swift fit in perfectly in a strapless blue dress with a small flower pattern, structured bodice, and flowing skirt that ended at her ankles. On her feet, she wore tan high-heeled sandals. The Eras Tour star had her hair half up and wore a bracelet and small pieces of jewelry for accessories. Kelce was wearing dress pants and a short-sleeved button-down shirt in brown. In a TikTok shared by creator @laurenelizabethduhhh, Swift and Kelce can be seen seated side-by-side at a long table, watching the newly wedded couple enjoy their first dance. Swift starts swaying to the music and Kelce joins her in a cute shared moment. Since the end of the NFL season in February, Swift and Kelce have been enjoying some quality time together out of the spotlight. This week, they were seen in Florida together, where Swift wore a classic little black dress to their dinner date. Just before the images of their date night started circulating, a source told Us Weekly that the two were keeping a low profile on purpose right now. 'They are making fewer public appearances together because [their relationship] brings too much unwanted attention, but there isn't trouble in paradise,' the insider explained. A second source shared that Swift has been living in both Miami, where Kelce has been training during his offseason, and New York: 'Taylor has been coming and going to Florida and is still spending a lot of her time in NYC.' And it appears she's making some special time for Tennessee.
