Maren Morris Gives Update on Coparenting With Ex-Husband Ryan Hurd: ‘Better This Way'
Maren Morris and ex-husband Ryan Hurd eventually found their stride coparenting 5-year-old son Hayes. 'We're over a year out now … [and] we get along now and have moved past a lot of it,' Morris, 35, recalled of her divorce during the Thursday, June 5, episode of the 'Dear Chelsea' podcast. 'We're neighbors, and I'm just so fortunate that we have put our son above each other's s***, and it's better for the two of us if we're getting along.' Morris and Hurd, 38, split in 2023 after five years of marriage. They finalized their divorce in 2024, splitting joint custody of Hayes. 'I'm lucky that we love each other so much still,' Morris, who publicly came out as bisexual following their divorce, gushed. 'We have the highest respect, but also there is that devastation that two people [who] love each other that much can't make it work in the real world. It's always going to be multifaceted.' Maren Morris Details Coparenting With Ex-Husband Ryan Hurd, Gives Post-Split Dating Update She added, 'I think, ultimately, we both knew it was probably going to be better this way, which is a success.' Later on the podcast, Morris reiterated that she and Hurd are 'great coparents.' 'We've let each other go in that romantic sense, even though we still have so much love and history,' Morris said. 'The person you marry is not the person you divorce, and … just the hardest part is knowing that it's not the same.' According to Morris, it was especially helpful that the judge in her and Hurd's divorce case told them 'how to split the coparenting schedule.' Ryan Hurd 'Wasn't Expecting' Maren Morris to File for Divorce 'Out of the Blue' 'That's very bizarre, but also gives me comfort to know that,' she said of the Tennessee legal process. 'The state has given us this split and we have to abide by it, so there's no, 'Well, do you get Easter or do I?' It's in writing, and that takes us and our emotions out of it, which is really helpful for both of us.' She continued, 'I won't say [it is] easy, and we do coparent super well now, but you just have to allow yourself that time to feel all the feelings.' Morris further stated that she 'feels like a woman' following the breakup, which taught her new lessons. 'I love living alone,' she said. 'Love having my space, that's very sacred [and] just not sharing a closet with someone or bathroom counter. I can have all my s*** everywhere. That feels very womanly to me. It's just, like, the liberation of home [and] space in your house, [which] is so nice.'
