Maren Morris, the talented singer-songwriter known for her hit song "My Church," has recently announced her split from her husband, Ryan Hurd. The couple, who share a three-year-old son named Hayes Andrew, filed for divorce on 2 October after being married for five years. Irreconcilable differences were cited as the reason for their separation, according to documents obtained by US Weekly.

The divorce papers, filed in Tennessee, state that the separation date coincides with the day the petition was submitted. It is worth noting that Maren and Ryan had a pre-nuptial agreement in place.

This news comes shortly after Ryan publicly praised Maren for her decision to step away from the country music scene. Maren expressed feeling "very, very distanced" from the industry and its politics. In an Instagram post, Ryan expressed his support for his wife, stating that she deserves to be celebrated rather than tolerated. He also expressed his frustration with the harsh criticism she receives online and the lack of understanding surrounding her stance on important issues such as racism and homophobia. Ryan eagerly looks forward to Maren's future tours and the positive impact her music will have on fans who resonate with her message.

Maren and Ryan's love story began in 2013 when they first met. However, they did not start dating until December 2015. Their connection was undeniable, fueled by their shared passion for songwriting. Despite initially avoiding a romantic relationship, they eventually realized the strength of their bond and decided to take their friendship to the next level. They got engaged in 2017 and tied the knot in March 2018.

Reflecting on their early days together, Maren spoke to People magazine about the undeniable chemistry they had while writing songs. Their strong foundation as collaborators eventually led them to question why they were avoiding a romantic relationship. It was clear that their connection went beyond friendship, and they decided to embrace their love for each other.

While the news of Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd's divorce is undoubtedly heartbreaking, it is important to respect their privacy during this difficult time. Their journey as a couple has had its ups and downs, but their dedication to their son and their shared love for music will undoubtedly guide them through this challenging chapter.
