Using her pride month post to make a personal announcement.
Last fall, Maren Morris filed for divorce from her husband, fellow singer and songwriter Ryan Hurd. The split came shortly after Hurd took to social media to defend his wife amid criticism she was receiving after announcing that she would be leaving country music (which she’s since walked back and claimed she never said).
In filing for divorce, Maren cited “irreconcilable differences” as reason for split. But a report from Life & Style Magazine cited an inside source in reporting that problems may have arisen between the two after Maren’s public statements began impacting her husband’s songwriting career:
“All he wanted to do was write music, but some of the people Ryan writes with are people Maren has made mad, and it caused a huge problem between them.”
Regardless of the reason for the split, the divorce was finalized earlier this year, and Maren and Hurd are now both free to see other women.
Wait, what?
You read that right: In an Instagram post celebrating pride month (which is celebrated every June, as I’m sure you’ve seen from all of the social media posts), Maren announced that she is bisexual:
“happy to be the B in LGBTQ+
happy pride”

The announcement comes along with photos of Maren from a stop on her current RSVP Redux tour, including several of her holding a pride flag.
As far as her current dating life, Maren told Us Magazine back in February that she wasn’t in any hurry to get into another relationship following her divorce:
“I feel like for so long, just being an artist and taking care of a lot of people on the road, you get so used to being the boss. I sort of lost sight of truly taking care of myself. I feel like this is just a perfect moment for me to make that statement.”
