Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd‘s love story had all the makings of a great country song before they called it quits.
Morris and Hurd met during a writing session for Tim McGraw’s song “Last Turn Home” in 2013. The duo were friends for two years before their relationship turned romantic. Hurd detailed their journey in his 2017 song “Love in a Bar.”
“We were just friends, just hanging / Just sitting ’round waiting for somebody to cross the line,” he sings. “And we’ve been saying it with our eyes the whole time / That you have my whole heart.”
Hurd proposed to Morris in July 2017, and the couple wed in March 2018. One year later, Morris gushed about married life.
“I’ve learned so much from Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman,” she exclusively told Us Weekly about maintaining a romance on the road. “They’ve got the two-week rule … They just make it look so normal and it makes me and Ryan feel like this could be normal as well. … We try to have a good balance.”
Morris and Hurd became parents in March 2020, marking their fifth wedding anniversary three years later. In October 2023, Us confirmed Morris filed for divorce.
