Maren Morris and her ex-husband, Ryan Hurd, can amicably share a meal two years after their divorce.
“Sometimes you gotta get a beer with your ex and pretend it’s 2015,” Morris, 36, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, May 16. “Except now you’re coparenting.”
Morris uploaded a photo from across a table where Hurd, 39, was seen scrolling on his smartphone.
Morris and Hurd were married from 2018 to 2023. The two country singers finalized their divorce the following year, agreeing to share custody of 6-year-old son Hayes.
Since then, Morris and Hurd have put any animosity or bad blood behind them.
“We’re over a year out now … [and] we get along now and have moved past a lot of it,” The “Bones” singer said on the “Dear Chelsea” podcast in June 2025 of their coparenting dynamic. “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.”
She continued, “I’m lucky that we love each other so much still. 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. I think, ultimately, we both knew it was probably going to be better this way, which is a success.”
Morris further stressed 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 stated. “The person you marry is not the person you divorce, and … just the hardest part is knowing that it’s not the same.”
For Morris, following a judge’s order of custody schedules helped her deal with the then-new situation.
“That’s very bizarre, but also gives me comfort to know that,” she said, detailing the Tennessee custody court 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. 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 publicly came out as bisexual following their divorce.
