Maren Morris is breaking her silence regarding her ‘ongoing’ divorce from estranged husband Ryan Hurd, two months after filing to end the marriage.

After Morris was asked about her new look during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, she joked that she “cut all the trauma out of my hair” when she got her short bob: “I think this year has — for a lot of people, not just me — a lot of people that are close to me have gone through it. I’ve known so many people that have gone through breakups or divorces.” When Stern noted that Morris, 33, herself “went through a divorce this year,” she replied, “It’s ongoing. … I would like this to sort of wrap up.” Morris later said that she wasn’t thinking about dating again, adding, “I don’t have the headspace for that yet. But I’m writing so much right now. That’s kind of been my way of dating, is just through song.”

Morris filed for divorce on October 2, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.  The former couple tied the knot in 2018, and welcomed son Hayes Andrew Hurd on March 23, 2020, just a day before their second wedding anniversary.
