Maren Morris Weighs In on Co-Parenting After Splitting From Ryan Hurd

It’s been two years since Maren Morris and country singer Ryan Hurd divorced. The singer has done a lot of introspection since then. One of the biggest revelations is her bisexuality, something she admits she was always aware of, but struggled with. “I never felt brave enough to talk about it,” she told The Zoe Report.

On a recent episode of Chelsea Handler’s podcast, “Dear Chelsea,” Morris delved into her life since the divorce. She spoke with Handler about her “growth spurt” over the past five years. One aspect of this is her co-parenting relationship, which Morris couldn’t feel more proud of.

Morris Says She and Hurd Have ‘Moved Past’ Their Issues: ‘We Both Knew It Was Probably Going to Be Better’

“We get along now and have moved past a lot of it,” Maren Morris said about her relationship with Hurd. “We’re neighbors, and I’m just so fortunate that we have put our son above each other’s [expletive], and it’s better for the two of us if we’re getting along, obviously, as well as, like, co-parenting our son.”

“I’m lucky that we love each other so much still, and we have the highest respect,” the “My Church” singer said. “But also, there is that devastation that two people who love each other that much can’t make it work in the real world. Yeah.”

“It’s always going to be multifaceted,” she went on. “But I think, ultimately, we both knew it was probably going to be better this way, which is a success.”

Morris Has No Regrets About Split: ‘I Feel Like I Sleep Better’

Morris admits that she’s lucky because there is still a lot of love remaining between her and Hurd, which makes co-parenting easier. The two even have family dinners. But, while there’s “so much love and history,” she also makes it clear she has no regrets.

“No part of me ever wakes up at 3:00 in the morning and is like, ‘I’ve made a huge mistake,'” she told Handler. “Like I feel like I sleep better because my body can finally relax and knows that it made the tough but right decision.” She even found some things she loves since they split up.

“I love living alone,” she admitted. “I love having my space, that’s very sacred. I think just not sharing a closet with someone, or a bathroom counter. I can have all my [expletive] everywhere.”

“The liberation of home,” she added, laughing.
