Country music songwriter and singer, Marren Morris has filed for divorce from her husband, Ryan Hurd after five years of marriage.
Morris, who originally tied the knot with Hurd in March 2018 suggested “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
Court records showed that Morris and Ryan were living together with their 3-year-old son, Hayes until the final day she filed for divorce.
Darren who has been open about her life previously revealed that she had postpartum depression after she gave birth to her son.
“I think a lot of identity crises happened there,” she told Willie in an interview that aired on Dec. 4, 2022.
“Not just being a new parent and a new mother and dealing with postpartum depression for the first time, and reeling from that, and trying to like to find the forest through the trees. But also just knowing my worth without someone clapping for me,” she said.
She also said her then-husband helped pull her out of her “pandemic doldrum.”
“He kind of just helped me in song form, and in just conversation form, figure out how to get to the light,” she said.
In the court documents for her divorce, Morris has asked that the prenuptial agreement the couple signed should be enforced and they should have joint custody of their son.
She also recently announced that she has taken a step back from making country music.
“I don’t want to say goodbye, but I really cannot participate in the really toxic arms of this institution anymore,” she said, adding that she loves Nashville in general.
“We have amazing songwriters (in Nashville), so that’s not going to change. But I couldn’t do this, like, sort of circus anymore of feeling like I have to absorb and explain people’s bad behaviors and laugh it off. I just couldn’t do that after 2020, particularly,” she said. “I’ve changed. A lot of things changed about me that year.”
