American singer-songwriter, Maren Morris has publicly come out as bisexual four months after finalizing her divorce from her husband Ryan Hurd. The 34-year-old Grammy winner announced on Sunday, in honour of LGBTQAI Pride month, after performing a concert in Phoenix, AZ. She captioned her Instagram announcement: ‘Happy to be the B in LGBTQ+, happy pride!’
Maren received supportive comments from Allison Ponthier as well as fellow songstresses Kate Yeager, Lindsay Ell, Marielle Kraft, and Heather. The singer has been an outspoken ally for the LGBTQAI community since 2022, partnering with GLAAD and serving guest judging duties on the five-time Emmy-winning reality competition RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2023.
Last year, Morris proudly performed at the Love Rising benefit held in Nashville which protested Tennessee legislation aimed at cross-dressing performers, trans youth, and same-sex marriage. Morris’ announcement came four months after she finalized her divorce from country crooner Ryan Hurd, whom she pays $2,100 in child support each month. The Tree singer and the 37-year-old Grammy nominee, who originally met in 2013 while co-writing Tim McGraw’s 2014 track Last Turn Home, separated on October 2nd after five years of marriage.
