Maren Morris opened up about her split from husband Ryan Hurd, two months after the 33-year-old singer filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences.”
Speaking to Howard Stern on SiriusXM Wednesday (Dec. 13), Morris said that her breakup from the 37-year-old songwriter is still unfolding. “It’s ongoing,” she said.
“I would like the divorce to sort of wrap up,” she continued when Stern asked her whether she’s ready to start dating again. “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.”
“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,” she added on the show, noting that she “cut all the trauma out of my hair,” in reference to her new bob hairstyle. “I’ve known so many people that have gone through breakups or divorces.”
Morris also spoke about getting rejected from several major singing competition shows, including American Idol, America’s Got Talent and The Voice. “It sucked, it hurt for sure,” she admitted. “I’m so lucky that they did say no,’ because I was not ready to be in the limelight. The music was not there, my voice was still maturing … I would’ve been a f–king nightmare.”
