Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd have completed their divorce process, as a judge has approved and finalized the separation.
Based on legal papers obtained by People magazine, the two country singers officially ended their relationship in Nashville on Tuesday (Jan. 30). This comes shortly after they came to an agreement on how to divide their property and handle child support in early January.
The former partners have come to an agreement regarding financial support for their child. As stated in recent legal documents, Morris will provide $2,100 per month to Hurd, and they will share custody of their son. They have also decided to divide their assets according to the terms of their prenuptial agreement and settlement.
Morris and Hurd have not discussed their breakup much on social media. In a late 2023 interview on the Howard Stern Show, Morris mentioned that she was not considering dating again at that time.
She expressed her desire for the divorce process to be completed soon, as she is currently focused on writing and doesn't have the mental capacity to deal with it. She mentioned that writing music has become her way of expressing her emotions and experiences, almost like a form of dating for her.
