Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd have completed the process of their divorce, with a judge officially approving the finalization of their split.
Based on legal records obtained by People, the two musicians from the country genre officially ended their relationship in Nashville on Tuesday, January 30th. This occurred 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 on how they will handle child support. As outlined in the documents submitted recently, Morris will give Hurd $2,100 every month and they will both share custody of their son. Additionally, they have agreed on how to divide their property according to the prenuptial agreement and settlement terms.
Morris and Hurd have not said much about their breakup 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 mentioned that she wants the divorce process to be completed soon, as she is currently focused on other things and doesn't have the mental capacity to deal with it at the moment. She also stated that she is writing a lot at the moment, and for her, songwriting has become a way to express her feelings and experiences, almost like a form of dating.
