Maren Morris has shared an update about her dating life just two months after filing for divorce from Ryan Hurd. She appeared on “The Howard Stern Show” this week, and he asked her where she stands with her dating life.
She said that she was more focused on getting her divorce wrapped up first. But that wasn’t all she had to say. She went even further, saying, “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.”

Maren filed for divorce on October 2nd, 2023. In Tennessee, there’s a 90-day waiting period for couples with minor children. Maren and Ryan are parents to their almost four-year-old son, Hayes.
Rumors swirled that they might be attempting to reconcile last month after she posted a video of the former couple giving their son a bath together. But she confirmed that that was not the case during her appearance on “The Howard Stern Show,” where she spoke openly about the divorce.
Ryan and Maren’s Divorce Isn’t Finalized Yet
Ryan has yet to respond to Maren’s filing. Because of the 90-day waiting period, the absolute earliest that the two could be divorced is December 31, 2023.

Neither have spoken out about the actual reason for the divorce, but Life & Style Magazine claimed to have insider knowledge that his career as a songwriter in Nashville was suffering because she was becoming more and more outspoken about politics in country music.
“All he wanted to do was write music, but some of the people Ryan writes with are people Maren has made mad, and it caused a huge problem between them,” an inside source allegedly told Life & Style Magazine.
What Ryan and Maren Have Been Up to Post-Divorce
However, Ryan was always loudly supportive of his now-estranged wife in interviews and on social media. His last Instagram post before Maren filed for divorce was in support of her decision to step away from country music.
Since the filing, he seems to be taking some time for himself. Two weeks ago, he posted pictures of himself on vacation in the Bahamas. And just a couple of days ago, he posted pictures of himself in the mountains on vacation in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Maren, on the other hand, has spent the time since filing for divorce walking back a lot of her statements about her feelings on country music. Originally, she said that she was retiring from country music, but she has since said that she simply meant that she was leaving the toxic parts of country music behind.

2023 was a year of transformation for Maren. She left country music, even though she later backtracked, an industry that she’s been a part of for over a decade. She also filed for divorce from her husband of five years. One thing is for sure: She is focused on music more than love right now.
