00:00 Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd have broken up after five years of marriage.
00:06 According to court documents obtained by People and Us Weekly, Maren, who shares 3-year-old
00:11 son Hayes with Ryan, submitted paperwork on October 2nd, citing "irreconcilable differences"
00:18 as the reason for their breakup.
00:21 E! News has reached out to reps for Maren and Ryan for comment and has not yet heard
00:26 back.
00:27 The relationship news comes just weeks after Ryan, who wed Maren in March of 2018, came
00:34 to her defense as she said goodbye to country music.
00:38 Ryan wrote on Instagram alongside cover art for her new music project, The Bridge, "She
00:44 deserves to be celebrated, not just tolerated.
00:48 I love the response from people who don't just love these two songs.
00:52 They needed them.
00:53 I knew it would strike a chord."
00:56 Maren recently admitted on the New York Times' Popcast podcast that she couldn't tolerate
01:01 certain behavior in the country music scene any longer and received some criticism over
01:08 her exit.
01:09 Ryan continued in his Instagram message, saying, "I'm so sick of watching my wife get the
01:16 b***h kicked out of her by the internet.
01:19 I'm sick of every talking head having some kind of stupid opinion about what she says.
01:25 It's the same every time.
01:27 Why are you surprised when she calls out something racist or homophobic?
01:31 I'm sick of people getting rewarded for it."
01:34 Back in February, Ryan was by Maren's side at the 2023 Grammys, where they were nominated
01:41 in the Best Country Song category for circles around this town.
01:46 At the time, Ryan told E!'s Live From the Red Carpet, "We met writing songs, so this
01:52 is a really cool night for us because we're nominated together for a country song.
01:57 I'm so proud of her.
01:59 This is just an amazing thing."
