Maren Morris is getting candid about her divorce from Ryan Hurd.
In an appearance on Howard Stern‘s SiriusXM show on Wednesday, the country star said her new short hairstyle is very much a reaction to her sad split, teasing:
“I cut all the trauma out of my hair. 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. I’ve known so many people that have gone through breakups or divorces.”
As for the status of her breakup, she said the legal matter is “ongoing.”

As Perezcious readers know, the My Church artist filed for a divorce in early October after five years of marriage. The whole thing reportedly came “out of the blue” for her hubby, who “wasn’t expecting it,” according to a previous Us Weekly source. That said, the same insider noted the pair are “opposites” which could have made the relationship “difficult,” though an official reason for the split hasn’t been made clear by either performer (aside from the standard “irreconcilable differences” claim).
Since the filing, the Chasing After You crooner has stayed mum on the split while The Bones singer has hinted at the hard time via cryptic posts. Interestingly, the co-parents of 3-year-old son Hayes Andrew were able to put their differences aside to go trick-or-treating with the child shortly after the breakup was made public. So, that’s good!
But it wasn’t long after that the 33-year-old joked about needing to chop off her hair amid an “existential crisis,” teasing in mid-November via her Instagram Story:
“The annual existential crisis: cut all hair off, adopt a dog, get back on antidepressants.”
Well, looks like she got to that haircut! We hope it’s helping her turn the page to a (hopefully happier) new chapter! In the meantime, she’s focused on her music and trying to heal from the end of her marriage — and certainly not out on the market yet, she told Howard:
“I would like this to sort of wrap up [this divorce before 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.”
Always good to have an outlet at a time like this! And if she’s anything like Kelsea Ballerini, a hit breakup album could be headed our way soon! See her explain her emotional state right now (below):
