American singer-songwriter Maren Morris has publicly come out as bisexual, four months after finalizing her divorce from husband Ryan Hurd.
The 34-year-old Grammy winner made the announcement on Sunday in honor of LGBTQ+ Pride Month, following a concert performance in Phoenix, AZ. She shared the news on Instagram, captioning her post: "Happy to be the B in LGBTQ+, happy pride!"
Morris received supportive comments from Allison Ponthier and fellow musicians Kate Yeager, Lindsay Ell, Marielle Kraft, and Heather.
An outspoken ally of the LGBTQ+ community since 2022, Morris has partnered with GLAAD and served as a guest judge on the Emmy-winning reality competition RuPaul's Drag Race in 2023. Last year, she proudly performed at the Love Rising benefit in Nashville, protesting Tennessee legislation targeting cross-dressing performers, trans youth, and same-sex marriage.
Morris' announcement comes four months after she finalized her divorce from country singer Ryan Hurd. Morris pays $2,100 in child support each month to Hurd, whom she met in 2013 while co-writing Tim McGraw's track "Last Turn Home." The couple separated on October 2nd after five years of marriage.
