Maren Morris is getting candid about the challenges of divorce in a small town like Nashville, where she and ex-husband Ryan Hurd have mutual friends.

In a recent appearance on the podcast Therapuss with Jake Shane, the "Girl" singer, 35, shared that their friends had to "pick sides" after their divorce, which was finalized in January 2024.

"In Nashville, you know I've been divorced for a little over a year now. It's a small town, and we're all friends, and we all work together, and the music industry is very tiny there," Morris said.

Although Morris and Hurd, 38, are "really friendly," she said it's "weird" because their friends had to "pick sides" out of "respect for each other."

Morris explained, "I saw a really close friend of my ex's at a bar a couple months ago, and I was with my best friend. We all used to hang out together for a decade or more, and then it's like, 'Damn, it's just going to be kind of weird.' Maybe it's just going to be weird for the first few years."

Morris and Hurd, who share 5-year-old son Hayes, met in 2013 when they wrote "Last Turn Home" for Tim McGraw, but their romance didn't blossom until a few years later. They married in March 2018.

Morris filed for divorce in October 2023, and the exes reached a settlement agreement three months later.

In addition to talking about her divorce, Morris also spoke about how she realized that people who aren't "energetically aligned" started to "fade away" from her life as she got older.

She said, "I have these people who have been my ride or dies, but I feel like COVID changed a lot of people, when I had my son, I could feel people fall away."

Morris' comments come after she made an appearance on the Dear Chelsea podcast and revealed she and Hurd were able to move past a lot of their problems to put their son first.
