When the bones are good, the rest don’t matter. Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd‘s love story has all the makings of a great country song.
Morris and Hurd met in a writing session. Tim McGraw’s song “Last Turn Home” in 2013.
“[Ryan’s] always been a creative collaborator in my life, that’s how we met,” Morris told Us WeeklyOnly in March 2019. “We were paired together six years ago to write a song. We didn’t know each other and it just kind of grew from there, so music has always been really intertwined in our love for each other, and now that we aren’t just songwriters, we’re artists.”
The two were close friends for two more years before their romance blossomed. Hurd detailed their love story in his 2017 song “Love in a Bar.”
“We were just friends, just hanging / Just sitting ’round waiting for somebody to cross the line,” he sings. “And we’ve been saying it with our eyes the whole time / That you have my whole heart.”
After a nearly two-year relationship, Hurd proposed in July 2017 to Morris. They were married in less than one year.
“I’ve learned so much from Keith UrbanAnd Nicole Kidman,” Morris told UsAbout how to deal with long-distance relationships “They’ve got the two-week rule; he’s got his kids out on the road. Ryan and I feel normal because it looks so normal. We do a good job of keeping in touch, lots of FaceTime. We have the same manager now, so she helps our calendars really coalesce well and that’s helped it a good bit. Especially now that we’re married, it’s a little bit more important to us to see each other. We try to have a good balance.”
Morris and Hurd became mothers in March 2020.
