Ryan Hurd ‘wasn’t expecting’ Maren Morris to seek divorce
Hurd and Morris, 33, who got married in 2018 after getting engaged in 2017, separated early this month.
From the court document obtained by Us Weekly, it was revealed that the Grammy-winning musician Morris filed for divorce on October 2 citing “irreconcilable differences."
Hurd, however, “wasn’t expecting it.” A source told Us Weekly that Morris’s decision to file for divorce “seems to have come out of the blue.”
The source further claimed that Hurd and Morris are “opposites,” which probably made the situation “difficult.”
Another source close to the couple revealed to Daily Mail that Hurd is “heartbroken” with the shock split.
The source revealed, “Ryan still loves Maren and is not taking the divorce that well. He is heartbroken.”
