After her divorce, Maren Morris reveals her dating rule: you and your future partner must have your shit together
The Grammy winner’s latest EP, “Intermission,” features songs about letting go of her divorce. After nearly six years of marriage, the Grammy winner, 34, and her ex-husband, Ryan Hurd, 37, formalized their divorce in January.
She is also starting to date again gradually and is not feeling pressured. Morris discusses what she discovered about herself and how the public split helped her come out stronger in this week’s PEOPLE magazine.
I believe that putting all of my energy into someone else is probably not a wise course of action. She tells PEOPLE, “I think it shifts the expectations, power, and entitlement a lot.” “I just have to give it everything I’ve got, and you really have to be an incredibly remarkable person.”
On her new EP Intermission, Morris—who gained popularity in 2016 with her soulful breakthrough country song “My Church”—discusses the challenging year she had. She declares, “I love my home, I love my friends, I love my career, and I love my baby [son Hayes, 4] with Hurd.”
“Those are all self-made items that I find meaningful. I won’t let someone into my life unless they make everything else more intense. They cannot result in a net loss.
I really mean it when I say that they cannot deplete my resources. materially, psychologically, and spiritually.
At this stage, you really have to have your sh*t together if you want to be in my life at all.
