Country Singer Maren Morris Comes Out As Bisexual Post-Divorce
In a bold announcement that shook the country music scene, Maren Morris revealed on social media that she identifies as bisexual, coinciding with her recent divorce from musician Ryan Hurd. Sharing her message during Pride Month, she posted on Instagram, “Happy to be the B in LGBTQ+, happy pride!” alongside photos from a performance where she held a pride flag.
Speculation about her sexuality had been fueled by affectionate moments with other women, but her public declaration solidified her stance. Morris has consistently embraced LGBT issues, often clashing with conservative elements in the country genre. Her support for taking her son to a drag show and her fierce response to Tennessee’s anti-drag legislation—where she invited authorities to “f***ing arrest” her—highlight her commitment to activism.
In interviews, Morris has criticized the country music industry’s shift towards a hyper-masculine, conservative ethos, which she calls “butt rock.” Despite mixed reactions, her journey exemplifies the power of authenticity and self-expression in a challenging environment. Maren Morris remains unafraid to speak her truth and advocate for change, both on and off the stage.
