Maren Morris Enjoys Tulum Getaway Amid Divorce and New Dating Life

TULUM, Mexico — Country singer Maren Morris, 34, is soaking up the sun and embracing a fresh chapter in her life during a girls’ trip to Tulum, Mexico. The Grammy-winning artist shared photos on Instagram Wednesday, January 23, showcasing her vacation vibes in a tiny black bikini while sipping from a coconut and enjoying downtime with friends.

Morris captioned the post, “The Texans head to Mexico 🤠,” highlighting her relaxed demeanor as she lounged beneath a palapa and played cards with her companions. The getaway comes after a transformative year for the singer, who finalized her divorce from songwriter Ryan Hurd in January 2024 after five years of marriage.

In a September 2024 interview on the “Armchair Expert” podcast, Morris opened up about navigating co-parenting with Hurd, with whom she shares a 4-year-old son, Hayes. “The co-parenting thing has been going well,” she said. “We’re trying our best in this way, but it’s still pretty fresh.”

Morris also discussed her new dating life, revealing she joined the exclusive dating app Raya after coming out as bisexual in June 2024. “Dating for the first time, like, in your 30s is wild, and Raya is wild,” she shared on the “Chicks in the Office” podcast. “I’ve had some good experiences from it and, luckily, nothing crazy traumatizing.”

The singer, who was previously linked to “Perfect Match” star Justin Assada, joked that her dating adventures are fueling her songwriting. “Dating right now is great and it’s fun, but I feel bad for saying this, it’s just giving me fodder for songwriting,” she said. “Like, ‘Sorry to be using you.’ It’s like helping me get into the POV, like an actor preparing.”

Morris’s Tulum trip marks a moment of relaxation and self-discovery following a year of significant personal changes. The singer, who rose to fame with hits like “My Church” and “The Middle,” continues to balance her career with her evolving personal life, proving that even amid challenges, she’s living her best life.
