Maren Morris and her ex-husband, Ryan Hurd, are thriving as coparents – so much so that that country singer shared a Father’s Day tribute in her ex’s honor.

“Happy Father’s Day, R,” Morris, 36, wrote via Instagram Stories on Sunday, June 21, alongside a throwback snap of a shirtless Hurd, 39, performing skin-to-skin with then-newborn son Hayes.
Morris and Hurd welcomed their son in March 2020, nearly three years before they separated. The “Bones” singer and Hurd finalized their divorce in January 2024 after five years of marriage.
Since then, Morris and Hurd have remained committed to putting Hayes first as they navigate their coparenting relationship.
“We’re over a year out now … [and] we get along now and have moved past a lot of it,” Morris said on a June 2025 episode of the “Dear Chelsea” podcast of their post-split dynamic. “We’re neighbors, and I’m just so fortunate that we have put our son above each other’s s***, and it’s better for the two of us if we’re getting along.”
She continued, “I’m lucky that we love each other so much still. We have the highest respect, but also there is that devastation that two people [who] love each other that much can’t make it work in the real world. It’s always going to be multifaceted. I think, ultimately, we both knew it was probably going to be better this way, which is a success.”

At the time, Morris gushed that she and Hurd are “great coparents.”
“We’ve let each other go in that romantic sense, even though we still have so much love and history,” Morris added. “The person you marry is not the person you divorce, and … just the hardest part is knowing that it’s not the same.”
Morris further found that following the judge’s ruling about split custody schedules helped her adjust to their new normal.
“That’s very bizarre, but also gives me comfort to know that,” she said, referring to the custody process in Tennessee. “The state has given us this split and we have to abide by it, so there’s no, ‘Well, do you get Easter or do I?’ It’s in writing, and that takes us and our emotions out of it, which is really helpful for both of us. I won’t say [it is] easy, and we do coparent super well now, but you just have to allow yourself that time to feel all the feelings.”
Morris, who publicly came out as bisexual following their divorce, also honored her own father on Sunday.
