In court documents obtained by Page Six, the “Bones” singer filed for the dissolution of her marriage on Oct. 2, 2023. She cited “irreconcilable differences” for the split.
A judge has upheld a property settlement agreement and a prenuptial agreement the exes had in place.
Hurd is expected to pay Morris $2,100 in monthly child support for their son, though the couple will share custody of the 4-year-old.

The split appeared to have come abruptly as Morris listed that the date of their separation is the same as the date she filed.
Morris and Hurd began dating in 2015 after being friends for several years. They got engaged in 2017 and tied the knot less than a year later in 2018.
The musicians welcomed their first and only child together, Hayes, in March 2020.

Less than two weeks before filing for divorce from Hurd, Morris announced that she was quitting country music due to how “toxic” the industry had gotten.
The singer said she felt “rightfully cynical” about what the genre has become and could no longer “participate in the really toxic arms” of country music in Nashville.
“I love living in Nashville, I have my family,” she said on the New York Times’ “Popcast” podcast. “There’s a reason why people come there from L.A. and New York to write with us. It’s because we have amazing songwriters there. That’s not gonna change.”

“We have amazing songwriters there, so that’s not going to change,” she went on.
“I couldn’t do this circus anymore — feeling like l have to absorb and explain people’s bad behaviors and laugh it off. I just couldn’t do that after 2020 particularly. I’ve changed. A lot of things changed about me that year.”
