NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country music sensation Maren Morris has filed a divorce petition from her husband Ryan Hurd, citing “irreconcilable differences” after five years of marriage.
The divorce complaint was submitted by Morris in Nashville circuit court on October 2nd, stating that the couple has been separated since that date. The two tied the knot in March 2018.

According to the filing, Morris and Hurd “are unable to live together successfully as husband and wife and are experiencing irreconcilable differences in their marriage.” Morris has also completed a parenting seminar, which is usually required in divorce cases.
Representatives for Morris and Hurd have not yet provided a comment regarding the divorce filing.
