Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd’s Family Album: See Pics With Their Son Hayes

Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd became parents in March 2020 with the arrival of their son, Hayes.

After giving birth, Morris detailed her emergency C-section after 30 hours of labor. “I learned pretty quickly that night that having a plan for bringing a human into the world is a fool’s errand,” she wrote via Instagram. “All that mattered was that he got here safely.”

The new mom went on to write, “Having him in the middle of [the coronavirus pandemic] was also not in the baby prep books, but here we are. Holding him and healing my body in a maternity ward that’s eerily quiet from us not being allowed visitors or family at this time, but strangely serene.”

Morris deleted a few photos of her newborn several months later after she was slammed by mom-shamers for sharing pics of herself and Hayes — who wasn't wearing a life jacket — sitting on a float in the lake.

“Honestly, I get so many criticisms of my motherhood on anything I post of Hayes, so I may just discontinue posting photos of him,” the American Music Award nominee wrote via Twitter at the time, “Sucks but it’s kind of where I’m at. … We talked about curbing posting photos anyway now that he’s a little bit older, but the added crap from (mostly other moms) folks definitely forced our hand.”

Hurd publicly defended Morris at the time — and continued to do so over the years as the twosome adjusted to parenting in the spotlight. In October 2023, however, Us confirmed Morris filed for divorce.
