Maren Morris is celebrating Pride Month in a big way.
On June 9, the singer revealed that she is bisexual and shared several photos of herself holding a pride flag to mark the occasion.
“Happy to be the B in LGBTQ+,” she wrote on Instagram. “Happy pride 🌈.”
The 34-year-old’s followers quickly took to the comments to share their support.
“Crying! So happy for you! Happy Pride, bb! ❤️🌈,” musician Heather Mae wrote.
“Love you so much Maren!!!!!!” singer Scott Hoying commented.

In October 2023, Morris filed for divorce from her husband of five years, musician Ryan Hurd, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The couple shares one child, a 4-year-old son named Hayes. The divorce was finalized in January.
While chatting with TODAY’s Willie Geist in 2022, the new mom said she experienced postpartum depression and “a lot of identity crises” after her son was born.
“Not just being a new parent and a new mother and dealing with postpartum depression for the first time, and reeling from that, and trying to like find the forest through the trees. But also just knowing my worth without someone clapping for me,” she said.
In January 2023, Morris commented about the lack of inclusivity in country music.
“Coming from country music and its relationship with LGBTQ+ members, I just want to say I’m sorry,” she said during an appearance on “RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked.”
“And I love you guys for making me feel like a brave voice in country music. So, I just thank you guys so much for inspiring me.”
While chatting with Ellen DeGeneres in 2021, Morris also spoke about the need for inclusivity in her industry. She specifically shouted out T.J. Osborne of Brothers Osborne, who had come out as gay that year.
“I hope that him having the bravery to even do that has made a few more people that love country music that are gay feel like they have a home there too,” she said. “I’m so proud of him. He was one of my first friends when I moved to Nashville eight years ago. He’s just so talented, so kind. For him to put it all out there is just, I’m not a sliver of that brave so I’m really proud of T.J.”
Morris and The Brothers Osborne collaborated on the song “All My Favorite People” in 2022. “It is who it is and we love who we love,” they sing
