Maren Morris Recalls ‘Depressing’ 1st Relationship With a Woman After Coming Out as Bisexual

Maren Morris is getting candid about her bisexual journey almost two years after coming out.

Posting via her TikTok account on Wednesday, April 15, the country singer, 36, detailed a “f***ed up” experience she endured during a short-lived same-sex romance.

“I briefly was seeing a woman and I was not looking for anything serious,” Morris recalled in the clip. “I feel like I’m at a point in my life right now where I don’t have that to give. I was very clear about that because I’m all about communication, and she was like, ‘Oh, totally. I’m down.’”

Morris went on to explain she soon realized that the other woman appeared to want something a little more serious than the singer was prepared to offer – and the relationship rapidly went downhill.

“I’m not kidding, within like, three weeks of this completely falling apart, it was lies, threats to my reputation and borderline extortion,” Morris shared.

She added, “It was pretty f***ed up. And for that to be my first experience, it was just so depressing.”

Morris has previously spoken about navigating dating after coming out as bisexual in 2024 following her divorce from fellow singer Ryan Hurd.

“I also have, like, confusion sometimes because I can connect with a woman, any woman within like two minutes,” Morris said on Betches’ “U Up?” podcast in May 2025. “We’ll be talking about our childhoods. We’ll be talking about the bully when we were 13. We will get into it so quickly. With a guy, that would take like years to get into that trauma.”

The Grammy winner also shared there were sometimes moments of confusion for her when it came to trying to date women.

“Sometimes I just love a woman and we’re friends. Then she’s giving me a vibe of, like, she’s gonna kiss me, and I feel like we’re just friends, but I really connect with you on this emotionally deep level,” Morris said. “That’s where I sometimes have the hard delineation of romance versus friendship because women can connect so quickly and easily, which is a magical thing about us, but that’s the comparison, I guess, to dating men.”

Morris finalized her divorce from country singer Hurd in January 2024, three months after filing. The pair were married for five years after meeting in 2013 while cowriting the Tim McGraw song, “Last Turn Home.” Morris and Hurd confirmed they were dating in 2015 and married in Nashville in 2018.

Morris came out as bisexual in June 2024 via a pride post on Instagram, writing at the time, “Happy to be the B in LGBTQ+ happy pride 🌈.”
