Morris, Hurd engaged
They made the announcement via social media on Sunday. Pictures on Twitter and Instagram showed Morris wearing an engagement ring with the word "Yes!" in the postings. Hurt posted a picture on his Twitter account of the two in a rowboat with the words "7/3/17."
Morris has enjoyed much success as a result of her major label album, "Hero," which spawned the hits "My Church" and "80s Mercedes."
Hurd, a Michigan native, has had success as a songwriter and is a recording artist in his own right. He is currently on RCA and has released several EPs.
The two met in 2013 when put together to write songs. They penned "Last Turn Home," which Tim McGraw cut the very next day.
Hurd also wrote a song about his relationship with Morris, "Love in a Bar."
Hurd is currently touring with Florida Georgia Line, while Morris is on Sam Hunt's tour. Hurd and Morris will tour together this fall.

His resume includes the likes of Pink and Sia, but not many country-related artists. Furthermore, it wasn't too long ago that Morris had big hit with "The Middle," a decidedly pop hit single recorded with the Russian-German producer, Zedd. This album's results are not as overtly pop as that recording, but not as country as her country hit "My Church. ...
Ryan Hurd may well end up being the biggest musical thing out of Kalamazoo, Mich. (does anyone remember The Verve Pipe?) without anybody's help. So far, he's carved out a mild hit for himself ("To a T") and secured a deal with a big label who have high hopes. Hurd's sizzle factor grew exponentially when he married country superstar Maren Morris in 2018.
The idea of this almost-an-album (seven tracks) is - mostly -- a slower take on songs that Hurd had some hand in writing. ...
