MAREN & RYAN'S DUET SURPRISE! Ex-Couple Reunites on Unreleased Track
Country stars Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd are back in the studio together—and they're laughing about why they can't be friends.
Talk about a plot twist! Maren Morris and ex-husband Ryan Hurd have reunited to release "We Can't Be Friends," an unreleased track from way back in 2016, and the 36-year-old singer is dishing on the whole thing with nothing but good vibes. "What a hilarious song for us to be revisiting," Morris told Us Weekly, cracking up over the irony of revisiting a cheeky hookup anthem with her former flame.
The pair's love story reads like a country ballad itself: they met during a writing session for Tim McGraw's "Last Turn Home" back in 2013, spent two years as friends, and eventually let sparks fly. But while their romantic chapter closed, it sounds like these two have found their groove as collaborators—and maybe something even better: genuine friendship.
Morris opened up about where things stand between them now, and it's clear the exes have nothing but respect and humor about their history. Revisiting a song that literally jokes about why they can't be friends? Only a couple truly at peace with their past could pull that off with a laugh.
The release marks a rare musical reunion for the country stars and proves that sometimes the best plot twist is when exes actually stay cool.
