Maren Morris Says Son Hayes Has 'Brought Me Through a Lot This Year' Following Divorce and Coming Out (Exclusive)

Maren Morris is a mom to son Hayes Andrew, 4, whom she shares with ex-husband Ryan Hurd. The couple finalized their divorce in January, and the musician came out as bisexual in June.

With so many recent changes in Morris's life, the proud mom tells PEOPLE that Hayes has "definitely brought me through a lot of this year." Being on the road for her RSVP Redux tour has only made their mother-son bond stronger, Morris explains. Elsewhere in the conversation, Morris tells PEOPLE about the inspiration behind her new songs, sharing that one track on the record — "Because, Of Course" — is a "love letter" to Hayes.
