Maren Morris Reveals the Biggest Difference She's Seen in Dating Women Versus Men After Coming Out as Bisexual
Men are from Mars and women are from Venus — and Maren Morris agrees!
In a recent appearance on the U Up? podcast, the "Girl" singer, who came out as bisexual last year, opened up about her experience dating men and women.
For starters, Morris found that she has an easier time connecting with women. With men, it takes longer to go there.
"My experience has been really positive. But I also have a confusion sometimes because I can connect with a woman, any woman, within like two minutes, and we'll be talking about our childhoods... Like, we will get into it so quickly. With a guy that would take like years to get into that trauma," Morris, 35, said.
She continued, "But we're so good at building community out of sharing stories or gossip or whatever... It's a survival technique. We cling together out of vulnerabilities."
Though she's able to connect with women on an "emotionally deep level," that sometimes make things confusing when determining if she has a romantic connection — or just a friendship.
"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," she said. "But that's the comparison, I guess, to dating men, right? Because I've been there. It's like, I have enough friends. I think I'm good. I'm looking for something beyond that. But sometimes the chemistry isn't there. It doesn't depend, you know, on the guy or the girl."
Morris, who was married to singer-songwriter Ryan Hurd for five years before filing for a dissolution of marriage in October 2023, revealed she identifies as bisexual in a celebratory LGBTQ+ Pride Month post in June of last year.
"happy to be the B in LGBTQ+," wrote Morris, who is a longtime advocate for the queer community, alongside photos of herself holding Pride flags during her RSVP Redux Tour stop in Phoenix. "happy pride."
Elsewhere in the podcast, Morris opened up about her first date with a woman and revealed she was "nervous."
"I had never been on a date with a woman. So, of course, I'm going to be like, 'What the hell does this is look like?' But then it was so easy and ended up being like a three-hour hang," she said.
In August, Morris revealed to PEOPLE that she found the courage to come out as bisexual after writing her song "Push Me Over."
"I didn't ever feel before I had the courage to say that, and it was something that I knew for decades, but I think it was just the timing of: I'm in a space to say this without anything really getting misconstrued, and it's Pride Month," Morris said of her Instagram revelation. "I also had just felt comfortable in myself enough to write a song like 'Push Me Over.' It gave me the little shot of courage I needed, I guess."
"It didn't really feel like coming out," Morris added of her decision to make the announcement. "It just felt like, 'Oh, and by the way, I'm kind of in the club too, so happy pride.' It was the most free, fun, silly way to do it."

Maren Morris Says She Realized Divorce Is 'Weird' When Her Mutual Friends with Ex Ryan Hurd Chose 'Sides'
Maren Morris opened up about pals picking "sides" after her divorce from ex Ryan Hurd Morris said their mutual friends had to choose out of "respect for each other" and she figured it would be "weird for the first few years" The "Girl" singer filed for divorce in October 2023; it was finalized in January 2024Maren Morris is opening up about the intricacies of divorce. During an appearance on Therapuss with Jake Shane on Wednesday, June 18, the "My Church" singer got candid about going through a divorce in a "small town" like Nashville — where she and ex Ryan Hurd have mutual friends. 'In Nashville, you know I've been divorced for a little over a year now. It's a small town, and we're all friends, and we all work together, and the music industry is very tiny there," Morris, 35, said of Hurd, 38. Though the exes are "really friendly," she said it's "weird" because their friends had to "pick sides." "Just in terms of respect for each other," she said. "I saw a really close friend of my ex's at a bar a couple months ago, and I was with my best friend. We all used to hang out together for a decade or more and then it's like, 'Damn, it's just going to be kind of weird.' Maybe it's just going to be weird for the first few years." Morris and Hurd — who share 5-year-old son Hayes — met in 2013 when they wrote "Last Turn Home" for Tim McGraw, but their romance didn't blossom until a few years later. They married in March 2018. Morris filed for divorce in October 2023, and the exes reached a settlement agreement three months later. They finalized their divorce in January 2024. On Therapuss, Morris said that as she got older, she realized people who aren't "energetically aligned" started to "fade away" from her life. "I have these people who have been my ride or dies but I feel like COVID changed a lot of people, when I had my son I could feel people fall away," she continued. "I think when you have kids sometimes... I think as a new mother it's already such a lonely time and you're very isolated plus it was COVID. But I certainly made friends who are moms through the process." Morris' comments come after she made an appearance on the Dear Chelsea podcast and revealed she and Hurd were able to move past a lot of their problems to put their son first. "We're over a year out now ... we get along now and have moved past a lot of it," Morris said. "We're neighbors, and I'm just so fortunate that we have put our son above each other's s---, and it's better for the two of us if we're getting along." "I'm lucky that we love each other so much still," she said. "We have the highest respect, but also there is that devastation that two people [who] love each other that much can't make it work in the real world. It's always going to be multifaceted."
