Morris came out as bisexual during Pride Month in 2024, just months after her divorce from her husband of six years, Ryan Hurd, with whom she shares a son.
“PHOENIX, AZ. happy to be the B in LGBTQ+. happy pride,” Morris wrote in a June 9th post while in Arizona for her RSVP: Redux Tour.
Since then, the “Middle” singer has been open about how she’s formed deep connections with women she often suspected might be more than just friendship.

“I have confusion sometimes because I can connect with a woman, any woman within like two minutes,” Morris said.

“I have confusion sometimes because I can connect with a woman, any woman within like two minutes,” Morris said in May 2025 during an appearance U Up? Podcast, explaining that deep conversations that might take years with a man can happen in an instant with 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 explained.
