Hayes is the two-year-old son that she shares with her husband, Ryan Hurd. She didn’t share what happened with her son which caused this urgent decision. Her dog seemingly didn’t get along with her son. June is still an addition to their family. Maren’s decision has been critiqued among fans, but she still received support.

• “I know that tough decision must’ve been heartbreaking. Dogs are like our bonus kids. You made the right choice, mama. For Hayes and for Pancake.”
• “I’ve seen this happen when my aunt had a baby and her bulldog got aggressive toward the baby.”
• “Aww, we almost named our new pup after pancake. Wondered how he was doing.”

Maren Morris talks about postpartum depression

Maren Morris recently made an appearance on Sunday Today with Willie Geist. She talked about the challenges she faced after becoming a first-time mom. The “Chasing  You” singer didn’t know what to do with herself. During that difficult time in her life at the height of COVID, Maren tried to figure out her identity outside of performing for her fans.

“I think a lot of identity crises happened there. Not just being a new parent and a new mother and dealing with postpartum depression for the first time, and reeling from that,” Maren Morris explained. “Knowing my worth without someone clapping for me.”

She credited Ryan for helping her heal during that time. He offered support while she struggled with post-partum depression at a time when many struggled with their mental health and couldn’t get in-person counseling. Also, in that same interview, Maren talked about how she navigates fame as a mom. It has made her more reflective on who and what she wants to stand up for.
