AceShowbiz - Maren Morris is stepping into a new chapter of her life both personally and professionally. After finalizing her divorce from ex-husband Ryan Hurd in January 2023 and coming out as bisexual in June, Morris, 34, is now reportedly dating Netflix reality star Justin Assada, 27.
The news has been making waves ever since Assada posted a conspicuous photo of the singer on his Instagram Story on August 28.
Assada, who gained fame from his stints on the competition series "Surviving Paradise" and the dating series "Perfect Match", shared an image of Morris enjoying a drink at a chic restaurant. He captioned it, "Scary movies + Sushi," hinting at a romantic evening. This post fueled speculation about their budding relationship although representatives for both have yet to comment.
In a recent interview on Harry Jowsey's "Boyfriend Material" podcast, Assada revealed that moving from Massachusetts to Los Angeles had significantly enhanced his dating life.
Without naming Morris explicitly, he mentioned, "I went from the bottom of the barrel Hinge dates in Boston to going on a pretty crazy date Thursday with someone that's like, it blows my mind." The timing of the statement and his Instagram post seems to align, subtly confirming the connection.
Morris, who has been open about her relationship transitions, told PEOPLE that she's "really, really happy" and is only open to dating someone "spectacularly impressive" who can add value to her already fulfilling life.
"I love my career, I love my baby, I love my home, I love my friends," she shared. "Those are all things that matter to me, and those are self-made. I only will allow someone to come into my life if they amplify any of it. They can't be a net negative."
The singer added that she's been "enjoying dating for the first time" and is excited about what's to come. "This part of myself is the most confident and just not taking herself too seriously, so it is the perfect moment to be dating," she noted, emphasizing that anyone hoping to win her over must be exceptional.
As the story unfolds, fans are eagerly watching to see how this new romance will develop. With both Morris and Assada having vibrant personalities and public profiles, their relationship is sure to be, if anything, newsworthy and fascinating to follow.
