Morris and Hurd finalized their divorce in January, using a property settlement and prenuptial agreement to divide up their assets. The former couple share their son, Hayes. 

"The Middle" singer candidly said how the split from her ex-husband affected their young son. 

"I feel like there's so many emotions when you have a child with somebody and the relationship doesn't pan out… you just have to put on a brave face and a consistent face for your baby," she continued.

"I think he's gone through a lot… I'm sure, a lot of confusion because he's so little."

Morris added the one thing that brought her closer to Hayes and that was bringing him on tour with her.

"He loves being on the road, which has been so much fun this summer, having Hayes out… we feel like partners in crime a little bit, and we're going to be on this bus journey for forever," Morris explained.
