In a separate post, Hurd continued to share his admiration for Morris with a throwback photo of the couple in which she sips a margarita from a red Solo cup as they walk backstage at a show. The songwriter also reveals their original plan to celebrate her birthday with two parties, one in Las Vegas followed by another at home in Nashville. But having a baby in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic changed those plans.

\"She hasn’t complained once. She’s wise beyond her 30 years, thoughtful and comfortable in her own skin,\" Hurd added, continuing to gush about her. \"It has been an amazing few weeks, and I can’t wait to give them the celebration she deserves.\"
