Audrina Patridge and Country Singer Michael Ray Break Up After 2 Years of Dating

The Hills star Audrina Patridge is back on the market after confirming her split from country singer Michael Ray.

“I’m not rushing into anything,” Partridge, 41, told People in an interview published on Friday, September 25, when teasing her dating life, noting that she is still open to marriage one day. “I’m starting to figure that out all over again. For me, I think the best person that you’re going to meet is probably through a mutual friend or someone, like, being set up. Go out in person. I’m not a big internet person.”

At this stage in her healing journey, the reality star said she is still figuring out exactly what she’s looking for next in a partner.

“It’s just knowing that someone has a good heart and they’re coming from a good family, and they have good morals and values,” she explained from medicube’s Wellness Club X2 pop-up in Los Angeles. “And you have to agree with those things because if not, you have opposite lifestyles.”

Us has reached out to Ray, 38, and Patridge’s rep for additional comment.

While it’s unclear what led to the breakup, some fans noticed that Patridge had recently unfollowed Ray on Instagram.

During an exclusive interview with Us in May, however, the TV personality couldn’t help but gush about the country singer.

“I’m open to it,” Patridge said about possibly getting engaged. “I think when you find someone that actually clicks and makes you happy, and we’ve both been through divorces and all of that, I think we know what not to do and what we want.”

Patridge was previously married to Corey Bohan, with whom she shares 10-year-old daughter Kirra, from 2016 to 2018. As for Ray, he tied the knot with Carly Pearce in October 2019. The singers divorced one year later.

“I feel like Michael is very private,” Partridge added of her relationship. “When we are together, we’re just so present and we usually just stay in at the house or cook dinner. When I met Michael, it was very unexpected. I was kind of in that mindset of, ‘I don’t need a guy. I’m happy being alone. It’s me and my daughter, girl power. We’re gonna travel the world.’ And then I met Michael, and we just clicked with our chemistry.”

Although Patridge revealed she’s been single since July, the recent breakup didn’t prevent her from having a good summer.

As seen on Instagram, the California resident was able to enjoy a family trip to South Dakota.

“Back to our roots,🤍” Partridge wrote via Instagram on August 12. “Adventures from the Black Hills to the family farm, sharing our family history with her at the sweetest age… when she wants to hear allll the stories. #summertrip #southdakota #familytrip.”
