Audrina Patridge goes Instagram-official with country singer Michael Ray
Audrina Patridge is enjoying some “New Beginnings.”
The “Hills” alum hard launched her new relationship with country music singer Michael Ray on Tuesday by going Instagram-official with her beau.
Patridge’s romantic image the couple with their foreheads pressed together as the reality star has her hand rested on his neck.
“‘There’s a lot of things in life worth letting go But the ones that mean the most, you gotta hold’ 🤍,” she wrote, using lyrics from Ray’s recent single, “Hold.”
Ray, 36, responded to her post with a heartfelt message of his own directed at Patridge, 39, and her 8-year-old daughter.
“Let’s go babe!!!” he wrote. “Grateful for you and Kirra ❤️♾️.”
Ray also shared the MTV star’s post on his Instagram Story. It’s unclear when the duo began dating.
The “Dancing With the Stars” competitor was last rumored to be dating her podcast producer Jared Einsohn.
The two reportedly had become an official couple in summer 2022 and had been “inseparable since.”
“All of their friends really like them together,” a source told JustJared at the time. “It seems like such an easy and very fun relationship. They are constantly making each other laugh.”
Patridge was married to Corey Bohan for one year before they split in 2017 over irreconcilable differences stemming from an alleged violent outburst.
While the former couple — who share Kirra — were only married for a short period, their on-and-off relationship started in 2008; however, she later revealed in her memoir, “Choices: To the Hills and Back Again,” that Bohan, 42, frequently accused her of infidelity with her “DWTS” partner, Tony Dovolan.
“Every single day, he would make rude, nasty comments about Tony and what he was so sure was going on,” she said about her experience on the ABC competition series.
“Corey accused me of making the dances too sexy and inappropriate, as if I had control over the steps of the tango,” she claimed, adding that she was “starting to break down” because of his accusations.
