Audrina Patridge and Michael Ray have ended their relationship after about two years of dating. The former couple made their relationship public in 2024, but Patridge has now confirmed that they are no longer together.
Patridge, 41, told PEOPLE that she has been single since July. She also opened up about returning to dating and what she hopes to find in a future relationship.
The breakup marks a new chapter for the former The Hills star, who previously discussed the possibility of marriage with Ray.
Audrina Patridge Opens Up About Dating Again
Following the split, Patridge said she is beginning to work out what she wants from dating again.
She explained to PEOPLE that she prefers meeting potential partners through personal connections rather than relying heavily on online dating. She also said she remains open to marriage if she meets someone whose values and lifestyle fit with hers.
For Patridge, qualities such as a good heart, strong morals and shared values are important when considering a future partner.
Her comments suggest that she is taking time to understand what she wants next rather than rushing into another serious relationship.
When Did Audrina Patridge and Michael Ray Start Dating?
Patridge and country singer Michael Ray first sparked romance rumours in 2024. The pair later made their relationship public, with PEOPLE reporting that they confirmed they were dating in July 2024.
Their relationship came after both had experienced previous marriages.
Patridge was previously married to Corey Bohan, with whom she shares a daughter. Ray was previously married to country singer Carly Pearce. Ray and Pearce divorced in 2020.
The couple generally kept much of their relationship private. However, Patridge occasionally shared glimpses of their romance on social media.

During an interview with Us Weekly in May 2026, she said she was open to the possibility of getting engaged. At the time, she described the connection between them as meaningful and noted that both had learned from their previous marriages.
The couple’s relationship therefore appeared to be serious before they ultimately went their separate ways.
However, neither Patridge nor Ray has publicly provided a detailed explanation for the breakup in the latest reports. Us Weekly also noted that it had sought additional comment from Ray and Patridge’s representative.
