The lovebirds made their relationship public on July 9 after media speculation about them being romantically involved began to emerge in late spring.
In the pic shared by Patridge on Instagram, the duo are seen cuddling up as they look into each other’s eyes. She quoted one of her beau’s songs, “Hold”, in the caption: “There’s a lot of things in life worth letting go. But the ones that mean the most, you gotta hold”.
Michael Ray commented: “Let’s go babe!!! Grateful for you and Kirra”, referring to Patridge’s eight-year-old daughter.
Here’s what we know about The Hills alum’s hunky new boyfriend:
Michael Ray is an American country music singer
Ray, 36, is a country singer from Florida. As seen on his All Music bio, Ray rose to fame after coming top in the CW network’s reality TV singing competition The Next: Fame Is at Your Doorstep back in 2012. The win landed him a deal with Atlantic Nashville, notes the source. Some of his most famous songs include “Whiskey and Rain”, “Think a Little Less” and “Get to You”.
He was married to Carly Pearce for one year
On the Bobby Cast podcast last year, Ray opened up about his divorce from Pearce, saying: “We didn’t do counselling, we didn’t do any of that beforehand, and I think that – there was moments, that I look back now and I’m like, ‘Why didn’t I speak up on that?’ That was one of the first times I realised that her and I are opposite.”
