Audrina Patridge Confirms Michael Ray Split, Has Been Single Since July
Audrina Patridge and Michael Ray have ended their relationship after two years together. Patridge told People at a Los Angeles event that she has been single since July and remains open to marriage if she finds the right match. She said she would prefer to meet someone through mutual friends or in person rather than online.
Audrina Patridge, 41, confirmed to People at a Los Angeles pop-up on Sept. 25 that she and Michael Ray, 38, have split after two years. She said she has remained unattached since July, roughly two months after telling Us Weekly she was receptive to marrying him.
The pair first drew dating speculation in early 2024, when fans noticed Ray engaging with Instagram posts from The Hills cast. They later posted a kissing photo. Patridge now says she wants a partner whose heart and lifestyle match hers, and would rather meet someone through friends or in person than online.
The split may resonate with fans who followed Patridge since The Hills and with people navigating breakups after serious relationships. Her comments about preferring in-person introductions and mutual friends could reinforce ongoing cultural conversations about dating apps and privacy. For entertainment outlets, the story may sustain interest in Patridge’s personal life, while Ray may also receive renewed attention. Ultimately, impact is likely limited to celebrity culture and fan communities rather than broader society.
