The pair first sparked romance rumors in April 2024 when Ray liked Patridge’s Stagecoach Instagram post. A kiss photo appeared a few months later, and in July Patridge made things official on Instagram with a photo of them embracing, quoting Ray’s song "Hold."
Patridge — who shares daughter Kirra with ex-husband Corey Bohan, while Ray was previously married to Carly Pearce — says she isn’t rushing and has just started dating again. She prefers meeting people in person or through mutual friends, calls love bombing a top red flag, and wants someone with a good heart, strong family values and a compatible lifestyle.
