Michael Ray shared a photo kissing actress and TV personality Audrina Patridge after the two seemingly confirmed their new relationship earlier this week.

“Life lately. Wine, her, country music, freedom, grilling and celery juice,” Ray wrote in his caption as he posted several photos and videos on Instagram on Wednesday evening (July 10). The third is a snapshot that captures him holding Patridge, who jumped into the singer’s arms and embraced him in a kiss. The pair previously sparked dating rumors when that photo appeared on Partridge's Instagram story last month. Patridge also took to Instagram to share “random June moments,” including a selfie on the seventh slide that she took while kissing Ray as the couple had a glass of red wine. Patridge commented on Ray’s post: “Life with you is ❤️”

Ray, 36, and Patridge, 39, seemed to publicly confirm their relationship with a photo posted on Instagram on Tuesday evening (July 9). The couple smiled in the romantic photo together at Tooth & Nail House of Wine in Paso Robles, California. Patridge quoted Ray’s song lyrics in her caption: “‘There’s a lot of things in life worth letting go. But the ones that mean the most, you gotta hold’ 🤍”
