The 39-year-old model made her relationship with the 36-year-old country singer public Tuesday (July 9) by sharing an adorable photo at Tooth & Nail House of Wine in Paso Robles, Calif., onto her feed. In the snap, which Ray also shared on his Story, she smiles while holding his face close to hers as he beams back at her.

“There’s a lot of things in life worth letting go,” she captioned the post, quoting the Florida native’s new song “Hold.” “But the ones that mean the most, you gotta hold.”

In the comments, Ray wrote, “Let’s go babe!!! Grateful for you and Kirra,” referring to Partridge’s eight-year-old daughter with ex-husband Corey Bohan.

The The Hills alum and Bohan were married from 2016 to 2018. Ray was also previously wed, to fellow country star Carly Pearce; the ex-couple was married for about eight months before the “I Hope You’re Happy Now” singer filed for divorce in 2020.

Partridge and Ray first sparked dating rumors in late June, with the former sharing a snap on her Story featuring a man who appeared to be the “Whiskey and Rain” artist holding her as they shared a kiss. “This one…,” she captioned the post at the time.

Their relationship confirmation comes a few weeks after Ray released his latest single “Drink With Our Friends” in the last week of May. Before that came “Hold,” which followed March’s “Nothin’ Else.”
