"Michael and I recently ended things," Patridge said via OK! Magazine. "We had two amazing years together. But ultimately, we realized we're just in different places in our lives. I have so much love and respect for him, and I'm really grateful for the time we shared."
Following their split, Patridge is now focused on the future. She has a full schedule between her career, her daughter (whom she shares with ex-husband Corey Bohan), and the personal goals she's likely working toward.
This will be Patridge's second divorce. She split with Bohan in 2017, just one year after their 2016 wedding. The divorce was finalized in 2018. Despite her second divorce, Patridge has told PEOPLE that she'd still be open to marriage, should she meet the right person at the right time. For now, though, she's just getting used to being back on the dating scene.
"I'm starting to figure that out all over again," she told PEOPLE. "For me, I think the best person that you're going to meet is probably through a mutual friend or someone, like being set up. Go out, like in person. I'm not a big internet person."
Audrina Patridge Already Knows What Her Biggest "Red Flag" Is
When speaking with PEOPLE, following the news of her split with Ray, Patridge opened up on what she believes is her biggest red flag in the dating world. She noted that 'love bombing' is what she believes would quickly put her off a potential partner.
Yet, despite knowing what she doesn't want, Patridge is taking her time to figure out what she does want from her next relationship.
"I'm just getting back into it. I haven't even thought about it yet," she said. "It's just knowing that someone has a good heart and they're coming from a good family, and they have good morals and values. And you have to agree with those things because if not, you have opposite lifestyles."
Hopefully both Patridge and Ray can find happiness in their future. After all, divorce is a brutal path to walk down. Fortunately, judging by Patridge's comments, things appear to be amicable.
