Audrina Patridge says she has been single since July after split from Michael Ray

Audrina Patridge and country singer Michael Ray have ended their relationship after two years of dating, she told PEOPLE. Patridge says she has been single since July and is starting to date again, but is not rushing into anything.

Patridge said she remains open to marriage if she meets the right person and their hearts and lifestyles align. She favors meeting someone through a mutual friend or in person rather than online, and said good character, morals and values matter in a partner.
