Audrina Patridge Opens Up About Her Ex And Daughter'S Relationship

Audrina Patridge's Candid Confession

Audrina Patridge has opened up about her complicated family dynamics, sharing that her ex, Corey Bohan, is not a frequent presence in their daughter Kirra's life. The 40-year-old reality TV star, who filed for divorce from Bohan just 10 months after their 2016 wedding, revealed that Kirra, now nine, initially had some challenges adjusting to Audrina's new boyfriend, Michael Ray.

In a heartfelt discussion on the Pie podcast with hosts Kurt Sutter and Katey Sagal, Audrina shared, “In the beginning, she was so used to only me and not sharing me.” When asked by Katey about Kirra's relationship with her father, Audrina admitted, “That’s a whole [other] complicated thing. But no. She doesn’t really see him once in a great while. But not much.”

“Michael’s been like more of a father figure to her than she’s ever had. And she respects him and admires him.”

New Beginnings with Michael Ray

Audrina and Michael officially became a couple in July 2024, and after dating for about six months, Audrina introduced him to Kirra. She expressed that Michael has filled a significant role in Kirra's life, providing the father figure she needs and deserves.

Following her separation from Corey Bohan, Audrina was granted primary custody of Kirra, with Bohan receiving visitation rights. The former couple also attended mediation to establish a co-parenting plan, ensuring Kirra's well-being remains a priority.

Reflecting on Past Challenges

Audrina has been candid about the difficulties she faced during her marriage to Corey. In a 2022 interview with Us Weekly, she described their relationship as "toxic" and acknowledged that the divorce was a pivotal moment that strengthened her.

“It was such a turning point that that’s something that I couldn’t just leave out and pretend it never happened. Because it did change me for better and it made me stronger," she reflected. Audrina's approach to co-parenting is pragmatic, focusing solely on Kirra's needs and communicating with Corey only through the Talking Parents app.

Audrina Patridge continues to navigate the complexities of family life, prioritizing her daughter's happiness and stability above all.
