Darius Rucker announced on social media he is in a relationship.
The news was posted on Instagram. The former Hootie & the Blowfish frontman is seeing Emily Deahl, someone he calls “my love.”
Deahl, a South Carolina native, is a singer, songwriter and content creator.
Earlier this year, Rucker revealed that he’d moved to London.
Rucker was previously married to Beth Leonard. The couple wed in 2000 and announced their split in 2020.
He revealed, per Country Now, it was a painful end to his marriage in his book “Life’s Too Short,” later telling Tamron Hall that writing about it was difficult “because to realize how awful I was as a husband was hard to write. To realize she did everything she could. She’s so wonderful, she’s still an amazing human, amazing person. I love her so much. But I was just, a rockstar, and I lived that life.”
He later added, “I wanted to tell the truth, but sometimes the truth sucks. It sucks for me and in writing about her, I just wanted the world to know that it was all me. She was awesome. It was all me.”
