Darius Rucker has a new love in his life!
The country star, 59, went Instagram official with girlfriend Emily Deahl in a smiling selfie of the pair standing outside the Sphere arena in Las Vegas on Monday, Sept. 8.
“Wizard of Oz at @spherevegas with my love & my boys. 1000/10!!!!!” Rucker captioned the post.
Deahl is a content creator and musician with nearly 500,000 followers on TikTok. She said in an April vlog shared to her YouTube channel that she moved to London in January 2025, while Rucker previously said that same month that he’d relocated to the British city.
The “Alright” singer told PEOPLE in June that his move wasn’t permanent, but he was spending time there to “get just a different flavor” as he worked on new music and toured abroad.

“I’m working on my album, I’m sure my single’s going to be coming out here soon, you know, and I’m ready for people to hear that,” he said. “I’m looking forward to finishing my record and getting that out. I think it’s refreshing, it’s new. I think my fans are gonna be really, really excited.”
It remains unclear just how long the pair has been dating, though Deahl hinted at a relationship in April with a TikTok video in which she joked, “Missing my man then remembering how many songs I wrote about hating men.”
Rucker was previously married to Beth Leonard, with whom he shares daughter Daniela, 24, and son Jack, 20 (He is also dad to daughter Carolyn, 30, from a previous relationship).

The singer and Beth announced their split in 2020 after 20 years of marriage, saying at the time they’d remain “close friends and parenting partners.”
“That stuff hurts and you feel like a failure,” Rucker told PEOPLE of divorce in 2023. “But we’re still a family — a piece of paper is not going to change that. We’re still a family, and that’s all because Beth is awesome. She knows it’s the best for the kids, and she’s a great human being.”
He added at the time that he wasn’t focused on dating, as he was “trying to be the best dad I can be for those grown kids.”
Rucker released the Born and Raised EP in May, and put out his memoir Life’s Too Short last year.
