Rucker’s caption read: “Wizard of Oz at @spherevegas with my love & my boys. 1000/10!!!!!” He also tagged Deahl in the post, seemingly making the relationship social media official.

This comes as Rucker has been spending time abroad. Earlier this year, he revealed that he’d moved to London, following a string of cryptic posts about his new chapter.

Rucker was previously married to Beth Leonard. The couple wed in 2000 and announced their split in 2020. The couple announced their split in 2020. Together, they share two children: Daniella (born in 2001) and Jack (2004). Rucker also has a daughter, Carolyn, from a prior relationship.

He opened up about the painful end of 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.”

When Rucker set out to write his memoir, he vowed to be completely honest, no matter how hard it was.

“I always said that if I ever wrote the book, I was going to be honest as I could be,” he shared during a conversation with Country Now and other outlets. “There’s some stuff that’s over the top, but I just wanted to tell the story and I wanted people to understand the hard stuff and the good stuff. All this stuff made me who I am today and so when I was writing the book, I wanted it to be you to read it like we were sitting at a bar and I telling you my life story and so that’s how we wrote it.”   

The “Beers and Sunshine” singer is back in the states and has a full list of tour dates planned throughout the fall.
