Rucker’s friends and fans reacted to his relationship reveal, making it clear how happy they are for him and Deahl. Some of the comments on his post included:
“Beautiful. ‘I only wanna be with you’ rings true here.”
“Happiness looks good on ya!“
“Oh, hello!“
“Looking good Darius.”
“Love seeing this picture of [y’all]!“
“[I’m] a little jealous but i will give this a like.”
“Happy for you and your loved ones! Nothing like knowing you are truly loved. Family is what it’s all about brother.”
“You look great together.“
The confirmation that Rucker and Deahl are a couple comes five years after Rucker announced his split from his wife of 20 years, Beth Leonard. They share two children, daughter Daniella and son Jack. Rucker also has another daughter, named Carolyn, from a previous relationship.
“Your kids are still your kids, and you have a life, and you try to make the best of it,” Rucker said about his divorce during an interview in 2023. “Like I always say, [Beth is] a saint, she’s an amazing human being, and she’s a great mom. And we get through life. That stuff hurts and you feel like a failure.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.”
Who Is Emily Deahl?
So who is Darius Rucker’s new girlfriend Emily Deahl?
According to the bio on her YouTube channel, Deahl is a singer, songwriter, and content creator. She lives in London, where Rucker recently moved to (temporarily) while working on new music. “I’ve lived all over the world creating and making music but London is my favorite city so far,” Deahl says.
Deahl also has ties to Nashville, which she shares with Rucker, who still maintains a close connection to “Music City.”
Deahl shares an assortment of videos on her YouTube channel, including life updates, Q&A’s, vlogs, and music videos. She also has a public Instagram account with over 25,000 followers.
Those following Deahl and Rucker may have noticed they’ve posted pictures and videos with the same adorable dogs, two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Freddie and Larry. That makes it seem like the couple has already been together for a while before going public with their relationship this week.
