![]()
It looks like we now know just a bit more about Ryan Seacrest‘s current relationship status.
Back in April, fans of the Wheel of Fortune and American Idol host were sad to hear that he and girlfriend Aubrey Paige split after three years of dating. Well, for those wondering if he’s been looking for love since then, he subtly gave folks a clue about his current dating status.
Per TV Insider, viewers witnessed Ryan’s surprise reveal on the December 9 episode of Wheel of Fortune. The host was talking with contestant Sunita Baru about how much she loves all things Disney, and how she was lucky to audition and play the game during the show’s Disney Secret Santa Holiday Giveaway Week.
When Sunita shared that she’d celebrated her honeymoon and 10-year wedding anniversary at Disney World, she also announced her plans to go back for her 20th anniversary. Upon hearing this, Ryan proceeded to lightheartedly ask for some marital advice … while seemingly inferring he’s currently single.

“Is that the key to a successful marriage?” Ryan asked Sunita.
“I think so,” she replied.
“I’ll make note if it…ever happens,” Ryan quipped back.
While Ryan may not have a new lady in his life, he’s plenty busy these days with his family. As Ryan shared in a sweet message on Instagram on December 10, he recently celebrated his niece Flora‘s birthday. (Flora’s mom is Ryan’s sister, Meredith Seacrest Leach.)
“Happy birthday to our favorite Make-Believer!” he captioned the series of photos. “Love you, Flora.”
And let’s not forget — he’s also about to get to work on a new season of American Idol, airing March 9, 2025 and featuring Carrie Underwood as the show’s newest judge.
