Ryan Seacrest divulged that he is on the hunt for love during a recent “lovable” episode of Wheel of Fortune.

The hit game show aired a “Love Is In The Air”-themed episode, where the co-hosts showed off their love for their partners. Vanna White, co-host of Wheel of Fortune, is married to contractor John Donaldson, making Seacrest the only single person on stage. He acknowledged his single status by revealing he’s on a popular dating app.

“I love ‘Love Is In The Air.’ I am so excited to watch all of these shows – and I’ll be on Tinder tonight, so I can find it,” joked the former American Idol host.

 

Seacrest’s comments were met with a laugh from White, who promised him that “love will be in the air next time.” White and Donaldson married this year after dating for 16 years.

Later on, Seacrest, 51, made another self-deprecating comment, saying, “I am so lonely up here.”

Seacrest was last coupled up with Aubrey Paige, a model and influencer. The two were first rumored to be together in May 2021. The couple, who remained relatively private during their relationship, then broke up in April 2024. Seacrest and Paige met when he was 46 and she was 23.

PEOPLE reported the break-up, with a source stating, “After three beautiful years together, Ryan and Paige have mutually decided to part ways. They plan to stay in each other’s lives as good friends and support one another’s endeavors.”

The two were seen at a few high-profile events together, and Paige attended Seacrest’s final episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan in 2023. She took to social media after the show to praise her at-the-time beau.

“Ryan, never have I ever met a more inspiring man. You make it look so easy, but the truth is there is just nobody quite like you. I am so beyond proud of you,” she posted.

Before his time with Paige, Seacrest dated Shayna Taylor, another model, from 2017 until 2020. He was also tied to Julianne Hough of Dancing with the Stars fame from 2010 until 2013.

“We’ve remained friends for years and still are,” said Seacrest of his relationship with Hough.

Seacrest previously confirmed that he has “never been engaged.” During a 2017 appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan, he opened up about the history of his love life.

“I did get close [to getting engaged] and I didn’t do it, and it was the right move,” he said at the time. “I figure the longer I wait, the older I’ll be, the closer to death I am, so I can get it in and not screw it up.”
