Ryan Seacrest and Aubrey Paige have ended their relationship after three years together. A source informed ET that the couple “mutually decided to break up.”
The source further mentioned that both plan to remain close friends and continue supporting each other’s future endeavors.
Seacrest, the former co-host of “Live With Kelly and Ryan,” age 49, and 26-year-old model Paige were first seen together in 2021. They confirmed their relationship publicly after being spotted during a Memorial Day celebration in the Hamptons. On New Year’s Eve, Paige expressed her affection on Instagram, posting, “Safe to say the best part of 2021 was meeting the most incredible man.”
The duo mostly kept their relationship private, making occasional public appearances together, such as their red carpet debut in June 2022. Their relationship was often the subject of public admiration from friends.
During a birthday party for Kelly Ripa’s husband, Mark Consuelos, which Seacrest attended with Paige, Ripa highlighted Paige’s significance. “The most exciting guest that came was Ryan’s plus one, as acknowledged by every single speech given, because we were all so excited,” Ripa commented.
Ripa humorously noted Paige’s presence at the party, expressing relief and joking, “We’re all happy you’re here. And that you exist, because we weren’t sure there was anybody.”
Ripa playfully warned Seacrest about the potential impact of a breakup, “If you two break up, I will go into seclusion. I am so fond of her.”
Throughout their three years together, Paige and Seacrest shared glimpses of their private life. When Seacrest announced his departure from “Live” after six seasons, Paige shared a heartfelt message on Instagram: “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,” including photos of them together.
Paige looked forward to their future, “May it be filled with total presence, joy and relaxation in every single moment.”
Meanwhile, Seacrest is focusing on his burgeoning career, preparing to co-host “Wheel of Fortune” following Pat Sajak’s retirement. He’s been getting acquainted with co-host Vanna White, “She’s incredible. It’s been so much fun,” and even detailing how she likes her coffee and her favorite music.
With Sajak’s recent retirement announcement and his last episode taped, Seacrest is excited about his new role: “As soon as I finish this season [of American Idol], we’re gonna start taping for next fall.”
Reflecting on stepping into Sajak’s shoes, Seacrest expressed his honor: “I’m truly humbled to be stepping into the footsteps of the legendary Pat Sajak,” adding, “I can say, along with the rest of America, that it’s been a privilege and pure joy to watch Pat and Vanna on our television screens for an unprecedented 40 years, making us smile every night and feel right at home with them.”
White, confirming her continued involvement on the show, left Seacrest enthusiastic about their upcoming collaboration: “I’m so excited! She’s beloved, by this nation, she is just such an important part of the show. She has been for so many years,” he remarked, looking forward to sharing the stage with her.
