Hey there, let’s dive into some exciting news! Ryan Seacrest, the charismatic host we all know and love, is now dating 23-year-old Instagram model Aubrey Paige Petcosky. Yes, folks, it’s official! Closer Weekly has confirmed the couple’s blossoming romance. They were snapped together after spending the 2021 Memorial Day weekend together. The Daily Mail captured the couple arriving in style via helicopter to the West 30th Street Heliport in New York after a relaxing Hamptons getaway.

Getting to Know Each Other

According to a source, Ryan has already met Aubrey’s family, and they’re reportedly smitten with him. “Ryan has met Aubrey’s family,” the insider tells Us Weekly. “They think he’s a wonderful guy.” The publication adds that the couple is “very happy together and doing great,” keeping their relationship low-key and private. It seems like they’re enjoying their time without all the spotlight, which is refreshing in this world of constant attention.

Helicopter Arrivals and Stylish Outfits

Now, picture this: Ryan, 46, and Aubrey stepping off the helicopter in New York City. Ryan, ever the gentleman, placed his arm around Aubrey as they headed to his waiting vehicle. Aubrey, who’s known for her stunning figure, was dressed to impress in tiny denim button-up shorts paired with a plunging, tight olive-green T-shirt. Talk about making a fashion statement!

And let’s not forget Aubrey’s love for designer goods. She carried several Gucci bags, one slung across her body in a cross-body style, and the other handbag held confidently in her right hand. Aubrey’s fashion choices definitely turned heads that day!

A Stylish Ryan Makes an Entrance

Ryan, on the other hand, looked dapper in a protective face mask, dark-rimmed glasses, and an off-white fedora. His summer style was on point with a cream-colored knit short-sleeved sweater featuring a collar and horizontal navy stripes. To keep things casual, he paired the sweater with a comfortable pair of blue jeans. The American Idol host always knows how to strike the perfect balance between stylish and laid-back.

Interestingly, Ryan follows Aubrey’s Instagram account, along with over 50,000 other fans. Although Ryan hasn’t made an appearance on Aubrey’s page yet, her fans have caught a glimpse of his $85 million L.A. mansion in one of her photos. In May, Aubrey posed in a cheetah-print string bikini while lounging next to his luxurious pool. Looks like they’ve been enjoying some quality downtime together!

After years of dating primarily blondes, Ryan seems to be exploring new territory in his love life. His last significant relationship was with Shayna Taylor, 29, which lasted on-and-off from 2013 through 2020. They had a complicated history, splitting and reuniting multiple times. Their final breakup came in June 2020, following a quarantine period, surprising many fans since Ryan had publicly celebrated their third anniversary on Live just a month earlier.

Reflections on Past Relationships

Before Shayna, Ryan was with Dancing with the Stars judge Julianne Hough from 2010 to 2013. Their relationship, though seemingly strong, eventually faded. Julianne later opened up about the experience, sharing with Redbook magazine, “Every relationship, there was nothing wrong or bad, but there was nothing right. I had one foot out because I didn’t want to get hurt. And I didn’t say what was on my mind because I didn’t want to ruffle any feathers.”

She went on to describe how different her relationship with her then-new love, Brooks Laich, felt. “But now I’m not holding anything back, because I’d rather get my heart broken than never know what it is to be completely, madly in love.” Julianne and Brooks tied the knot in 2017, but they announced their separation in 2020, leading to a divorce filing in November of the same year.
