Wow, folks! Ryan Seacrest has been keeping busy in a way that’s not only refreshing but also a bit unexpected. The TV star, who recently gave fans a bit of a health scare after missing a couple of episodes of Live! With Kelly and Ryan, is now showing off his green thumb with a brand-new at-home garden. And let me tell you, it looks like he’s happier than ever.

Seacrest's New Adventure: Growing Strawberries

On a sunny Saturday, May 30, the 45-year-old TV personality took to Instagram to share a delightful selfie from his backyard. In the photo, Ryan is all smiles, leaning into a bed of sprouting strawberries that he plans to use for his protein shakes. The caption reads, "My new strawberry garden for protein shakes," and it’s clear that this little project has brought him immense joy. It’s not just about growing fruit; it’s about reconnecting with nature and finding peace in a time when we all need it most.

Recovering From a Stressful Few Weeks

Let’s take a step back and remember that Ryan’s been through a lot lately. During the American Idol finale on May 17, viewers noticed something was off. Ryan seemed a little out of sorts, even slurring his words at one point. The next morning, he didn’t show up for Live!, and naturally, fans were concerned. His rep quickly reassured everyone that it wasn’t a stroke or anything serious. Instead, Ryan was just feeling the strain of juggling multiple jobs while adjusting to the new normal of working from home.

His spokesperson explained, “Ryan has been juggling three to four on-air jobs over the last few weeks. He’s been under a lot of stress, and he simply needed a break. So, he took a well-deserved day off to recharge.” It’s a reminder that even the busiest among us need to step back and take care of ourselves from time to time.

Back in Action and Better Than Ever

When Ryan returned to Live! on May 19, he was all smiles and ready to dive back into things. “I’m doing well, thank you,” he said to cohost Kelly Ripa. “I want to thank Mark Consuelos for filling in yesterday. He’s fantastic! And thank you all for your kind wishes during my little break.”

But that wasn’t the end of his time off. Ryan skipped another episode on May 25, though he didn’t explicitly say why. Instead, he used the opportunity to get outside and enjoy some much-needed fresh air. On May 26, he returned to the show, sharing a stunning photo of himself hiking over the Memorial Day weekend. “A breath of fresh air… even from behind a mask,” he captioned the image. “Happy Memorial Day weekend!”

Here’s to Ryan’s continued happiness and health. We’re all rooting for you, buddy!
