When life throws curveballs, sometimes the best way to navigate them is with a little wisdom. That’s exactly what Shayna Taylor did after her public breakup with Ryan Seacrest. On Monday, June 29, she shared an inspirational quote about relationships that resonated deeply with fans.
Lessons in Love: The Right Person Doesn't Need Convincing
In a poignant reflection, Shayna shared a powerful message about relationships. The quote reads, "You will never need to convince the right person to love you. No matter what, you cannot change them, make them do the work, or get them to commit if they’re not ready to show up." It goes on to emphasize that change must come from within and actions always speak louder than words. These truths remind us that true connection requires mutual effort and respect.
View this post on InstagramI don’t know who needs to hear this today, but the truth is you can’t change people or force them to do the work. One of the worst things we do to ourselves is take rejection personally. People are who they are and it’s not up to you to try and change them. Sometimes you meet a person and they’re in a space where they’re ready to do the work, and sometimes, they’re not. That doesn’t make them bad or toxic, and it doesn’t make you unworthy. We have to stop making so much meaning out of other peoples’ journeys. All too often, we treat unavailable love as a challenge to convert someone. We might be unconsciously feeding an old story that we have to work to be loved, or that we’re not good enough to be chosen. At some point, we have to stop getting on the train that leads to self-abandonment in the pursuit of external approval and validation. Consider that each of us is on our own soul mission. You don’t have control over when and how a person is ready to wake up, do their healing work, or change their patterns. This is a call to stop giving energy to the belief that rejection means you’re unworthy. Trust that with the right person, it won’t feel like a roller-coaster You won’t have to prove yourself constantly or dim your shine in order to be digestible for them. When it’s right, it won’t be so hard. When it’s right, you’ll consciously choose each other rather than grasping to be chosen. And some days, it will still be hard, because there’s no such thing as the perfect partner. But the idea that you need to chase love is driven by your wound. Your worth knows better. If you have the energy to chase love, then you have energy to channel into your creativity, to pursue your dreams and do things that make you feel alive. Don’t misuse your energy by trying to convince them to show up. Your heart is sacred, let that be known. @sheleanaaiyana

Embracing Truth: People Are Who They Are
The quote originated from the social media account Rising Woman, whose caption further expanded on this idea. It stated, "I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but the truth is you can’t change people or force them to do the work." The message encourages self-awareness, urging individuals to stop personalizing rejection and instead recognize that everyone is on their own unique journey. Sometimes, people just aren’t in the right space to commit fully, and that’s okay. It doesn’t diminish your value as a person.
Ryan and Shayna: A Roller Coaster of Love
Though Ryan Seacrest and Shayna Taylor haven’t publicly disclosed the reasons behind their breakup, the couple has faced challenges before. Since starting their relationship in 2013, they've separated three times. According to reports from the Daily Mail, Ryan is already dating someone new. However, a representative for American Idol assured fans that the former couple remains friends and supporters of one another. They cherish the time they shared together, despite the ups and downs.
A Roller Coaster Ride: Ryan’s Perspective
Ryan Seacrest humorously described his relationship with Shayna during a past episode of Live With Kelly and Ryan. He joked, "When we drive by an amusement park, I always look at the roller coaster and go, ‘Look, there we are.’ It’s all definitely upside-down loops. It’s no Thunder Mountain, it’s definitely the Mind Bender." This lighthearted comment highlights the intensity and unpredictability of their relationship.
What’s Next for Shayna and Ryan?
As Ryan enjoys his vacation with his new partner in Mexico, Shayna is embracing this time to focus on herself. Given their history, it’s possible the couple may reconcile before the year ends.
