Ryan Seacrest's Quest for Love
Let me tell you something about Ryan Seacrest—he's not just the guy who keeps us entertained with his hosting gigs on Wheel of Fortune and American Idol. No, this guy is on a mission to find the love of his life. During a candid appearance on Good Morning America, Ryan opened up about his journey to find love, just ahead of hosting his 20th Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.
Now, picture this: it's Monday, December 30, and Ryan, a seasoned pro at 50, is sitting down with the GMA crew. He's got a big smile on his face, but there's something more—this year's New Year's Eve special isn't just about fireworks and confetti for him. It's a moment of reflection, a chance to talk about the things that matter most in life—like love.
A Look Behind the Scenes
Here's the thing about Ryan Seacrest: he's been hosting the New Year's Eve special for two decades now. You'd think it'd be old hat by now, right? But nope, there's always a little chaos behind the scenes that we don't get to see on TV. Ryan admitted that every year, there's something unexpected happening—whether it's a last-minute wardrobe change or a technical glitch. It's all part of the magic, he says, and it keeps things interesting.

But it's not just the chaos that makes the night special. Rebecca Jarvis, one of the GMA anchors, chimed in with a fun fact: every year, there are spontaneous proposals happening in Times Square. Imagine that—people are getting down on one knee, asking the big question, right there in the middle of the biggest party of the year.
Love and Proposals in Times Square
Ryan nodded along as Rebecca talked about the proposals. "Yes," he said, "it's something that happens almost every single year. Some of it makes it onto TV, some of it doesn't, but people love that moment to say, 'Will you be with me for the rest of our lives?'" It's a beautiful reminder that amidst all the glitz and glamour, New Year's Eve is about connection, love, and making memories.
Newly engaged anchor Will Reeve joked around with Ryan, saying, "I should have done the proposal on New Year's Eve with Ryan. Amanda [Dubin] would have said no." Will, 32, had an intimate proposal with Amanda, followed by a celebration with friends and family. It was a heartfelt moment that highlighted the importance of love and commitment in all our lives.
Ryan's Journey to Love
When the conversation turned back to Ryan, he shared that he's "taking my time" to find love. It's clear that after his three-year relationship with model Aubrey Paige Petcosky ended earlier this year, Ryan is focusing on what's truly important to him. He's not rushing into anything, but he's open to the possibility of love finding him when the time is right.
Rebecca Jarvis, ever the supportive friend, said, "Happy New Year, Ryan. May it be filled with love!" It's a sentiment that resonates with all of us. Whether you're single or in a relationship, New Year's Eve is a time to reflect on the past year and look forward to what's ahead.
Ryan's breakup with Aubrey Paige Petcosky earlier this year was a turning point for him. After three years together, they decided to part ways amicably. A source close to the couple revealed, "After three beautiful years together, Ryan and Aubrey have mutually decided to part ways. They plan to stay in each other’s lives as good friends and support one another’s endeavors."

Insiders suggested that before the split, Ryan and Aubrey had discussed starting a family together. "She wants marriage and kids," one source told Closer. "That shouldn’t come as a shock." However, Ryan's demanding schedule, juggling multiple TV shows and his radio show, may have contributed to the decision to end things. "Truth is, he’s happiest when he’s working," the insider said. "Ryan’s so busy, and that didn’t help. His schedule left little time for Aubrey as it was, so they decided it was best to call it quits."
Reflecting on the Past
Ryan celebrated his 50th birthday with his family on Christmas Eve, marking another milestone in his life. Over the years, he's had his fair share of relationships. He dated Julianne Hough from 2010 to 2013 and was with Shayna Taylor on-and-off for eight years before their final breakup in June 2020. Now, Ryan is focusing on what truly matters—finding love that fits his life and priorities.
