Let’s talk about what just happened in the world of celebrity relationships. Aubrey Paige Petcosky, the beloved entrepreneur and creative force, finally addressed her breakup with Ryan Seacrest, and wow, did she make a splash. After the news of their split dominated headlines, Aubrey took to Instagram to share her thoughts, and she did it in a way that was as bold as it was unexpected.
Aubrey's Bold Message to the World
On April 25, Aubrey, 26, dropped a mic-worthy Instagram Reel that left fans buzzing. With a caption reading, "S/O to my haters, this one’s for you, happy #winewednesday," she let everyone know she’s not just moving on but owning it. Now, if you think the caption was spicy, wait until you hear the audio she chose for the Reel. Picture this: Aubrey, looking stunning in a bikini, sipping white wine while floating in a pool, with Nicki Minaj’s iconic voice in the background declaring, "I am fully aware of what y’all say about me, number one, and I don’t give a f–k." It was the perfect blend of sass, confidence, and a little "I’m okay without you" energy.
The Official Split: What We Know
Just the day before, on April 24, Ryan Seacrest's rep confirmed what many fans didn’t want to hear: the couple had parted ways after three years of dating. According to sources close to the couple, the split was mutual, and both parties plan to remain friends while supporting each other’s endeavors. It’s a classic "we’re better as friends" scenario, but let’s be real, the entertainment world didn’t see this coming. Just weeks prior, Ryan had been promoting Aubrey’s new card game, Sippin’ on Somethin’, with nothing but love and pride in his caption.

When Love Goes Public: The Journey of Ryan and Aubrey
Let’s rewind to how it all began. Ryan and Aubrey first sparked dating rumors back in May 2021 when they were spotted at a heliport after a weekend getaway to the Hamptons. From that moment on, they were a couple the world couldn’t help but root for. Fast forward to June 2022, when they made their red carpet debut at Jennifer Lopez’s documentary premiere, Halftime. Aubrey wasn’t shy about sharing her love for Ryan on social media, often posting sweet photos and heartfelt messages. One of the most touching moments came in April 2023 when Aubrey wrote a touching tribute to Ryan on his last day as cohost of Live With Kelly and Ryan. In the post, she praised Ryan’s inspiring work ethic, kind heart, and the genuine love he shares with others. It’s clear their bond ran deep, making the split even more surprising.
Even Ryan, the American Idol host, couldn’t help but show his support for Aubrey’s entrepreneurial ventures. In a recent Instagram post, he celebrated her success with the card game Sippin’ on Somethin', calling her out for her creativity and vision. It’s clear that even in the midst of change, both parties remain supportive of each other’s growth.
Friends of the couple, like Kelly Ripa, had expressed their fondness for Aubrey, even joking about going into seclusion if the couple ever split. But life moves on, and it seems both Ryan and Aubrey are ready to embrace the next chapter with grace and positivity.
