Big Decisions on the Show
As the episode progressed, Ryan took center stage to announce which three contestants would move on to the final stage of the competition. It was a nerve-wracking moment for everyone involved, but in the end, Abi Carter, Will Moseley, and Jack Blocker advanced. Unfortunately, Triston Harper and Emmy Russell were sent home, leaving fans emotional and eager to see what the final rounds will bring.
Ryan Gets Emotional Over Emmy Russell’s Performance
Just a few weeks earlier, Ryan found himself overcome with emotion during Emmy Russell’s heartfelt performance of her original song “Want You” on April 14. The 25-year-old singer poured her soul into the ballad, and Ryan, the ever-present radio host, couldn’t hold back the tears. Katy Perry, ever the observant one, quipped, “Ryan, do you want somebody to want you like that, too?” Ryan, quick on his feet, responded with a nod to the lyrics, saying, “Love me, love me like I love you.”
Ryan’s Personal Life Takes a Turn
Ryan’s personal life has seen some changes recently, too. He and his girlfriend, Aubrey Paige Petcosky, ended their three-year relationship in April. Sources say the split was mutual, and the two plan to remain friends. “After three beautiful years together, Ryan and Aubrey have mutually decided to part ways,” a source told People. “They plan to stay in each other’s lives as good friends and support one another’s endeavors.”
Insiders suggest Ryan’s busy schedule played a role in the breakup. “Ryan’s so busy, and that didn’t help,” one source told Closer. “His schedule left little time for Aubrey as it was, so they decided it was best to call it quits.” Aubrey, who is 23 years younger than Ryan, reportedly wants marriage and kids, which, according to sources, shouldn’t come as a shock.
