Ryan Seacrest's Ex, Aubrey Paige, Starts Fresh With New Home After Split

Alright folks, let’s talk about Ryan Seacrest and his ex-girlfriend, Aubrey Paige Petcosky. They recently decided to go their separate ways, and Aubrey’s already diving headfirst into a fresh start. On April 29, she gave her Instagram followers a peek at her brand-new home, showing just how ready she is to embrace this next chapter in her life.

Take a look at her Instagram Story where Aubrey shared a snapshot of her cozy living area. She captioned it with, “Move-in aesthetic … Functioning on stools.” Now, that’s what I call making the most out of a new space. In another photo, Aubrey, who's 26, was pictured sitting in front of her laptop with her furry companion by her side. Dressed in comfy white sweatshirts and slippers, she was sipping on a warm cup of coffee. Looks like she’s settling in nicely, doesn’t it?

Fast forward to another Instagram post, where Aubrey reflected on April as a "month of new beginnings." Just days earlier, on April 24, news broke that Aubrey and Ryan, who’s 49, had ended their three-year relationship. Now, that's a pretty big shift in anyone's life.

Aubrey and Ryan's Amicable Split

Here’s what a source had to say about the split to People magazine: "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." That sounds like a mature and respectful way to handle things, right?

Aubrey's First Public Reaction

Following the news of their breakup, Aubrey broke her silence on Instagram on April 25. She shared a video of herself in a bikini, sipping wine and enjoying the moment. Her caption read, “S/O to my haters, this one’s for you, happy #winewednesday.” Now, that’s a bold move, isn’t it? It seems like Aubrey’s not letting negativity get her down.

Ryan's Focus on American Idol

Meanwhile, over on Ryan’s Instagram, it’s all about American Idol. He’s been busy posting updates about the show, including revealing the top 8 contestants. Fans were genuinely surprised by the split, as Ryan and Aubrey always seemed to be enjoying each other's company.

Here’s an interesting tidbit: "Ryan is notorious for dragging his feet when it comes to settling down, but he and Aubrey have definitely discussed having a baby. She would like a wedding first, which has been something Ryan has avoided all his adult life," an insider told Closer earlier this month. “Time will tell, but Ryan is turning 50 at the end of the year – he better hurry up,” the source added.

It’s clear that things took a different direction for Ryan and Aubrey. Ryan has never been married and doesn’t have any children, but he’s been open about wanting to start a family. During an August 2022 episode of Live With Kelly and Ryan, he said, “I think having kids at the right time would be great. I have a fantastic family, a very small family. I have a niece, [my sister] Meredith has a daughter. My parents have been married 52 and a half years, so that’s a high bar. So that’s in my head.”
