Love is in the air for one of Ryan Seacrest’s closest pals! The charismatic American Idol host recently announced that he'll be officiating the wedding of his radio cohost, Tanya Rad, to her fiancé, Roby Yadegar. It’s a role that highlights Ryan’s deep connections and cherished friendships in his life.
Ryan's Special Role in Tanya and Roby's Big Day
On December 20, the 48-year-old media mogul took to Instagram with a lighthearted yet heartfelt message. “When it came to who would marry @tanyarad and @ryadegar, the choice was clear … I’m just lucky they weren’t available,” Ryan joked, adding a touch of humor to the occasion. But don’t let the playful tone fool you—Ryan’s commitment to his friends is evident in his genuine excitement. “In all seriousness, it’s an honor to have been asked to officiate your wedding, and I look forward to marrying you two,” he expressed, showing just how much this moment means to him.
What About Ryan's Love Life?
While everyone is sending warm wishes to Tanya and Roby, the conversation inevitably turns to Ryan’s own romantic journey. For over two years now, the Emmy-winning host has been in a relationship with model Aubrey Paige Petcosky, a connection that has fans eagerly speculating about whether she might be "The One." Since summer 2021, Ryan and Aubrey have been showcasing their chemistry, leaving many wondering if an engagement is on the horizon.

“Oh my God, will you just marry @aubreypaige_ already? What are you waiting for?” one commenter playfully urged beneath Ryan’s post. Another chimed in, “Ryan, when are you settling down & having babies already? You’d make the best dad,” while yet another added, “It’s your turn, Mr. Seacrest.” Clearly, the anticipation is high among his fans.
Memorable Moments with Aubrey
This isn’t the first time fans have pushed Ryan to take the next step. Back in August, the couple stole hearts with their romantic getaway to Italy, where they shared countless adorable photos. One fan commented under one of Aubrey’s Instagram posts, “I hope you two get married, you make such a cute couple.” It’s clear that Ryan and Aubrey’s connection resonates deeply with their audience, sparking excitement for what could be next.
Ryan's Views on Marriage
Though Ryan has never walked down the aisle himself, he’s no stranger to the concept of lifelong commitment. In fact, during a candid chat with Kelly Ripa on Live back in 2017, he revealed that he’d once considered proposing but ultimately decided against it. “I didn’t do it and it was the right move,” Ryan admitted, emphasizing that timing plays a crucial role. Growing up surrounded by strong family values, Ryan has always admired the institution of marriage. “My parents have been married for 47 years, and so I have this thing—and you’ve been married 21,” he told Kelly, highlighting the importance of partnership and trust.
Past Relationships and New Beginnings
Before Aubrey entered the picture, Ryan shared nearly a decade of on-and-off love with Shayna Taylor. Despite their split, they remain close friends, proving that relationships can evolve into meaningful bonds even if they don’t last forever. Fast forward to today, and Ryan seems genuinely content with where his life is heading. After introducing Aubrey to Kelly, the talk show host gave her seal of approval, saying, “We will all keep our same mailing addresses in case there is ever a wedding invitation.”
For now, Ryan continues to balance his professional success with personal happiness, whether it’s celebrating his friends’ milestones or cherishing moments with his partner. One thing’s for sure—fans are holding out hope for some big news in the near future!
