Ryan Seacrest is one of America’s most eligible bachelors. With good looks and a sparkling personality, it is a mystery to most of the public why their favorite TV host has never wed. So, let’s look back at the 49-year-old’s dating history.
The Wheel of Fortune co-host was in a two-year relationship with actress Shana Wall from 2003-2005. However, this was not the end of their time together. In March 2016, nearly ten years after their breakup, the pair were spotted arm and arm as they strolled around New York City.

In 2006, the E! alum went on a singular blind date with Lois and Clark actress Teri Hatcher. Although there was no spark between the pair, they left things on good terms. Hatcher went on the Wendy Williams Show in 2011 and spoke about their date. “We got set up on a blind date by a friend. It was years ago,” Hatcher remarked. “It’s fine. He’s fine. He’s great. I think I wore jeans and like a T-shirt and a sweater, it was kind of a rainy day. He’s a smart guy, an interesting guy.”
Seacrest dated Big Brother alum Jasmine Waltz in 2009. During their romance, the pair took a trip to Paris, France, but sadly, their time in the city of love wasn’t enough to keep the flame burning.
The American Idol host’s romance with Julianne Hough was perhaps his most widely publicized relationship. Seacrest dated the professional dancer from 2010-2013. There is seemingly no bad blood between the pair, as last month, the Dancing With The Stars co-host appeared as a guest on Seacrest’s radio show On Air With Ryan Seacrest.

Seacrest had an on-again, off-again relationship with model Shayna Taylor for eight years before officially calling it quits in 2020. A representative for Seacrest told PEOPLE, “[Seacrest and Taylor] remain good friends, each other’s biggest supporters, and will always cherish their time together as a couple.”
In 2015, the LIVE with Kelly and Ryan alum had a short-lived romance with model Renée Hall that consisted of a couple of dates.
Seacrest also coupled up with Hilary Cruz in 2015, but like his relationship with Hall, it was brief. He got back together with Taylor in 2016.
Seacrest’s most recent girlfriend was model Aubrey Paige. The pair began dating in 2021 and called it off only a few months ago, in April 2024. A source close to the couple spoke with PEOPLE, saying, “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.”
While the game show host remains single for now, that’s not to say he’ll never spin the wheel of love again.
