Is Wheel of Fortune host Ryan Seacrest giving online dating a spin?
Seacrest, 51, appeared to hint that he’s on the dating app Tinder during the Monday, March 16, episode of the syndicated game show, which had a “Love Is in the Air” theme.
“I love ‘Love Is in the Air.’ I am so excited to watch all of these shows,” the television personality told cohost Vanna White, per People. “And I’ll be on Tinder tonight, so I can find it,” he went on to quip.
“Love will be in the air next time. I promise,” responded White, 69, who tied the knot with partner John Donaldson in January.
Everything Ryan Seacrest Has Said About Getting Married and Having Kids
Monday’s “Love Is in the Air” episode featured all couples hoping to spin the Wheel of Fortune for prizes. Seacrest, at one point, noted that he was the only single person on stage.
“I am so lonely up here,” he joked.
The American Idol host has been single for around two years following his split from model Aubrey Paige in April 2024. Seacrest’s rep confirmed the couple had split after three years together.
Seacrest previously dated Dancing With the Stars judge Julianne Hough from 2010 to 2013 and chef Shayna Taylor from 2017 to 2020.
Look Back at Ryan Seacrest’s Dating History Through the Years
During a 2017 episode of Live With Ryan and Kelly, the star said he’s “never been engaged,” although he once came close.
“I did get close and I didn’t do it and it was the right move. But I love the idea — and I know you’re going to ask me — of marriage, because my parents have been married for 47 years, and so I have this thing,” he said, per People. “I figure the longer I wait, the older I’ll be, the closer to death I am, so I can get it in and not screw it up.”
Seacrest again commented on his love life during an August 2022 episode of the talk show.
“I’m happy. I’m happy in the present moment,” he told Lisa Rinna at the time. “I don’t think about anything else. Why push it? 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.”
