US TV presenter Ryan Seacrest, 49, has separated from his girlfriend, 29, after three years of dating, according to reports.

The American Idol host and model Aubrey Paige went public with their romance in May 2021 when they were spotted celebrating Memorial Day in the Hamptons.

Alas, their relationship is over, a representative for Ryan confirmed.

‘After three beautiful years together, Ryan and Aubrey have mutually decided to part ways,’ a source close to the couple added.

‘They plan to stay in each other’s lives as good friends and support one another’s endeavours,’ added the insider to People.

Over the years, Ryan and Aubrey have made several appearances together at glitzy events.

They attended the 2022 LACMA 2022 Collectors Committee Gala together, as well as the premiere of Jennifer Lopez’s documentary, Halftime.

Mostly, though, they chose to keep their relationship out of the limelight, apart from the odd social media post.

‘Safe to say the best part of 2021 was meeting the most incredible man 😍🙌🏼,’ Aubrey wrote on New Year’s Eve.

She added: ‘Wishing everyone love, happiness, safety & health in 2022 🥂.’

Aubrey has also been publicly supportive of Ryan’s professional endeavours.

When he concluded his six-year run as co-host of Live! with Kelly Ripa last April, she stood proudly in the audience alongside his parents and sister.

Aubrey was later full of praise in a sweet caption, penning: ‘Ryan, never have I ever met a more inspiring man… You make it look so easy, but the truth is there is just nobody quite like you.

‘I am so beyond proud of you. Not just for your work ethic, but for your caring heart and the genuine love that you give to others.’

Split rumours first began to swirl in December 2023 when Aubrey posted a photo of her soaking up the festivities with her family, Ryan nowhere to be seen.

When the New Year’s Rockin’ Eve host celebrated his 49th birthday on Christmas Eve, she also failed to acknowledge it publicly.

While Ryan has been incredibly reserved as far as his love life is concerned in recent years, that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been quizzed.

During an appearance on Live! while Ryan was still co-presenting, 60-year-old colleague and friend Lisa Rinna poked fun, asking if he might be walking down the aisle anytime soon.

‘I’m happy. I’m happy in the present moment,’ Ryan said.

‘I don’t think about anything else. Why push it?’

When asked if he planned to have children, 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 there’s a high bar. So that’s in my head.’  

He reiterated: ‘I think having kids at the right time would be great.’

Before Aubrey, Ryan dated Shayna Taylor.

Reps for Ryan Seacrest have been contacted for comment.
