Not only has Ryan Seacrest snagged a co-hosting gig on Live with Kelly and Ryan, he also has made another big move in his life: sharing a home with his girlfriend Shayna Taylor.

The couple, who once dated a few years ago, have rekindled their relationship, renting out an apartment together in New York City where Seacrest films the ABC talk show.

While America has long been familiar with Seacrest, 42, through his multitude of hosting gigs, his 26-year-old girlfriend is still not as well-known. Here are five things to know about the blonde beauty.

1. She knows how to cook

"Laughter heals all wounds, and that's one thing that everybody shares. No matter what you're going through, it makes you forget about your problems. I think the world should keep laughing." #happy #laugh #quote #chefshayna #mybikinikitchen #recipe #health #advice #motivate

“As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized how important having your family close to you really is,” she posted. “I am extremely blessed that I have such strong, logical, loving women (young & old) to stand by my side & to be my rocks. No matter what life throws our way. The only people missing in this photo is my grandma (who took this picture) & my great grandma, who will always be by my side in spirit. ? thank you for always making me feel so loved .. every day like it’s my birthday.”

4. She’s really into fitness and eats very healthy

Taylor has been seen working out and leaving the gym with Seacrest and a lot of her Instagrams are of nutritious food, which is no surprise by looking at her fit figure.

Nothing like a healthy breakfast, or mid day snack ???? Matcha Chia Seed Pudding ??made with home made almond milk | alcohol free vanilla extract! The trick with the matcha, is to take a tablespoon and mix it with a matcha mixer first, add a little milk and mix it again before adding it into the chia and almond milk. Let the chia seed soak over night, & it's ready to eat ???? I topped mine with blueberries, chopped almonds & walnuts. You could also put maple syrup or agave on top or in it. #simple #healthy #organic
