Ryan Seacrest and Girlfriend Aubrey Paige Announce Split After 3 Years of Dating

Ryan Seacrest and girlfriend Aubrey Paige have split after three years of dating.

"After three beautiful years together, Ryan and Aubrey have mutually decided to part ways," an insider confirmed to People on Wednesday, April 24. "They plan to stay in each other’s lives as good friends and support one another’s endeavors."

Ryan, 49, and Aubrey, 26, first went public with their relationship in May 2021 after being spotted together in the Hamptons over Memorial Day weekend. The former couple was known to be private with their romances — attending only a handful of events publicly together — but shared glances of their low-key love on social media.

The pair were seemingly on good terms earlier this month as The Make-Believers author promoted Aubrey’s liquor brand to his six million followers on Instagram.

“Get ready for your next gaming obsession,” Ryan announced on April 4. ‘Sippin on Somethin’ is a fun way to get to know your wines like you do your friends and family; it’s a card game that’s perfect for your next dinner party, date night, family night— you name it.”

He ended the sweet post by congratulating Aubrey on the product, writing, “Congratulations @aubreypaige_ for bringing this great idea to life, so proud of you @sippinonsomethin.”

Aubrey was also present when Ryan ended his cohosting gig with Kelly Ripa on April 14, stepping down from Live With Kelly and Ryan after six seasons. “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,” Aubrey wrote in a lengthy tribute post later that day. “I am so excited for this next chapter of your life and our life. May it be filled with total presence, joy and relaxation in every single moment.”

The split news follows sources exclusively telling In Touch last month that the American Idol host — who is worth a whopping $450 million — made his then-girlfriend split the check with him.

“Ryan has more cash to play with than ever, but he’s not sharing his good fortune with his friends, or even his girlfriend!” the insider exclusively told In Touch on March 24. “Ryan’s rule is they go Dutch. If they’re going away on vacation, there’s always an awkward conversation about her needing to make her own travel arrangements.”

The source explained that the media mogul is the “least likely to pick up the check among friends” and often made Aubrey “pay her own way.”

“His presents for birthdays are meager, to say the least,” the insider explained. “He thinks one of his cooking creations is a gift when Aubrey’s expecting jewelry. It’s crazy because Ryan’s got more money coming in all the time, but he still feels the need to guard every nickel. People around him think it’s pathetic.”
