Ryan Seacrest gives rare update on his relationship status

A revealing radio exchange

Seacrest, 51, discussed “RSB,” short for “recently single behavior,” on Wednesday’s episode of “On Air With Ryan Seacrest.” He described signs such as changing one’s hair color as behavior people might show after becoming single. Rad asked whether he was sure that applied to him. Seacrest paused, then answered, “Hmmm. No.” He and co-host Sisanie Villaclara laughed together after the exchange.

Reports about Maxime Nova

In August, Page Six reported that the “American Idol” host was getting serious with Dutch model Maxime Nova, 34. A source described the pair as being “head over heels.” The source said Seacrest flew Nova by private jet to meet him on a luxury yacht in the Ionian Sea, and said their relationship had become serious quickly. The report contrasts with Seacrest’s joking response on the radio, which did not clarify his current status.

Past relationships and dating jokes

Seacrest and model Aubrey Paige split in April 2024 after three years together. Before that, he dated Julianne Hough from 2010 to 2013 and had an on-and-off relationship with model Shayna Taylor.

In March, Seacrest joked on “Wheel of Fortune” that he was lonely and suggested he might use Tinder to find love. Last month, he posted a shirtless Instagram photo showing his abs.
