Key Points

  • Seacrest joked on Wheel of Fortune that he'll be on Tinder tonight to find romance.
  • He said he felt "so lonely" as the only single person on stage during the couples episode.
  • Split from model Aubrey Paige in 2024 after three years; they reportedly remain supportive friends.

RYAN Seacrest is keeping things light about his love life.

During a love-themed episode of “Wheel of Fortune,” the longtime TV host joked that he’s on Tinder and looking for romance.

Speaking with co-host Vanna White, Seacrest said he loved the episode’s romantic theme before quipping, “I’ll be on Tinder tonight, so I can find it.”

Later in the show, which featured couples competing, he also joked that he felt “so lonely” as the only single person on stage.

The comments come about two years after Seacrest’s breakup from model Aubrey Paige.

The pair ended their relationship in 2024 after three years together, with reports at the time saying the split was mutual and that they planned to remain supportive friends.

Seacrest has largely kept his dating life private, though he has previously spoken openly about love and marriage.

His latest on-air jokes suggest he’s open to finding a new connection — and having fun with the search in the meantime.

Why This Matters

Seacrest joking about Tinder matters because it humanizes a high-profile broadcaster, fuels fan interest and media coverage, and signals he's open to dating again—reminding audiences how celebrity romances shape pop culture and public narratives.
