Ryan Seacrest Teases Potential New Romance in Cryptic Post: 'Dinner for Two'

Ryan Seacrest has fans wondering if there might be a special someone in his life after sharing a mysterious post featuring a romantic setting.

On Sunday, August 23, the Wheel of Fortune host, 51, took to Instagram with a carousel of photos that quickly caught his followers' attention.

“Dinner for two. Heavy on the pasta, wine not pictured, still working on my plating skills,” Seacrest wrote in the caption.

The first photo showed the radio personality smiling outdoors while holding what appeared to be a stack of cookbooks. Seacrest kept things casual in a cream-colored sleeveless top and matching pants as he posed in a sunny setting.

The rest of the photo dump gave fans a look at his cooking process. Eventually, the finished pasta dish appeared alongside a beautifully set table featuring dinnerware and flowers.

But there was one thing Seacrest left out: the identity of his dinner companion.

Naturally, fans immediately wanted answers.

“Who was your guest? Inquiring minds want to know lol,” one follower asked.

Another Instagram user got straight to the point, writing, “Ohhh who’s the lucky lady?!”

“Who with?” another person questioned.

Someone else admitted they were curious, asking, “And just who is this second person? Yes, I am nosy and curious.”

Another follower seemed to think the post could be hinting at something romantic, commenting, “Sounds serious,” alongside fire emojis and a heart.

Rita Ora also called Seacrest “gorgeous” alongside celebratory and heart emojis.

The post comes after Seacrest was photographed enjoying the sunshine and sea views in the south of France on June 22 with a mysterious blonde companion.

Shots obtained by OK! showed the TV personality dressed in casual summer clothes as he and the woman walked and relaxed near the water. Their easygoing outing quickly fueled more questions about Seacrest's relationship status.

Seacrest, who has had several high-profile relationships, has openly acknowledged that he has never been engaged. However, he has also admitted that he likes "the idea of marriage."

During a 2017 conversation with Kelly Ripa, Seacrest explained why he has been cautious about taking that step.

"My parents [have] been married for 47 years, and so I have this thing ... The truth is, I have this thing that I don't want to s---- it up, and a lot of times, they get s------ up, and so I figure, the longer I wait, the older I'll be, the closer to death I am, so I can get it in, and not s---- it up,” he said.

He continued, saying that he's gotten close, but "I didn't do it and it was the right move."

In November 2025, reports surfaced that Seacrest and his most recent alleged fling, Australian realtor Camille Orders, had split.

Before that, he was most publicly linked to model Aubrey Paige after the pair met in 2021.

Paige supported Seacrest throughout his career, including being there for his final day on Live with Kelly & Ryan in April 2023. She also shared a heartfelt message for him on Instagram.

"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...The best is yet to come. Cheers 🥂Love ya babe 💕," she wrote.

By April of the following year, reports confirmed that Seacrest and Paige had ended their relationship.

"After three beautiful years together, Ryan and Aubrey have mutually decided to part ways," a source told People. "They plan to stay in each other's lives as good friends and support one another's endeavors."
