Ryan Seacrest and Aubrey Paige split after three-year romance

Ryan Seacrest and Aubrey Paige have decided to go their separate ways after three years of being together. The television host, aged 49, and the 27-year-old model have managed to conclude their relationship on friendly terms, a detail confirmed by representatives and reported by People magazine.

The couple, who first made their relationship public in May 2021 during a Memorial Day party in the Hamptons, have often been the subject of media attention. Throughout their time together, they have shared moments of their lives with the public, including significant professional milestones. For instance, when Seacrest stepped down from his role on “Live! With Kelly and Ryan” in April 2023, Paige posted a touching tribute to him on Instagram, celebrating his accomplishments and their time together.

A source revealed, “After three beautiful years together, Ryan and Aubrey have mutually decided to part ways.”  Alongside three photos—two of the couple golfing and another of them in a helicopter—Aubrey wrote, “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.”

“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 best is yet to come. Cheers. Love ya, babe.”

Despite the amicable nature of their breakup, signs that the relationship was winding down began to appear towards the end of the year. In December, speculation about their status grew after Paige celebrated the holidays with her family, noticeably without Seacrest. Additionally, her absence of a public birthday wish for Seacrest on his 49th birthday on Christmas Eve fueled rumors about the couple’s potential split.

The decision to end their romantic relationship, however, does not mark the end of their personal connection. Both Seacrest and Paige have expressed intentions to remain friends and continue supporting each other’s endeavors. This mutual support is indicative of the deep bond they developed over their three-year relationship, which, although romantic in nature, has fostered a lasting friendship.

Navigating a relationship in the spotlight can often be challenging due to the constant media scrutiny and public interest, which Seacrest and Paige experienced firsthand. Their relationship unfolded under the watchful eyes of the public, from their first appearances together to their supportive exchanges on social media. This public dimension adds a layer of complexity to any celebrity relationship, making the maintenance of privacy and personal boundaries a continual challenge.

As they move forward with their lives, both Seacrest and Paige are likely to continue making headlines, both for their professional achievements and personal lives. The end of their romantic relationship marks a new chapter for each of them, one where they will redefine their individual paths while maintaining a supportive friendship. The maturity with which they’ve handled their separation suggests that both have a deep respect for each other and a realistic understanding of their needs and aspirations, making this transition as smooth as possible for both parties involved.
