Early Life
Ryan John Seacrest was born on December 24, 1974 in Atlanta, Georgia. He was raised in Dunwoody, Georgia. Ryan used to like hamming it up with a toy microphone when he was a kid. When he was a youngster attending Dunwoody High School, he interned at radio station WSTR-FM (Star 64). When the DJ called in sick, Seacrest had his first chance to be on the radio. Seacrest performed so well that the station assigned him to the weekend overnight shift. He graduated from high school in 1992 and went on to study journalism at the University of Georgia. He dropped out after his freshman year and relocated to Hollywood to pursue a career in radio.
Career
Seacrest moved to Los Angeles in 1993 and got his first major break that year, hosting ESPN’s “Radical Outdoor Challenge.” He hosted “Gladiators 2000,” the youngsters’ version of “American Gladiators,” from 1994 to 1996. He hosted “Wild Animal Games” in 1995 and “Click” in 1997. During this time, he also appeared on “The Final Proof” episode of “Beverly Hills, 90210” as the hose of a fictional game show called “Lover’s Lane.” Seacrest hosted “NBC Saturday Night Movie” in the second half of 2000. Seacrest hosted the practical prank show “Ultimate Revenge” from 2001 to 2003.
In 2002, Seacrest was invited to host “American Idol,” a new competition-style reality show on Fox. We can all guess what occurred next. Ryan Seacrest rose to fame as the host of “American Idol.” Seacrest hosted “American Idol” until the show’s last season on Fox in April 2016.

Seacrest has been the executive producer and co-host of “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” since 2005. Clark had recently suffered a stroke the previous year, and Seacrest took over much of the New Year’s Eve hosting duties. The yearly show was then dubbed “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockn’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest” by ABC in 2009. Seacrest extended his contract with the show in 2013. Seacrest hosted the New Year’s Eve special for the 15th time in 2019.

Personal Life

Since 2013, Seacrest has been in an on-again, off-again relationship with model and personal chef Shayna Taylor. They met through mutual friends. They briefly split in 2014, moved in together in May 2017, and split again in February 2019. By September 2019, Seacrest and Taylor had reconciled. On June 29, 2020, it was revealed that the couple had split for the third time and that Ryan had moved on with someone new with whom he was vacationing in Mexico.
Taylor turned to Instagram following the breakup to post: “You’ll never have to persuade the right person to love you. You can’t alter them, make them do the effort, or get them to commit to you if they’re not willing to show up. Change must come from inside, and actions always speak louder than words.” She was reportedly ready to marry, although Seacrest, 45, was not.
Following the death of Regis Phibin, Seacrest and Kelly Ripa paid respect to him in July 2020.
