Hey there, friends. So, it sounds like Ryan Seacrest and Shayna Taylor still share a pretty solid connection, even though they're no longer an item. Love doesn’t always mean romance, and in this case, Ryan made it crystal clear that their bond remains strong when he announced Shayna would be joining him for the holidays. How cool is that?
Ryan Spills the Beans on Live With Kelly and Ryan
Let’s rewind to September 19, 2019, when Ryan, the charismatic 44-year-old TV personality, was holding down the fort on Live With Kelly and Ryan. His cohost, the fabulous Kelly Ripa, was out sick, leaving Ryan to handle things solo. During the show, the conversation turned to holiday planning, and Ryan’s sister, Meredith, couldn’t resist asking if Shayna, 27, would be joining them for dinner. Can you blame her? It’s the kind of question that sparks curiosity, right?
“The answer’s ‘yes,’” Ryan proudly revealed, earning a round of applause from the audience. “I really went for it. I had to know about your love life and what was going on,” Meredith playfully added, proving that sometimes family members are the ultimate truth-tellers. But hey, Ryan’s reaction was pure gold, keeping things light and fun, even on live television.

“Meredith, this is national television live,” Ryan joked, keeping things lighthearted. “That’ll be enough. That’ll be enough.” Sometimes, a little humor is the perfect way to diffuse a potentially awkward moment, and Ryan handled it like a pro.
The Split and Moving On
Earlier this year, Ryan and Shayna decided to part ways after three years of dating. But here’s the beautiful part: their split was amicable. Sources told People that the pair still hold a deep affection for one another. “They still love and care about each other,” the source shared. “It was an amicable split, and they’re still really close.” Now, that’s what I call maturity in action.
And while Ryan’s ready to dive back into the dating pool, his respect and care for Shayna remain evident. During an episode of the ABC daytime talk show, Ryan joked about being available for his next screen test. “Next screen test, I’m unmarried, I’m available… if you’ve got any good casting,” he said, referencing how his cohost, Kelly Ripa, met her husband, Mark Consuelos, through an All My Children producer. Talk about keeping things fun and lighthearted!
