Ryan Seacrest joins Tinder following love-themed 'Wheel of Fortune' episode
The host confessed to using a dating app
Ryan Seacrest is still on the lookout for his match.
On a recent Wheel of Fortune episode, the 51-year-old host took charge of games themed "Love Is in the Air."
As newly marrieds Lindsay and Tommy Benton, expecting their first child, competed alongside Yolanda and Curtis Townsend, who have been married for 41 years, Seacrest noted his singularity on the stage.
“Standing here all by my lonesome,” he joked.
As the Bentons entered the bonus round, they led with $20,348 and a Wild Card. Solving the puzzle, their total rose to $60,348.
“This is one of the happiest days of my life,” Lindsay burst out. “Not counting the baby.” Seacrest chimed in, “Let’s not forget the wedding.”
Co-host Vanna White, who shared in January about her wedding to longtime partner John Donaldson, exclaimed: “What an adorable show!”
“Absolutely. I adore ‘Love Is In The Air.’ I can’t wait to watch all these episodes,” Seacrest said with enthusiasm and then teased, “And I’ll browse Tinder tonight to find someone special.”
“Next time, love will be in the air,” White replied, chuckling. “I assure you.”
Having never wed, Seacrest disclosed in a 2017 segment of Live with Kelly & Ryan that he likewise had “never been engaged.”
“I got very close but decided against it, and it was the right call,” he shared then. “But I’ve always loved the idea of marriage, especially as my parents have been together for 47 years, so it’s meaningful to me.”
“The longer I put it off, the older I get, the more I think I should do it before it’s too late,” he jested.
His most recent romance was with model Aubrey Paige Petcosky, which began sparking rumors in 2021.
The couple made their red carpet appearance together the following year but ended things in April 2024.
"Following three wonderful years, Ryan and Aubrey have chosen to go their separate ways," a source shared with PEOPLE. "They aim to stay connected as close friends and continue to support each other's pursuits."
Before Paige, Seacrest was involved in a high-profile romance with Dancing with the Stars’ Julianne Hough from 2010 to 2013, and later was linked to chef Shayna Taylor until their relationship ended in 2019.
