Wheel of Fortune host Ryan Seacrest makes VERY candid relationship confession

Ryan Seacrest made a telling revelation about his attitude towards relationships following a string of headline-making romances.

During Tuesday night’s episode of Wheel of Fortune, the host and contestant Jill McDaniel enjoyed playful banter in between rounds and the topic of biggest fears came up.

McDaniel had explained that she loved to host ‘discussion dinners’ with her friend and revealed that one of the questions that would come up was ‘What is your biggest fear?’

Turning to co-host, Seacrest asked: ‘Vanna, what is your biggest fear?’

‘Oh, my biggest fear? Erm… spiders? Spiders is a big one,’ the 68-year-old replied. ‘How about you?’

The American Idol host, 50, then turned straight to the camera and stated: ‘Relationships.’

The candid confession immediately drew a reaction from McDaniel, who leaned over and gave Seacrest a fist bump.

The TV personality then stated: ‘We are each other’s people.’

Seacrest has famously never married after romances with the likes of Dancing With The Stars host Julianne Hough and model Shayna Taylor.

Seacrest was most recently linked to model Aubrey Paige, with the pair ending their three-year romance in April 2024.

The duo had gone public with their relationship in May 2021 after the good looking pair were spotted on Memorial Day at a party in the Hamptons.

By December 2023, breakup rumors about the couple swirled as Paige posted a pic of her celebrating with her family minus the TV host.

She also failed to post a birthday message to the New Year’s Rockin’ Eve host when he turned 49 on Christmas Eve.

Before that, he dated model Shayna Taylor from 2017 to 2020, and was most famously in a relationship with dancer Julianne Hough from 2010 to 2013.

He also dated model Sara Jean Underwood in a two-year on-and-off relationship, while he has also been linked to the likes of Jasmine Waltz, Teri Hatcher, Hilary Cruz, Renée Hall, and Shana Wall.

Back in 2017, Seacrest claimed that he loves the idea of marriage and told former Live with Kelly and Ryan co-host Kelly Ripa: ‘I love the idea [of getting married].

‘I know you’re going to ask me of marriage because my parents have been married for 47 years, and so I have this thing… 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 screw it up.’

Elsewhere in the WoF episode, McDaniel asked: ‘How would your mom describe you? How would your last boyfriend describe you?’

To which Ryan joked: ‘Well, I can’t answer that one but my mom would say very tall and strapping.’

The fun episode came as fans have been left in disbelief after Vanna White revealed that she only films the show for 34 days each year.

The beloved co-host – who is reportedly on a $10 million a year salary – made the surprising admission during an appearance on the Elvis Duran and the Morning Show last week.

After the show’s co-host Danielle Monaro revealed she had only recently discovered the show didn’t air live, White explained that filming took place on a tight schedule on set days.

‘We film about 34 days a year. That’s it,’ she told the stunned hosts. ‘But [we film] six shows a day.’

She then joked: ‘Come on. You could feel bad for me.’

Duren didn’t hold back as he responded: ‘I don’t feel sorry for you one bit. That sounds like a great job.’

Monaro noted that White’s tightly-packed filming schedule would involve a large number of outfit changes as she noted: ‘That’s six different dresses a day.’

The radio hosts then tried to confirm if that meant White got 331 days off per year, to which she replied: ‘Yeah, I guess so. I’ve never looked at it like that.’
