“They plan to remain in each other’s lives as close friends and support each other’s efforts.”

A Seacrest representative confirmed the split.

Ryan and Aubrey went public with their relationship in May 2021 after the handsome couple was spotted at a party in the Hamptons on Memorial Day.

On Seacrest’s last day on Live! With Kelly and Ryan in April 2023, Aubrey posted a sweet note about his departure from the syndicated talk show on Instagram with three photos.

Two of the photos were of the couple playing golf and the other was of their heads close together with headphones on while on board what appears to be a helicopter.

“Ryan, I have never met a more inspiring man,” she wrote. “You make it seem so easy, but the truth is, there’s just no one like you. I am so very proud of you. Not only because of your work ethic, but also because of your caring heart and the genuine love you give to others.”

Paige continued, “I’m so excited about this next chapter of your life and our lives. May it be filled with total presence, joy and relaxation in every moment. The best has yet to come. Cheers. I love you honey.’

In December, breakup rumors swirled when Aubrey posted a photo of herself partying with her family minus Ryan.

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

He joked that his mother had “abandoned him.”

He previously dated wellness influencer Shayna Taylor, Hilary Cruz, Renée Hall, Julianne Hough, Jasmine Waltz, Teri Hatcher and Shana Wall.
