"American Idol" host, Ryan Seacrest, is no stranger to the spotlight. In fact, the 45-year-old made his career on being in the spotlight as much as possible. So it’s no wonder the media is freaking out over a recent photo posted by his girlfriend, Shayna Taylor.
The 27-year-old chef shared a touching tribute to her “love” on Valentine’s Day.
"Happy Valentine’s Day my love. Safe to say it’s never a dull moment being with you. Thank you for growing with me on this crazy journey of life. To many more years of happiness, travel, food and all our favorite things. Love you beyond the moon,” she wrote.

As you can see from the picture, there’s no ring on Shayna’s finger. But her words make it clear these two don’t plan on breaking up (again).
Ryan has been vocal about wanting to be engaged one day. And even though his high-profile relationship with Julianne Hough didn’t work out, he’s still optimistic.
These two love birds haven’t had the easiest relationship. They’ve been on and off for years, but it looks they might FINALLY be ready to make things work for good.

Shayna Taylor is a chef and has made several appearances on “Live with Kelly and Ryan.” She graduated from culinary school and worked as a personal chef in Los Angeles. She even received a holistic nutrition certification.
Her passion for wellness and food prompted the creation of her website, “Shayna’s Kitchen.” The brand focuses on recipes, travel, wellness products, etc.
Beyond creating delicious food, Shayna is an entrepreneur and influencer. She’s also modeled in the past. But her main focus is on being an entrepreneur.

Ryan and Shayna met in 2013 when Ryan was 39 and Shayna was 21.
The two were dining at the same LA restaurant when Ryan went up to her table and struck up a conversation.
"I guess he really wanted to talk to me and one of his friends he was sitting with happened to know someone in my group so they were texting to see if I came with anyone in the group, because he was trying to figure out if I was with a guy," Shayna told GoodHousekeeping

Shayna even moved to New York City to be with Ryan, before they split up in February 2019. The break-up didn’t last long though (obviously).
They reportedly rekindled their relationship last year, and fans are crossing their fingers the two stay together this time!
When speaking about Shayna on "Live with Kelly and Ryan' in 2017, Ryan said: “We’re very in sync.”
Now, the only question is whether they’re in sync enough for Ryan to put a ring on it. Time will tell.
