Ryan Seacrest Sparks Worry Over His 'Gaunt' Look And Slimmer Frame In Viral 'Wheel Of Fortune' Clip

Ryan Seacrest has drawn attention online after a recent "Wheel of Fortune" clip began making the rounds on social media.

In the footage, the longtime host appeared to have a "gaunt" face and looked noticeably underweight in his mismatched suit. Some fans who came across the video immediately raised concerns about his appearance, with many claiming that the TV personality might be indulging in weight-loss drugs.

In the past, Ryan Seacrest has also faced criticism over his looks, but has yet to confirm if he is ill or using the popular weight loss drug ozempic.

In a January 23 clip shared on the official Wheel of Fortune Instagram page, Ryan Seacrest's co-host, Vanna White, announced her recent marriage to John Donaldson before a live audience.

What was intended as a celebratory moment, however, took an unexpected turn after the footage spread on X due to Seacrest's appearance in the footage.

Fans who watched the clip observed that the TV host appeared "gaunt," with noticeably hollow cheeks and skin that seemed tightly drawn across his face.

Seacrest also appeared slimmer in his mismatched suit, further fueling speculation that he may have lost a significant amount of weight since he last shared a workout post from the gym in November of last year.

As the video continued to circulate, some fans took to the comment section to voice concerns about Seacrest's appearance.

Several netizens went on to speculate that the TV host may be using the weight-loss drug Ozempic.

"Ryan Seacrest needs to lay off the ozempic!!! The face is a "tell" for those using it," a concerned netizen remarked.

"I think we may be looking at a new eating disorder. Ozempic Disorder," a second user noted.

Other users on X linked his appearance to possible health issues, though Seacrest has not disclosed whether he has been diagnosed with any illness.

"Something is not right with Ryan. I noticed New Year's Eve he looked sickly and off. I pray he is okay," an individual commented.

"Highly doubtful he's on Ozempic. He looks really sick. Maybe gastro-related? Praying everything is all right for Ryan," a second person wrote.

"He was already thin. This isn't likely 'ozempic face.' That would come with rapid weight loss," one more person suggested. "Maybe chemo? Some other medical treatment?"

In July last year, Seacrest also sparked concern about his appearance when he posted a carousel of pictures of himself on Instagram.

One of the pictures showed Seacrest in an all-beige outfit consisting of a shirt with rolled-up sleeves and free-flowing trousers.

He paired the look with dressy sneakers and a brown belt, ultimately giving off an informal yet classy vibe.

In the other pictures, Seacrest was seen posing with home-cooked meals, working out, and spending time in nature.

At the time, some fans commented on his frail appearance, with one noting that the American Idol host looked too skinny.

However, other netizens criticized the negative reactions, saying it was rude to comment on a person's body.

While Seacrest has dated a number of people in the past, his most recent was his relationship with the model Aubrey Paige. The duo dated for three years before splitting in April 2024.

"After three beautiful years together, Ryan and Aubrey have mutually decided to part ways," an insider said of the split, as reported by People Magazine.

The split also seemed amicable, as the insider noted that Seacrest and Paige "plan to stay in each other's lives as good friends and support one another's endeavors."

Later in 2024, Seacrest was spotted with luxury real estate professional Camille Orders in Rome.

At the time, rumors began to spread that he had moved on with her after his split with Paige.

Those rumors were denied by a close source to the TV host who spoke with US Weekly. According to the insider, Seacrest was still single, and he is not romantically involved with the Australian native.

"Ryan and Camille have been friends for over a decade and are currently traveling together with mutual friends," the source revealed.
