Vanna White, matchmaker extraordinaire?
The longtime Wheel of Fortune co-host, 68, is apparently on the hunt to find host Ryan Seacrest a new love interest.
“She finds it very hard to believe that he’s single still. He’s handsome, he’s sweet and thoughtful, not to mention totally loaded. It boggles her mind that he can’t seem to meet someone he wants to be with,” a source revealed to Closer Weekly.
“She’s convinced that Ryan is getting in his own way by picking women that aren’t right for him,” the insider added. “She says if he just trusts her and lets her set him up that she’ll be able to find him the perfect match.”
Seacrest, 50, has been hosting Wheel of Fortune since September 2024. The Georgia native took over after Pat Sajack departed from the role after a whopping 41 years. Seacrest has also been hosting American Idol since 2002.
Moreover, his podcast, On Air with Ryan Seacrest, has been going strong since 2021.
“Ryan works so much these days that he hardly has time to get out and meet people, and he says he’s not a fan of the online thing, so he actually does need some help,” the source explained. “And he adores Vanna and doesn’t think she’d steer him wrong, so he’s agreed to go along with this, as long as she shows him some pictures first; he’s not going to blindly agree to a date.”
Seacrest’s last public relationship was with Aubrey Paige Petcosky. The pair split in April 2024 after three years together.
“After three beautiful years together, Ryan and Aubrey have mutually decided to part ways,” an insider told People at the time of their breakup. “They plan to stay in each other’s lives as good friends and support one another’s endeavors.”
Before Petcosky, 27, Seacrest dated Sara Jean Underwood, Julianne Hough, and Shayna Taylor.
