Ryan Seacrest had one special fan in particular supporting him on Oscars night: Girlfriend Aubrey Paige.
The model, who first sparked romance rumors with the Live With Kelly and Ryan host in 2021, posted an Instagram Story of herself in attendance at the Dolby Theater March 12 while watching his Top Gun: Maverick spoof as part of Live's annual After Oscar Show.
The 2023 Academy Awards could mark Ryan's last time participating in backstage hosting duties alongside Kelly Ripa, given his approaching Live exit.
In fact, Ryan, Kelly and Mark Consuelos have already figured out the logistics as for when Live With Kelly and Ryan will become Live With Kelly and Mark. That's because red carpet host Vanessa Hudgens revealed Ryan's last day will be April 14 at the 2023 Oscars.
"It's bittersweet," Ryan admitted. "We have such a great relationship, and friendship, and working relationship. And Mark is gonna take over and he and I have the same kind of relationship. So, it's gonna be an exciting last few weeks. A lot to come."
Kelly added, "Nothing will really change between the three of us, just Ryan will get to have his coffee later."
Mark also confirmed his official start day. "I'm so excited, I start the show April 17, which is a Monday," he shared. "I couldn't be more honored and excited."
The American Idol host announced his departure from the ABC daytime talk show in February. "Working alongside Kelly over the past six years has been a dream job and one of the highlights of my career," Ryan said in a statement. "She has been an amazing partner, friend and confidant. And although we will always be a part of each other's lives, I will miss our mornings together."
"I'll miss being next to Kelly every single day," he exclusively told E! News March 9. "We're extremely close, we're very good friends, we'll remain good friends. But there's that hour of communicating with somebody. You become super excited about doing it. You laugh, and then, of course, you can't remember what you said to each other. So I'll miss that part."
