TV personality Ryan Seacrest has opened up about his dating red flags, while admitting that he may soon open himself up to apps like Tinder in his quest to find love, two years after ending a yearslong romance with model Aubrey Paige.
Addressing his dating struggles in the latest episode of his podcast, “On Air With Ryan Seacrest,” the 51-year-old gave a short list of so-called “red flags” for any future love interests—noting that he is turned off by anyone who doesn’t greet another person while biking or running.
“When you’re out on a run or a walk or a bike ride, do you say hi to people that pass? If you don’t, I’m not so sure about you,” he joked, adding that he likes to take his dates out for a “little exercise” as a “test” to see how they interact with others.
As for his “green flags,” Seacrest called attention to another morning ritual—specifically his preferred beverage.
“I really look forward to getting up and having my coffee,” he explained. “I think if we can’t share that moment together, it’s a red flag. So, ‘I need coffee,’ is a green flag. Don’t have a lot, and please don’t put milks and stuff in it.”
The TV personality then said that he isn’t willing to compromise his morning routine for anyone, noting, “If we can’t share that moment together, it’s a red flag.”
He later said that he planned to “be on Tinder” later that night so he could begin his search for the ideal partner—although it’s unclear whether he’s had any luck.
Seacrest appears to be embracing a significant season of change in his personal life of late—having just relisted his sprawling Napa Valley estate for $19.8 million, marking the second time he has attempted to offload the pictuesque property.
He initially listed the home in April 2025—exactly 12 months after he split from Paige, whom he had dated for three years. Prior to Paige he dated chef Shayna Taylor from 2013 to 2020. He also previously had a relationship with dancer Julianne Hough.
Interestingly, his Napa Valley abode, which is located in St. Helena, CA, would likely serve as the ideal spot to woo a date—with Seacrest previously revealing that it is the place where he feels most able to “slow down and take it all in.”
“It’s such a peaceful spot, and the views out over the valley floor are unforgettable,” he said in a press release announcing the listing. “You can even see the hot air balloons drifting by in the distance. It’s the kind of place where you naturally want to slow down and take it all in.”
The home comes complete with five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and sprawls across 10,750 square feet.
The listing, which is held by Cyd Greer of Coldwell Banker Boker of the Valley, emphasizes the pool, guest house, cottage, and more.
“Originally built in 2004, the property underwent a significant remodel in 2023/2024, blending timeless elegance with a fresh, light-filled space tailored for today’s modern lifestyle,” the listing reads.
The property is the epitome of luxury and is surrounded by lush greenery that adds another layer of privacy to the already-remote setting.
Upon entering the home, guests are greeted with an expansive living area with a soaring wooden ceiling, a chic fireplace, and access to the outdoor area.
The dining area boasts an all-white aesthetic and with wooden beams on the ceiling.
“Built to exceptional standards, the home showcases chiseled limestone walls, reclaimed wood beams, seven fireplaces, and expansive pocketing doors seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living spaces. Outdoor living areas feature an infinity-edge pool and spa, a spacious central courtyard for large scale dining, inviting view terraces, a bocce court and a 220-tree Italian olive grove,” adds the listing.
Highlights of the main house include an inner courtyard for large-scale entertaining, a chef’s kitchen, and a spacious primary suite with an office and private terrace.
The layout also includes a library gallery, TV room, gym, laundry, garden room, storage room, and three-car garage.
Luxe details of the interior include reclaimed wood beams and wide-plank oak floors. Custom cabinetry, lighting, doors, and windows were all installed.
There are seven wood-burning fireplaces in the main house, including a kitchen fireplace with a rotisserie and a pizza oven. The living room has a dry bar and pocket doors to the side terrace.
Outside, mature trees and native plantings dot the landscape, which also sports an infinity pool and spa and a bocce court.
Seacrest added 220 fruiting Italian olive trees. The property is equipped with security and surveillance systems, built-in audio, a Lutron lighting system, and a whole-property backup generator.
The luxe bathrooms boast marble vanities, soaking tubs, and glass-enclosed showers.
“Located just minutes from Meadowood Resort and downtown Saint Helena, this Napa Valley estate promises a lifestyle of luxury, privacy, and sophistication, perfectly suited for those seeking the ultimate in resort-style living,” adds the listing.
Seacrest previously attempted to offload the home in 2024 for $22 million, however, took it off the market the followiing year.
