Ryan Seacrest is spinning the wheel — and swiping right.

During a recent episode of Wheel of Fortune, the host got candid about his love life. The episode, which featured "Love Is in the Air"-themed games, had loved-up couples competing for major prizes. He hinted at his relationship status during the episode, which might include a certain dating app.

On stage alongside Seacrest were recently married Lindsay and Tommy Benton, who are expecting a baby, along with longtime couple Yolanda and Curtis Townsend, who have been married for more than 40 years. The host noted at one point that he was the only unattached person on stage. “I am so lonely up here,” he joked.

Later in the episode, when the newlyweds won a grand total of $60,348 after the bonus round, Lindsay declared, “This is the best day of my life,” adding, “Besides the baby.” Seacrest chimed in, "Besides the wedding.”

Cohost Vanna White, who revealed in January that she and her longtime partner John Donaldson tied the knot, agreed. "What a lovable show!” she she gushed. “I know. I love 'Love Is in the Air.' I am so excited to watch all of these shows,” Seacrest said, mentioning the popular dating app. "And I’ll be on Tinder tonight, so I can find it."

"Love will be in the air next time," White added, "I promise."

Most recently, Seacrest dated model Aubrey Paige from 2021 to 2024. He also was in a relationship with Dancing With the Stars pro-turned-judge-turned-host Julianne Hough from 2010 until 2013. After they broke up, Seacrest was attached to chef Shayna Taylor until they called it quits in 2019.

In May 2017 while cohosting Live With Kelly and Ryan, Seacrest said that he he liked "the idea of marriage." “My parents [have] been married for 47 years, and so I have this thing,” he said at the time. “The truth is, I have this thing that I don’t want to screw it up and a lot of times, they get screwed up and so I figure, the longer I wait, the older I’ll be, the closer to death I am, so I can get it in, and not screw it up.”Seacrest added that he was "close" to popping the question at one point. “And I didn’t do it,” he said, “and it was the right move."
