Ryan Seacrest’s Dancing Skills on Full Display
For over two decades, Ryan Seacrest has been a household name in the world of reality competition shows. Known for his iconic role as the host of American Idol, Ryan recently gave fans a glimpse into his lesser-known talent: dancing. On May 5, the 49-year-old shared a lively Instagram video of himself practicing choreography backstage, just ahead of Adele night on American Idol. In the clip, a producer guided Ryan through some simple moves, including an impressive body roll. His enthusiasm was undeniable as he clapped his hands and gave his all to nail each step.
A Backstage Moment That Stole the Spotlight
As Ryan danced with all his energy, he couldn't help but shout to a crew member backstage, "Phil, stop, you’re making me nervous!" The charm didn’t end there. Throughout the video, Ryan kept joking about how his moves felt like he was on Dancing With the Stars. It was clear that the host was enjoying every second of it, and his fans couldn’t get enough of the playful side of Ryan they rarely see.
Not surprisingly, his former flame and renowned dancer Derek Hough, who currently serves as a judge on Dancing With the Stars, chimed in with a lighthearted comment: "All those dance lessons from years ago are finally paying off my man!" Derek’s sister, Julianne Hough, with whom Ryan dated from 2010 to 2013, must be proud of his newfound confidence on the dance floor.

Fans Speculate About a Possible DWTS Appearance
With Ryan's playful remarks and Derek's supportive comment, fans began to wonder if the charismatic host might join the cast of Dancing With the Stars. When asked by Entertainment Tonight about the possibility, Ryan playfully responded, "I don’t know! Never say never after that, right?" He went on to explain that his dancing skills had been waiting in the wings for years. "It was time to break out the hips and show they can move a little bit," he added with a laugh.
While Ryan hasn’t made any official announcements, it’s worth noting that his schedule is already packed with his commitments to American Idol, his radio show, and his upcoming role as the host of season 42 of Wheel of Fortune. With Pat Sajak stepping down, Ryan faces the challenge of filling some pretty big shoes. However, his energy and charm might just be what the show needs to keep its momentum going.
Personal Life in the Spotlight
Amidst his professional endeavors, Ryan’s personal life has also been under scrutiny. Last month, it was revealed that Ryan and his girlfriend of three years, Aubrey Paige Petcosky, had parted ways. An insider shared with Closer that Ryan’s demanding schedule played a significant role in their decision to end the relationship. "Ryan’s so busy, and that didn’t help," the source explained. "His schedule left little time for Aubrey as it was, so they decided it was best to call it quits." Another source added that Ryan finds his greatest happiness in his work.
Ryan’s American Idol costars, including Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, and Katy Perry, were reportedly encouraging him to take the next step with Aubrey, despite their age difference. "They want him and Aubrey to start a family," a source told Closer before the breakup. Both Lionel and Luke had shared their experiences of fatherhood with Ryan, hoping to inspire him. During a live episode of American Idol, Katy Perry even playfully urged Ryan to take the leap, shouting, "Yes, it’s time!"
