Ryan Seacrest Dating A Mexican Lady Following Shayna Taylor Split

Ryan Seacrest and Shayna Taylor have called it quits for the third time. The news came after photos of Seacrest vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with a Mexican lady made the rounds online earlier this month.

Ryan Seacrest confirmed the split in a statement on Monday, saying that he and Taylor remain good friends. “Ryan and Shayna decided to end their romantic relationship amicably some time ago,” the statement reads. “They remain good friends, each other’s biggest supporters and will always cherish their time together as a couple.”

Reports about their split came as a shock for fans, especially since the couple had just happily celebrated their anniversary in May. On “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” Seacrest even wished Taylor a happy third anniversary, explaining that their relationship was already on its “eight-year run, but it’s our third run together.”

“I just want to say, happy third anniversary to Shayna,” said Seacrest. “It is our third time together. So we’ve gotten together, broken up, gotten together, broken up. This is number three of being together. So we’re celebrating as well.”

Describing the rollercoaster ride that their relationship had been, he joked, “You know, when we drive by an amusement park, I always look at the rollercoaster and go, ‘Look, there we are.’”

While Seacrest and Taylor had been in an on and off relationship since 2013, sources claim that this time, their split is permanent. According to reports, the “American Idol” host has already moved on from Taylor and is now in a relationship with a Mexican woman.

Just a few weeks after they celebrated their anniversary in May, Seacrest was spotted on a romantic getaway in Mexico with his alleged new woman. “Ryan didn’t have his phone or computer around and was very attentive and always having deep conversations with his new girl,” a source revealed.

Seacrest is also reportedly due to move back to Los Angeles following a recent health scare.

It remains unknown what made Seacrest and Shayna Taylor decide to part ways for good. In February, however, a source close to Taylor revealed that the pair was no longer in sync. “Shayna wanted more out of the relationship,” said the source. “It felt like the natural next step for her. She was ready to get married but Ryan wasn’t there yet.”
