The American Idol has been enjoying some downtime in Mexico with his blonde companion and other pals this past week, as he enjoys a break from his multiple presenting gigs – many of which have continued through the coronavirus pandemic.
Ryan was seen soaking up the sunshine laying on a sun lounger in a resort, as he was accompanied by his blonde pal.
The busy TV host was forced to deny rumors that he had suffered a stroke last month, after he was seen slurring his speech during the American Idol finale.

A rep for Ryan said afterwards: ‘Ryan did not have any kind of stroke last night.’Like many people right now, Ryan is adjusting to the new normal and finding work-home balance, with the added stress of having to put on live shows from home.’
‘Between Live with Kelly and Ryan, American Idol, On Air with Ryan Seacrest, and the Disney Family Singalong specials, he has been juggling three to four on-air jobs over the last few weeks and he’s in need of rest. So today he took a well-deserved day off.’

Meanwhile, last month, while hosting Live with Kelly and Ryan, the host wished his girlfriend a ‘happy third anniversary’ as it is the third time that they have been back together now.

The topic came up after his co-host Kelly Ripa mentioned that she and husband Mark Consuelos are celebrating their 24th anniversary, while it also marked the third year anniversary of Kelly and Ryan hosting the show together.
Kelly teased Ryan saying that it wasn’t really an anniversary, to which Ryan responded: ‘No, it’s an eight-year run, but it’s our third run together. So we celebrate each trial.’
Then Kelly joked further, adding: ‘You know, third time’s a charm!’

Ryan joked that the relationship was like a roller-coaster, explaining: ‘You know, when we drive by an amusement park, I always look at the roller coaster and go, ‘Look, there we are. It’s all definitely upside down loops. It’s no Thunder Mountain, it’s definitely the Mind Bender.’
The pair last called it quits in February last year, before getting back together in September.
They first met in March of 2013 through some mutual friends.
