“American Idol” host and radio personality Ryan Seacrest has fans intrigued by the latest update on his love life. In June, photos captured the 51-year-old with a mystery blonde enjoying a bite to eat in the South of France.
Since then, the woman has been identified as Dutch model Maxime Nova, and now, details are emerging about where their relationship stands.
Ryan Seacrest is ‘Getting Serious’ With Dutch Model Maxime Nova in Latest Relationship Update
GettyAccording to a recent update from a source for Page Six, Ryan Seacrest and Dutch model Maxime Nova are still going strong, with their whirlwind romance seemingly becoming more serious. The “American Idol” host is “head over heels” for Nova as their relationship continues to heat up.
“He is completely besotted with her. And she feels the same about him as well,” the source shared. “They are head over heels.”
The source added that, despite Seacrest’s jam-packed schedule, he and Nova are doing whatever they can to spend as much time together as possible. That may become even more challenging with “American Idol” officially confirmed to return to ABC for its milestone 25th season.
According to People, while the announcement did not confirm Seacrest’s return as host, his involvement would seem likely given that he has hosted the singing competition series since its inception and new seasons typically air at the beginning of the year.
Seacrest & Nova Were First Spotted Together on a Dinner Date in France in June
In late June, The U.S. Sun shared photos of Seacrest and Nova enjoying an intimate dinner date in the South of France. In the snapshots, the blonde beauty stunned in a black dress featuring cutouts along the back, while Seacrest opted for a more casual look in a button-down shirt with the top buttons left undone and a pair of sunglasses.
It’s not yet known how long the two have been seeing one another, with the outlet reporting that Nova is in her late 30s. As for her career, Nova is signed with top NYC model agency Genetics Model Management. Her portfolio showcases her work with major brands and appearances in high-end editorial shoots.
It’s also been reported that the Dutch model has an interesting dating history, having been spotted out with Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid’s father, 77-year-old Mohamed Hadid, in 2022.
Before his romance with Nova, Seacrest was in a serious three-year relationship with model Audrey Page, with the pair sharing a 23-year age gap. It wasn’t until Valentine’s Day 2024 that Seacrest shared a photo with Page on his Instagram.
“Happy #ValentinesDay @aubreypaige_, can’t wait to eat that cookie dough with you but first, @disneyparks churros,” he wrote alongside a carousel of photos of the two.
According to People, the couple called it quits in April 2024. “After three beautiful years together, Ryan and Aubrey have mutually decided to part ways,” a source close to the couple told the outlet. “They plan to stay in each other’s lives as good friends and support one another’s endeavors.”
