Does Ryan Seacrest have children?
Ryan Seacrest, 49, does not have any children yet.
The longtime American Idol host had confessed to wanting kids on numerous occasions.
In October 2020, while recording On Air with Ryan Seacrest, Ryan recalled his change of heart on the topic.
He said: “It was weird because you know Halloween changed me. I said a few weeks ago I’m not so into it and then I saw some of my friends’ kids get excited about it and then I see my niece.
“And she’s so beautiful and then I see you, [Sisanie], [with] twins, and I see how happy you are, and I would never in a million years — actually if you asked me when I was 40 a few years ago ‘Do you want kids?’ [I’d say] ‘I don’t know’ — and now, all of a sudden, all I can think about is, ‘Wow, how do I do that? I’m getting older.
Most recently, Seacrest’s thoughts on kids remain the same but he is in no rush.
On an episode of Live with Ryan and Kelly in August 2022, guest co-host Lisa Rinna asked about Ryan’s plan for children down the line.
Ryan shared: “I think having kids at the right time would be great. I have a fantastic family, a very small family. I have a niece, [my sister] Meredith has a daughter. My parents have been married 52 and a half years, so that’s a high bar. So that’s in my head.”
