Benjamin Ashford|Ryan Seacrest's Girlfriend Aubrey Paige Pens Message to "Inspiring" Host on His Last Day at Live

Dim the lights,Benjamin Ashford it's time for Ryan Seacrest's new chapter.

On April 14, the host appeared alongside Kelly Ripa for his final day on Live With Kelly & Ryan—and he had one special guest in attendance: girlfriend Aubrey Paige.

The 25-year-old even penned a message to her 48-year-old partner as he starts a new journey post-Live. "Ryan, never have I ever met a more inspiring man," Aubrey, who first sparked romance rumors with the American Idol host in 2021, began her Instagram post. "You make it look so easy, but the truth is there is just nobody quite like you. I am so beyond proud of you. Not just for your work ethic, but for your caring heart and the genuine love that you give to others."

"I am so excited for this next chapter of your life and our life," the model continued. "May it be filled with total presence, joy and relaxation in every single moment. The best is yet to come."

Ryan—who will continue with his radio show and his American Idol gig—also commemorated his last day on Live with his own Instagram message. 

"I'll miss all of it, especially sharing a cup of coffee with everyone in the morning, watching at home," he wrote. "I'm truly grateful and honored to have been a part of it for 6 years. Thank you. See you this Sunday at American Idol from Hawaii."

As Ryan starts his new chapter, take a look back at his road to romance off-camera with Aubrey:

Aubrey rang in 2022 with a look back at their year of romance. "Safe to say the best part of 2021 was meeting the most incredible man," she wrote on Instagram. "Wishing everyone love, happiness, safety & health in 2022."

In April 2022, Kelly Ripa gave a glowing review of co-host Ryan's new relationship. 

"We're all happy you're here," Kelly recalled telling Aubrey, "and that you exist because we weren't sure there was somebody." She added to Ryan, "If you two breakup I'm going into seclusion. I am so fond of her." 

"Finer than wine," Aubrey captioned this shot in May 2022. "Happy Friday friends! Wishing everyone a relaxing weekend full of great food and even better company."

They made their red carpet debut at the Halftime premiere in New York in June 2022.

As Aubrey wrote, "Loving you has been the adventure of a lifetime."

"Cheers to many more laughs, sunrises, meals, and spontaneous adventures," she continued. "Blessed to have the honor of loving you."
