Ryan Seacrest has revealed that the biggest red flags in his relationships often come down to simple manners and morning routines, admitting he even uses a secret “exercise test” to screen potential partners.
Speaking on his radio show On air with Ryan Seacrest51 years old wheel of fortune Star explained that she pays close attention to how a date interacts with the world when they go for a run or bike ride.
For Seacrest, not acknowledging a stranger’s “good morning” on a road is a major red flag, as he believes being polite to people he passes is a key trait he looks for in a partner.
Beyond basic social etiquette, the veteran broadcaster has some very specific requirements for how a couple should handle their mornings.
Consider it a big green flag if a couple drinks black coffee, and specifically request that they avoid “milks and stuff” in their drink.
Despite receiving some playful criticism from his co-hosts, Tanya Rad and Sisanie, Seacrest doubled down on his preference for a fellow black coffee drinker.
He also has no patience for discordant calls for attention, insisting that a “loud alarm” is a turnoff; Instead, he prefers a pleasant “bell” or sound to start the day.
Time is another area where Seacrest has a strict limit, as anyone interested in it must be able to prepare in under 27 minutes.
He was pretty precise about the number, noting that while 30 minutes is too long and 25 perhaps too short, 27 is the sweet spot for a green flag.
Having spent more than an hour waiting for her partners in the past, she wondered what people could be doing in front of a mirror for 90 minutes.
He joked that by the time some people are done, the “window” for the day’s activities has completely closed and it’s time for him to get back to work.
These dating insights come as Seacrest has been single for a while following his quiet split from model Aubrey Paige in April 2024, after three years together.
