Ryan Seacrest has come clean about whether or not he uses Tinder.
The Wheel of Fortune host joked about finding love on the app during a recent episode that featured couples.
Seacrest previously dated model Aubrey Paige, chef Shayna Taylor, and Dancing With the Stars host Julianne Hough.
If you think you see Ryan Seacrest on Tinder, swipe left! It’s not him.
The multihyphenate host revealed that despite his recent comment on Wheel of Fortune, Seacrest is not on the dating app. In a clip from On Air With Ryan Seacrest, he and cohosts Tanya Rad Yadegar and Sisanie Villaclara discussed how his joke during a love-themed episode of the game show spiraled into a media frenzy.
“Apparently you’re on Tinder,” Yadegar said to Seacrest at the start of the clip.
“No, I’m not on Tinder. Why is anybody — people keep asking if I’m on Tinder,” he replied, learning that speculation was “all over the internet.”
“Well, I’m not. I think I made a joke,” he clarified. Villaclara told him to “be careful” about what he says, “because someone ran with it.”
Villaclara and Yadegar then read headlines that spawned from his Tinder joke, calling him “lonely.”
“Ryan Seacrest admits he’s lonely as he interrupts Wheel of Fortune with Tinder update,” Yadegar said, reading one headline that came from his throwaway comment. “Well, I mean, that’s not what happened at all,” Seacrest protested as she listed a few more articles.
“Okay, fine. Got it. Well, I’m not on Tinder, but anyway, I said it jokingly,” he concluded.

Weeks prior, during a love-centric episode of Wheel of Fortune, participating couples ranged from newlyweds to folks married for decades. While the couples spun the wheel and participated in “Love Is in the Air”-themed games, Seacrest joked about his relationship status.
“I am so lonely up here,” he quipped, pointing out that he was the only single person on stage at one moment during the show.
Later, cohost Vanna White called Wheel of Fortune “a lovable show.”
“I know. I love ‘Love Is in the Air.’ I am so excited to watch all of these shows,” Seacrest said before mentioning the popular dating app. “I’ll be on Tinder tonight so I can find it.”
“Love will be in the air next time,” White, who married longtime partner John Donaldson in January, replied. “I promise.”
Seacrest previously dated model Aubrey Paige, chef Shayna Taylor, and Dancing With the Stars host Julianne Hough.
In 2017 while cohosting Live With Kelly and Ryan, Seacrest admitted that he liked “the idea of marriage.” He also revealed that he was “close” to proposing during a romantic relationship but didn’t. “And it was the right move,” he noted.
