During a March 11, 2025, episode of Wheel of Fortune, Seacrest admitted “relationships” are his “biggest fear.” That said, a few years earlier, he was not opposed to getting married one day.
“I love the idea [of getting married],” he insisted during a 2017 episode of Live With Kelly and Ryan. “I figure the longer I wait, the older I’ll be, the closer to death I am, so I can get it in and not [mess] it up.”
Seacrest added that he almost tied the knot with a previous partner but never followed through.
“I did get close and I didn’t do it and it was the right move,” he disclosed. “And my parents have been married for 47 years, and so I have this thing.”
