Right off the bat, red flags can make or break a relationship, andRyan Seacrest is getting candid about what works and what doesn’t when it comes to finding the right partner. The TV host got real on what red flags he avoids and what “specific” green flags he hopes to find.
The topic of relationship dealbreakers came up after Seacrest joked on Wheel of Fortunethat he was ready to turn to Tinder to look for love. On the latest episode of On Air With Ryan Seacrest, he revealed a few red flags that people either agree with or think the host is being too particular.
Seacrest has posted on Instagram about his active lifestyle and revealed that if someone who is on a walk, run, or bike ride doesn’t greet another person as they pass by, it’s a “red flag.” The red flag also includes if the person doesn’t wave back after someone greeted them first, with Seacrest admitting, “If you don’t, I’m not so sure about you.”
His next red flag has to do with his morning routine and something he isn’t willing to compromise on. The TV host enjoys getting up in the morning and having his preferred cup of coffee, and says that “If we can’t share that moment together, it’s a red flag.” In relation to coffee, a green flag for him is someone who prefers their coffee black, with adding dairy a major red flag.

The coffee red flag caused a stir in the recording room, as his cohosts Tanya Red and Sisanie left stunned by what he confessed. His last green flag when looking for a partner, which Sisanie called “so specific,” was if they could get ready in 27 minutes. Whether Seacrest’s relationship dos and don’ts are realistic, fans will have to wait and see. He does admit that despite making a joke about Tinder, he’s currently not on the dating platform.
The Wheel of Fortune host is currently single and ended his relationship with model Aubrey Paige in April 2024.
