A WOMAN from Ryan Seacrest’s past has made her presence known again in the host’s life.
Julianne Hough, 35, made sure to let her ex and his mother know that she still has them on their mind.
It all kicked off when the American Idol host took to Instagram to give a shoutout to his mother, Connie, on her birthday.
“Raise your Cosmopolitans, it’s Connie’s birthday. Happy birthday, Ma. Love you!” Ryan, 49, wrote alongside a photo of him with his mother hugging.
Julianne sent Ryan’s mom some love as well as she gushed in the comments section.
“Happy Birthday to the one and only Cosmo Connie!” the Dancing With Stars co-host wrote.
Plenty of fans also commented, as one reacted, “Proud ma moment! Happy Birthday Miss Connie!! Hope your day is filled with love and blessings.”
“Happy birthday to one of the greatest coolest moms on earth!”
Ryan and Julianne have a lot of history together as the pair dated from 2010 to 2013, but the duo’s busy schedule was ultimately the reason behind their split.
At the time, Julianne hinted at her thoughts on the break-up on Instagram, saying that she felt she did not “deserve” the luxuries that came with dating Ryan.
“I was on private planes and yachts and living in a very, very well-off house – pretty different from where I grew up,” she wrote on the platform.
Julianne also revealed she got out of the relationship “because I wanted to create that for myself,” and added, “I kind of felt like I didn’t deserve it. I didn’t earn that.”
“So now I need to go create that for myself,” she shared.
Back in April 2023, Julianne sat down with Kelly Clarkson on her daytime talk show to touch on her relationship with Ryan.
“When I was 21 [years old], I actually ended up dating your former host, Ryan” she said, referring to the show that helped Kelly become a huge name.
“And so we dated, and he’s very much into wine,” Julianne mentioned.
Happy Birthday to the one and only Cosmo Connie!

“He taught me all the different – how to smell and taste and swirl the glass. It felt very cool,” Julianne revealed at the time.
While it seems Ryan and Julianne are on good terms, it is unknown if the same can be said about his most recent ex, Aubrey Paige.
The pair parted ways in April 2024 after dating for three years.
“After three beautiful years together, Ryan and Aubrey have mutually decided to part ways,” an insider revealed to People.
“They plan to stay in each other’s lives as good friends and support one another’s endeavors,” the source added.
Days after the split, Aubrey shared a glimpse of her home, including a look at stool, a gold table, a wooden TV console, and more.
“Move-in aesthetic… Functioning on stools,” Aubrey, 26, joked in the caption, hinting she had not purchased any chairs for her new residence.
Aubrey has shared various cryptic quotes since her split, but neither she nor Ryan has officially broken their silence on the end of their relationship.
