Ryan Seacrest misses his other half.
Two years after the American Idol host left his cohost chair on Live! with Kelly Ripa—after which her husband Mark Conseulos took over—Ryan reflected on the previous life chapter.
“I love that show,” Ryan exclusively told E! News during American Idol’s Top 14 broadcast April 28. “I had a blast doing it. Kelly and I are still the closest friends, Mark too.”
Of course, Ryan isn’t against revisiting his past.
“Mark and Kelly have invited me to come on in a couple weeks,” the 50-year-old gushed. “So, I will be there. The trifecta, we’ll be on the set. I can’t wait to see them.” (For more from Ryan and the rest of the American Idol cast, tune into E! News tonight, April 29, at 11 p.m.)
Shortly after he left his role on Live!—which he held for six years—the Wheel of Fortune host admitted that leaving Kelly was the hardest part of his departure.
