“I guess he really wanted to talk to me and one of his friends he was sitting with happened to know someone in my group so they were texting to see if I came with anyone in the group, because he was trying to figure out if I was with a guy,” Shayna revealed to Good Housekeeping.
“His friends come over and basically sit me in an interview chair and start asking me all these questions to be funny and he came over and took my hairband off my wrist as an intro point, like eighth grade,” she recalls. “It’s now this funny thing we laugh about when he takes my hairband, it’s like we reminisce.”
How long was she with Ryan Seacrest?
Shayna and Ryan have dated on and off since 2013.
A spokesperson for the Live with Kelly and Ryan host told the outlet: “Ryan and Shayna decided to end their romantic relationship amicably some time ago.

While hosting Live with Kelly and Ryan, he wished his girlfriend a “happy third anniversary,” as it is the third time that they have been back together now.
“I just want to say, happy third anniversary to Shayna,” Ryan said, explaining: “It is our third time together… so we’ve gotten together, broken up, gotten together, broken up.”

She regularly uploads healthy recipe ideas for her 139,000 Instagram followers.
The model also owns Bottle and Stone, an oil-based CBD remedy company.
Her love for wellness stems from her own health battles, as she has struggled with auto-immune, digestion, skin, stomach issues, and scoliosis.
She resides in New York City where she moved to be with Ryan.
Is Seacrest dating anyone now?
Ryan was pictured vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with a mystery woman. According to E! the pair were on a romantic trip together, Seacrest allegedly “didn’t have his phone or computer around and was very attentive and always having deep conversations with his new girl.”
Why did fans think Seacrest had a stroke?
Last month, Ryan revealed he was under-stress, as he was forced to deny rumors that he had suffered a stroke last month when fans noticed him slurring his speech during the American Idol finale.
Fans were left concerned for the host’s health after a segment saw the presenter slur his speech and appear unable to focus properly.
His right eye also appeared to be drooping.
During the remote broadcast, which saw Samantha “Just Sam” Diaz crowned the season’s winner from home, viewers took to social media to air their concerns.

One fan tweeted: “Is @RyanSeacrest okay? Not making light of this. He went from normal to his speech being off and his eye shutting halfway.”
Reps for the host released a statement which read: “Ryan did not have any kind of stroke last night.
“Like many people right now, Ryan is adjusting to the new normal and finding work-home balance, with the added stress of having to put on live shows from home.”
Speaking to People magazine, the rep added: “Between Live with Kelly and Ryan, American Idol, On Air with Ryan Seacrest, and the Disney Family Singalong specials, he has been juggling three to four on-air jobs over the last few weeks and he’s in need of rest.
“So today he took a well-deserved day off.”
