During the interview, he was asked about his favorite romantic moment he’s witnessed during the celebration.
“I’m always tempted to propose on New Year’s Eve,” he joked.
Ryan then teased some romance scheduled for the show’s broadcast.
He did not, however, get down on one knee.
The American Idol host is rumored the be dating Australian real estate mogul Camille Orders.
They were first spotted together in Rome, out for a stroll with Ryan’s dog.

A proposal might have been a bright spot in Ryan’s year.
In December 2025, he posted a heartbreaking tribute to his late father as he celebrated his first Christmas without him.
He posted photos of his family at Christmas dinner, reflecting on past years celebrations.
“First Christmas without Dad, but holding him close in all the ways we can. We miss you. Merry Heavenly Christmas,” he wrote.
Ryan’s father died after a battle with cancer in October 2025.
