Is Ryan Seacrest gay or straight?
He is reportedly straight. However, the well-known American television personality has yet to confirm or contradict the widespread belief that he is gay. Then again, according to a sneak glimpse at his dating history, he has solely dated women.
Why do people say Ryan Secrest is gay?
Several reasons have raised this speculation for many reasons. Below are some of them.
Gay Jokes
Ryan's constant homosexual jokes on live television shows are one of the triggers to this thought. On one of the episodes of American Idol, Ryan had a banter of words on his sexuality with one of the show's judges, Simon Cowell, alongside Randy Jackson.

Simon Cowell disclosed that Ryan Seacrest's favourite song was Its Raining Men, and Randy Jackson also made similar jokes questioning Ryan's sexuality. On the other hand, Ryan stated that Cowell listened to YMCA at the Manhole.
Again, Cowell usually calls Seacrest "Sweetheart." In addition, on one of the episodes of American Idol in October 2014, Cowell suggested Seacrest should know whether a contestant's high heels were fashionable and even told Seacrest to "come out" of the closet.
He also failed to give a straight answer when he was asked if Ryan Seacrest was gay or not, and this raised many specks of dust and propelled thoughts on if Ryan was homosexual. But then, Ryan Seacrest claimed he was only joking with words and never meant to be a mean free-spirited person when he made gay jokes on American Idol.
Dressing and behaviour
He sometimes behaves in a feminine way and makes advances to men. During an episode on American Idol, he yanked a man from the audience to dance with him. He also made lustful comments about a known gay Adam Lambert.
Aside from this, Ryan has a high sense of fashion. He dresses well in a suit, but then, he has made some appearances on red carpets with female wear, and he appreciates women's clothing.
Speculations of Julianne Hough
On a live show, Ryan's ex-girlfriend Julianne Hough claimed she was 18 when Seacrest asked her out. However, she doubted him and declared openly on the show that she "thought Ryan Seacrest was gay." But then, it was false, and they began dating.
