Shayna Taylor confirms relationship to Ryan Seacrest

LOS ANGELES, July 14 (UPI) -- Ryan Seacrest is officially dating model Shayna Taylor.

The 23-year-old blonde beauty confirmed her relationship to the American Idol host over the weekend as the two were spotted getting inside their cars at LAX. Asked by photographers what it was like to date Seacrest, Taylor responded "It's great!" while flashing a big smile.

Rumors that Seacrest was dating Taylor began in December 2013 nine months after he ended a two-year romance to dancer Julianne Hough. At the time it was reported that Seacrest was vacationing with Taylor and his parents in South America.
