This American will be looking for a new “Idol”.

After three years of dating, Ryan Seacrest and model girlfriend Aubrey Paige have split.

“After three beautiful years together, Ryan and Aubrey have decided to separate by mutual consent,” a source close to the couple told People on Wednesday. “They plan to remain good friends throughout each other's lives and support each other's endeavors.”

A representative for the “American Idol” host confirmed the split to the outlet.

The two were first seen together in 2021 celebrating Memorial Day in the Hamptons, but they kept their relationship out of the public eye most of the time.

It wasn't until New Year's Eve that Paige, 26, shared a glimpse of her life with Seacrest, 49, on Instagram. She wrote: “Safe to say the best part of 2021 was meeting the most incredible man 🙏🙌🏼”

The pair made their red carpet debut a year later at the premiere of Jennifer Lopez's documentary “Halftime.”

When Seacrest ends his six-year tenure co-hosting “Live” with Kelly Ripa in 2023, Paige was in the audience with her parents and sister, Meredith.

She posted at the time: “Ryan, I have never met a more inspiring person… You make it look so easy, but the truth is there is no one like you. I am so proud of you. Not only For your work ethic, but also for your caring heart and the true love you give others.”

The two mixed business with pleasure in early April when Paige appeared on Seacrest's radio show “On Air” to promote her new business venture, Sippin' on Somethin'.

Seacrest previously dated Julianne Hough for three years from 2010 to 2013 and model Shayna Taylor from 2017 to 2020.

The breakup comes five months before Seacrest took over hosting duties of “Wheel of Fortune” from Pat Sajak.
