From Ryan’s Sunday Profile on CBS:
“It is not my goal to be controversial. It it’s never been my strategy to be that person,” he told Smith. “So in a way, yeah. I get up every day thinking, ‘Let’s be vanilla.’ I have no issue with that.
“I don’t feel like I’ve gotta push a button today or I’ve gotta create a headline or be controversial. I have no problem being considered just ‘there,’ you know? You’re just there,” he laughed. “And letting the things, the moving parts around me, be in the spotlight.”
There IS a commitment Seacrest says he’s serious about: His girlfriend, actress and dancer Julianne Hough, who also rose to fame on a TV talent show, “Dancing With the Stars.” “She’s an amazing woman and someone that has completely made me a better person, has helped balance my life,” Seacrest said. “Because my life has been all work all the time. And I think for the first time, I’m actually saying to myself, ‘Wait. There are gonna be units of your week and units of your day that are devoted to a relationship and not just work.’”
“I actually am not bothered at all about being the butt of any jokes,” he said. “At all.”
