Aubrey Paige isn’t holding back her feelings toward critics after her recent breakup with her longtime boyfriend, Ryan Seacrest.
Following the news that she and Seacrest called it quits after three years together, Paige took to Instagram to speak out about those gossiping about her.
In the post, the model is seen standing in a pool sipping a glass of wine. A woman narrates, “I am fully aware of what y’all say about me. Number one, and I don’t give a f—.”
Paige captioned the post with, “S/O to my haters, this one’s for you.” Happy #winewednesday.”
Critics quickly took to the post to call out Paige. “Happy they broke up,” one troll wrote. “Way [too] young and [embarrassing] for Ryan.”
Another critic declared, “Ryan’s parents seem so conservative this must be embarrassing for them.”
Sources close to Ryan Seacrest and Aubrey Paige stated they had recently broken up. “After three beautiful years together, Ryan and Aubrey have mutually decided to part ways. They plan to stay in each other’s lives as good friends and support one another’s endeavors.”
Seacrest’s rep did confirm the American Idol host’s split from Paige.
Although the couple kept their relationship private for the majority of those three years, they did attend a few public events together. They have also been publicly supportive of each other over the years.
While Seacrest announced the end of his six-year run on Live! with Kelly Ripa, Paige appeared in the talk show’s audience alongside Seacrest’s parents and sister.
She later praised him by stating, “Ryan, never have I ever met a more inspiring man… You make it look so easy, but the truth is there is just nobody quite like you.”
“I am so beyond proud of you. Not just for your worth ethic, but for your caring heart and the genuine love that you give to others.”
Despite Ryan Seacrest Being Known For Dragging His Feet, He and Aubrey Paige Were Talking About Having Children
Days before the news broke about Ryan Seacrest and Aubrey Paige breaking up, sources had stated the couple was talking about taking the next step together.
“Ryan is notorious for dragging his feet when it comes to settling down,” an insider told Closer. “But he and Aubrey have definitely discussed having a baby. She would like a wedding first, which has been something Ryan had avoided all his adult life.”
The source then said the couple hadn’t made the official decision about which would come first – the wedding or a baby. “Time will tell,” they said. “But Ryan is turning 50 at the end of the year – he better hurry up.”
Ryan Seacrest and Aubrey Paige did announce a new addition to their home earlier this year. However, it wasn’t a human baby, but a furbaby! a golden lab named Olio. “Introducing our newest family member – Olio!” Ryan shared on Instagram.
