Los Angeles, June 15 (IANS): Anchor-producer Ryan Seacrest has reportedly told his friends that he is loving his single status, even though he was seen partying in a nightclub here with a mystery woman.

The 38-year-old split from his girlfriend Julianne Hough in April after almost three years of dating her, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Seacrest was overheard telling his friends that he has been "loving it" since he became single. 

“He was with a blonde throughout the majority of the day. He asked to go into the DJ booth, and brought his new arm candy with him, mixing tracks for 30 minutes,” said the source.

Seacrest and Hough, 24, are believed to have gone splitsville because the TV star, who has a number of different projects, didn't want to get married and take their relationship to the next level. So, Hough called off the romance.

A source had previously said: “He just wouldn't propose. However, Ryan was this close to looking for rings. Julianne is the only girl Ryan has allowed himself to get serious with."
