Old flame for the new year Ryan? Seacrest takes ex-girlfriend Shayna Taylor shopping in Beverly Hills
Looks like 2016 is starting off on the right foot for Ryan Seacrest.
The radio DJ and television producer/personality, 42, was snapped shopping at Barneys New York in Beverly Hills, California with Shayna Taylor, a breathtaking model he was previously linked with in 2013 and 2014.
The former American Idol host and the statuesque stunner, who also works as a personal trainer, were snapped entering and leaving the swanky establishment on a chilly Southern California day Thursday, exiting with a bag in tow.

The mega-successful producer, whose credits include reality shows such as Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Shahs of Sunset, was casually dressed, wearing a stylish black jacket with an ash grey hood over a fossil-grey zip-up sweatshirt and a matching T-shirt. He rounded out the outfit with grey wash jeans, a grey baseball cap, black dress shoes and black sunglasses.
Taylor, a New Mexico-born beauty, looked amazing on the gloomy day, showing off her jaw-dropping figure in a dark green sweater with silver buttons along the arms; dark blue denim jeans and black trainers. The angel-faced model, who was once signed to the famed Wilhelmina agency, had her dark blonde locks pulled back in a bun.
Seacrest and Taylor, who boasts more than 40,000 Instagram followers, were previously seen stepping out for a romantic bike ride in the Los Angeles beach community of Venice last month.

The wealthy bachelor has previously been linked to actresses Teri Hatcher and Sophie Monk; and was involved for nearly three years with Dancing With The Stars beauty Julianne Hough, until the pair split in March of 2013.
Seacrest, who has hosted Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve the past ten years, addressed Mariah Carey's botched outing on the annual special on his radio show, On Air With Ryan Seacrest, Thursday. He kept diplomatic while defending Dick Clark Productions, who Carey blamed the catastrophic outing on, citing technical gaffes.
Seacrest said the organization is composed of professionals whose main goal that night was to make the All I Want For Christmas singer look good.

'I know this team of producers; I’ve known these guys for years,' Seacrest said. 'I knew Dick Clark very, very well.
'This is a team that wants to do everything they can to accommodate any artist. We are in the business of wanting people to look good and, believe me, tricky things, tough things can happen.'
He added that Carey, a veteran of the business for more than 25 years, was well-aware of the 'complicated' nature of the live, worldwide broadcast - and the risks involved.
'She knows what Times Square’s about,' he said. 'Imagine every single outlet, TV outlet, in the world is there, so there’s all kinds of technical things going on. It’s live television, and things happen on live TV, and, you know, if something goes wrong, it’s unfortunate for anybody.'
