Ryan is named in the media as “the most hard-working person in Hollywood”. He is busy with many various projects simultaneously, but that doesn’t prevent him from spending the time with his family members – his father, mother, and sister.
In one of his Instagram posts, Ryan wrote about his father, “This man taught him to understand the importance of high-quality tailored suit and many other things”. Gary Lee Seacrest is his son’s role model and his biggest fan.
Gary Lee Seacrest was a son of Henry Skeen, the U.S. Army general. He is an Alabama native. Gary dreamed to follow his father’s steps and become a military man. He attended Officer Candidate School and was going to West Berlin. Just before his trip to Germany, he visited a dance party with his old school friend Constance. The chemistry between them started immediately, and Gary proposed her, even though the Vietnam War was going on, and he could easily be sent there as a soldier.
Gary earned his living as a real estate lawyer. During many years he was married to the same woman – Constance, a mother of his kids.
They were sent to Germany for long two years, but after that returned to Alabama, GA, and settled there. Gary left the army and started the career of a real estate lawyer. They gave birth to two children, and one of them, Ryan, became an internationally famous TV host.

Born Constance Zullinger, she got acquainted with her future husband Gary in her childhood, because both were neighbors. She was a cheerleader at school, and Gary knew her rather well as a school star. In her youth, she worked as a wedding planner but left her job to devote all her free time to her husband and their kids. She considers herself a natural hostess.
