After meeting through friends in 2013, Seacrest and Taylor soon began dating, and after an initial breakup in late 2014, they rekindled the romance.
“We had both matured,” Taylor told PEOPLE last fall.
“After three years together, Shayna wanted more out of the relationship,” an insider close to Taylor told PEOPLE in February. “It felt like the natural next step for her. She was ready to get married, but Ryan wasn’t there yet.”
