Erica Lancellotti is Ryan Seacrest's Secret Girlfriend (Photos)

Erica Lancellotti

is off the market? Say it ain't so! First the news that Matthew McConaughey is going to be a dad, and now I find out Ryan Seacrest has a secret girlfriend named. Pretty soon ALL my future ex husbands will be off the market. What's a girl to do?

Oh, I almost forgot...this is not about me. It's about Erica Lancellotti. That's the girl who is supposedly American Idol host Ryan Seacrest's girlfriend. She's a bartender in NYC, and owns a company called BarCandy, which is apparently some big deal, and the premier bartending service in New York. Whatever.

Anyway, it seems Ryan and Erica were at Nello restaurant in NYC on December 29, and were looking very romantic, holding hands, drinking champagne and laughing over dinner.

According to reports, Erica told In Touch magazine:



“We have been dating on and off for a few years,” she confides. “We met at the Wetbar of the W hotel in New York and the only thing that has kept us apart has been his busy schedule.” Asked about her exact role in Ryan’s like, Erica responded, “What surprised me most was when we were at Nello and someone asked who I was, and he said I was his girlfriend.” How does Erica feel about her new title? “He’s a great guy and I love him.”

Yeah, whatever. I don't care. Really.
