When Kelly Ripa blurted out the exciting news that Ryan Seacrest is set to host the reboot of American Idol, fans went wild. But amidst the buzz, one question keeps popping up: Is Ryan leaving Live With Kelly and Ryan for good?
On the surface, it might seem like everything’s hunky-dory, but behind the scenes, things aren’t as rosy as they appear. According to an insider speaking to Life & Style, the show is in shambles. Kelly reportedly feels betrayed, fearing she might lose Ryan just like she lost Michael Strahan back in 2016. That was a tough blow for Kelly—Michael left without even giving her a heads-up, leaving her heartbroken and needing time off to recover.

Ryan's Plan to Balance Both Shows
Kelly is understandably worried about history repeating itself, but sources suggest Ryan has a solid plan to juggle both gigs. He’ll host American Idol in LA on Sunday nights and then hop on a plane to be back in NYC for Live With Kelly and Ryan during the weekdays. While he’s usually involved in the nationwide auditions, this time around, he’s skipping that step to avoid conflicts with his morning show duties.
Kelly's Frustration
But let’s be real—Kelly isn’t thrilled about Ryan’s packed schedule. One source told Life & Style, “Kelly is truly furious. After all the negotiations ABC did with Ryan for Live, they turn around and buy the show that made him famous, pulling him away.” She thought Live would be Ryan’s primary focus, but now she’s questioning that assumption.

Will the Juggling Act Last?
While Ryan might think he can handle the back-and-forth now, it’s not a long-term solution. There’s a growing concern that he might get burned out, especially since he’s feeling a bit underwhelmed by his experience on Live With Kelly and Ryan. According to insiders, Ryan initially thought the gig would be a true partnership with Kelly, but he’s realized that Live is Kelly’s show through and through. The next few months are shaping up to be quite the drama-filled chapter!
