Ryan Seacrest is a “phenomenal” boyfriend.

The ‘American Idol’ presenter’s girlfriend Julianne Hough has revealed the 35-year-old TV personality is a “romantic” partner who sometimes embarrasses her with his gestures of love.

She said: “He’s phenomenal. He’s really romantic. He’s not even in town and I got in my car and there are flowers everywhere.

“And for my birthday, same thing. Like, flowers everywhere. I was almost embarrassed. You walk in and you’re like, ‘Is this my room? I don’t even know.’ I’m kind of embarrassed,”

As well as praising Ryan as a phenomenal boyfriend, Julianne, 22, also admitted to enjoying spending time with his family and claims meeting one another’s parents was never an issue.

She told US TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: “Everyone’s like, ‘Oh, you met the folks!’ It’s like, I don’t know. Both of our folks are like our best friends, so when we hang out, it’s more like hanging out with friends.”

Earlier this year, Ryan asked Julianne to move in with him after just a few months of dating, and as a treat he filled a hotel room with flowers.

A source said: “He’s not afraid to take things to the next level. Everyone is shocked by how fast things are moving.

“Julianne is smitten with Ryan and loves his romantic ways, which included him recently paying for her entire hotel suite to be covered in orchids, pansies and roses.”
