During the sit-down, Kelly, 40, asked her guest what got her interested in the wine business since she did not drink growing up as a Mormon.

Julianne, 34, then revealed it was their mutual connection, Ryan, 48, who acquainted her with the drink.

“Well, when I was 21 [years old], I actually ended up dating your former host, Ryan [Seacrest],” she began, mentioning Ryan’s longtime gig on American Idol, which rose Kelly to fame after winning the singing competition show’s first season.

“And so we dated, and he’s very much into wine,” Julianne said to the host, who was shocked by the news.

The Footloose star further explained that Ryan owned several wineries around the globe.

“Oh yea, he’s got, I think, a winery in Napa and in Italy,” she revealed, leaving Kelly stunned.

“What? He has so many jobs,” the Because of You singer replied with a confused look on her face.

“Yes, that’s a total sidebar, but yes,” Julianne agreed before continuing her story.

She then gushed that she loved the “education” and learning about the different wines, as she didn’t associate the alcoholic beverage with “partying.”

“He [Ryan] taught me all the different – how to smell and taste and swirl the glass. It felt very cool,” the Utah native concluded.

THE BREAKUP

Julianne and Ryan dated from 2010 to 2013, at the time, citing their busy work schedules as a reason for their split.

The Dancing With the Stars pro hinted at her thoughts on the breakup in her Instagram Stories, saying she felt she did not “deserve” the luxuries of her previous high-profile relationship.

“I was on private planes and yachts and living in a very, very well-off house — pretty different from where I grew up.

“I had just [gotten] out of that relationship because I wanted to create that for myself. I kind of felt like I didn’t deserve it. I didn’t earn that.

“So now I need to go create that for myself.”

While Julianne has been private about her personal life, Ryan has had numerous other love interests and is currently dating 25-year-old Aubrey Paige.

CAREER MOVES

He recently made headlines for leaving his six-year run as co-host on Live with Kelly and Ryan.

Last Friday was Ryan’s final day hosting the talk show alongside his co-host, Kelly Ripa, 52, as her husband, Mark Consuelas, 52, has taken over.

As for Julianne, it was announced earlier this month that she’s replacing Tyra Banks, 49, as the host of DWTS.

The news came just a few days after Tyra blindsided the show’s executives with her exit.

In an Instagram post, the returning star wrote: “It is such an honor to be rejoining Dancing with the Stars as co-host.

“The show holds such a special place in my heart from the many years and different roles I have had the privilege of being a part of.

“The incredible team that brings the ballroom to life every night has been my family for the past 17 years.

“I am so excited to reunite with Alfonso, Carrie Ann, Bruno, Derek Hough, the unbelievably talented pros, and the amazing cast on the dance floor.”

“The energy is magnetic every time you step foot into the ballroom and I can’t wait to feel it again — and of course to share it all with the absolute best and most loyal fans — for another exciting season,” she added her statement, which was initially given to Variety.

Ryan has since moved on with his girlfriend, Audrey Paige
