There seem to be no kids on the horizon yet for Ryan himself, who is currently dating 26-year-old Shayna Taylor.

The Atlanta native and Shayna dated a few years ago before rekindling their romance in 2017.

‘I’ve never been engaged,’ he told Ripa back in May. ‘I love the idea of marriage because my parents have been married for 47 years. The truth is I don’t want to screw it up.’
