“I do want to say, you’re a brother to me, you’re a family member to me. I’ve become so close with both of you,” Seacrest told Consuelos, 51.
“The three of us sat — before I moved out here — and had real conversations about doing this for a few years. It ended up being longer than I thought, and I couldn’t be happier to see you come in and be next to your wife, who we both know is the most amazing human being on the planet.”
Consuelos echoed the sentiment, saying that he was glad the “American Idol” host had become a part of the family.
“I couldn’t think of a better person to sit next to my wife for the past six years,” gushed Consuelos. “You’re a true friend. You’re a brother. You’re generous to my wife, to my whole family. I got to meet your family. I love your parents, your niece, your sister, your brother-in-law.”
The Strain of Triple Duty: A Hidden Health and Wellness Battle. According to an insider at the show, no one was surprised at the host’s departure. The insider revealed that Seacrest was feeling the strain of pulling triple duty between his radio show, “Idol,” and the talk show—a demanding schedule that experts warn can significantly increase the risk of stress-related illnesses, cardiovascular health issues, and chronic fatigue, which often lead to costly medical bills and require comprehensive private health insurance for proper management.
