February Split Shocks Fans

Back in February, Ryan and his girlfriend of nearly three years decided to part ways. This wasn't the first time they'd taken a break from each other. Their on-again, off-again relationship started back in 2013, with a breakup in 2014, a reunion, and then another split. The most recent breakup came as a shock to many, especially since the couple seemed like they were heading toward something serious.

Just last December, Ryan was gushing about how wonderful it was to be in love with Shayna. He told People magazine, "It was the first time we were together, and she said, 'I make these amazing gluten-free pancakes,' and I said, 'What?! Well, tell me everything!'" Ryan joked. "That's all it took for me to really fall for her." He added that it was all about the "food chemistry." At the time, Ryan had told the outlet, "We're very in sync. Moving to a new city together was fun because we were also having a new chapter together. Living together is easy."

Things can change quickly in Hollywood, and now it seems Ryan is ready to embrace the next chapter of his life. He's officially single and ready to see where the road takes him.
