Things are getting serious for ‘American Idol’ host Ryan Seacrest and his new lady love Julianne Hough. So serious, in fact, that he’s gone and met the ballroom dancer’s parents!
Flying to Julianne’s native Nashville for her 27th birthday, Ryan (35) spent the weekend getting to know her closest friends and family. “He’s not afraid to take things to the next level,” confirms our source. “Everyone is shocked by how fast things are moving.”
And as if this wasn’t enough, Ryan showered Julianne with gifts throughout her birthday weekend. He paid for a romantic hotel suite and then covered the entire thing in orchids, pansies and roses! “There were rose petals in the jacuzzi, bouquets all over the floor, flowers on the coffee table and petals all over her bed,” adds our insider. “The gesture was beautiful and made Julianne’s heart melt.”
