Ryan Seacrestisn’t a regular uncle, he’s a cool uncle.
Despite his busy schedule, the star still loves finding time to have a nice meal with his relatives.
“I have a very small family. It’s my sister and now my brother-in-law and my niece, my mom and my dad,” Seacrest, 47, says. “They were very instrumental and part of everything [this year]. My mom is always there and around when I need her. My dad worked hard, so I think I got that from him. We enjoy spending time together, and it’s always around a meal. My family just loves to put a long meal together.”

In fact, when asked what his last perfect day-off was, Seacrest details his birthday, which is on Christmas Eve. He spent the day with his family and his adorable 3-year-old niece Flora — and the two are thebest of friends.
“I was with my family, my little niece. I was teaching her how to eat anchovies,” theAmerican Idolhost says. “That was a highlight.”
“Then on Christmas Day, we woke up early and saw Santa delivered this Barbie Dreamhouse. It was incredible how Santa got this Barbie Dreamhouse in through the chimney and delivered it for her,” he says with a smile. “So to see that magic on her face, with the family, were two back-to-back, incredible days off.”
He later jokes, “Have you seen it? The Dreamhouse is pretty sick.”

Speaking to theWSJ. Magazinelast month, theLive with Kelly and Ryanco-host said he does think abouthaving children one day.
“I start thinking about blocking off certain times in my month or year or week to focus on my personal life,” he said. “I do want to have kids. But I haven’t even gone down that path, which is nuts at my age. I think in the last year, it’s become clear to me that yes, I do want to do that…. I want to be available and present.”
