LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Caption Ryan Seacrest arrives at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 11, 2009Ryan Seacrest is reportedly no longer a single man.

The “American Idol” host is dating Jasmine Waltz, an actress and bartender, according to a report in People.

Ryan took Jasmine, a pretty brunette who has had roles in Courteney Cox’s ill-fated series, “Dirt,” and film, “Cheerleader Massacre 2,” to Paris over the weekend, the mag reported.

But it appears Jasmine may have some competition of the cougar variety for Ryan’s affection.

On Tuesday night, veteran journalist Katie Couric appeared at a taping of “American Idol” and caught Ryan’s eye.

“She [was] checking you out the whole time,” Ryan’s fellow E! News co-worker Ken Baker told the host during a phone in for the “On Air With Ryan Seacrest” radio show on Wednesday. “[She was] looking [you] up and down in your black suit.”

And Ryan admitted he has a soft spot for one of America’s favorite faces.

“I wanna say this respectfully, but I wanna say this as a dude: Would I? I would,” he said of hooking up with the 52-year-old Katie. “I thought the same thing last night. I’m walking away and I thought, I would! I would… Is she single?”
