According to longtime girlfriend Julianne Hough, Ryan Seacrest is QUITE the ROMANTIC!

Apparently, the American Idol staple and DJ likes to go all out for Valentine’s Day.  Hough, 24, commented on his Vday conductat the Self magazine screening of her film Safe Haven:.

“[He likes] surprising me and ending up at a restaurant and having the place cleared out and rose petals and stuff like that.”  The gestures, she added, make her feel “so cute and special.”

“Every year is really wonderful. The first two years were super romantic and like, over the top, because it was new,” she said.

So, will Seacrest, 38, up the ante this year?

“This year I think it will be more understated, like [celebrating] real joy of what we truly have. I have no idea, but I know there are plans. He likes to do Valentine’s Day,” she said.

Geez, this dude loves Valentine’s Day, eh? When asked if there’d be a ring anytime soon, Hough replied “not yet.” YET? Maybe some other Vday, Miss Hough!
