Ryan Seacrest’s Dog Georgia Was Actually a Gift From ‘American Idol’ Creator Simon Fuller

You wanna show someone you love them? Buy them a dog!

Ryan Seacrest recently revealed that American Idol creator Simon Fuller gifted him with his gorgeous dog, Georgia.

In yesterday’s taping of Live with Kelly and Ryan, he shared that the gift was his “first step into daddyhood.”

“I was always over there,” he said of Simon’s house, which is full of dogs, adding that he was “never a dog person” and “never had a dog of my own” prior to Georgia.

“I was at Simon Fuller’s house … watching probably a rerun of American Idol. He kind of looked at me playing with the dogs with that weird look like, ‘Huh, you’re going to be a dad one day,'” he said.

“Then, a couple of weeks later, a knock on the door and a little tiny, black, beautiful, cute puppy Lab shows up,” he continued.

Apparently, Georgia came with a note from Simon, reading, “‘Dear Ryan, this is your first step into daddyhood. Love, Simon Fuller.'”

“I just thought that was the sweetest, nicest, kindest thing,” Ryan added. “So now, for life, Georgia is my partner.”

Um… how KA-YUTE is that?!
