Publish date: 2024-05-02

Before Ryan Seacrest became an entertainment renaissance man, Gary Seacrest and Connie Marie held average jobs. GH Base noted that Connie was a homemaker and took care of Ryan and his sister Meredith. As for Gary, he was a part of the United States Army before he eventually became a real estate lawyer. Because Gary was experienced with contracts, he even helped his son with his own entertainment contracts early in Ryan's career. Gary recalled to the Wall Street Journal, "We'd go through them paragraph by paragraph. I'd explain, 'This one's good for you; this one's not so good.'" Although Gary and Connie had typical jobs as Ryan began his career, that all changed as their son's fame grew.

Now, Gary and Connie work for Ryan's foundation, the Ryan Seacrest Foundation, which provides broadcast media studios within hospitals across the U.S. to encourage kids to explore entertainment careers. According to the foundation's website, Gary helped found and became the CEO of the company. Still dealing with the legal side, the website explains that Gary "oversees all legal matters for the foundation, where he uses his expertise to negotiate agreements with hospitals, vendors, corporations and more." Of course, we can't forget about Connie, who serves as the foundation's Vice President of Community Affairs and Hospital Relations. The website revealed that Connie often visits various studios to ensure "they receive the support they need and operate to their best potential."
