Where is Ryan Devlin now?
When reality dating experiment Are You the One? premiered on MTV in 2014, actor Ryan Devlin was tapped to host. He remained the presenter for the first five seasons until actor Terrence J replaced him in season 6.
Following his exit from the show in 2017, Devlin appeared in episodes of Olive Forever (2018), the sitcom Another Period (2018), and the supernatural crime drama iZombie (2019). The actor has since stepped away from television, last appearing in a 2019 episode of the mystery drama show Veronica Mars.
He spends his free time rock climbing and growing This Bar, his snack bar company he co-founded in 2015. The company aims to end severe acute malnutrition. It’s unclear why Devlin left Are You the One? as he seemingly hasn’t addressed his exit.
Terrence J offered little insight when speaking to International Business Times before the season 6 premiere. He explained he landed the position due to his “overall deal” with VH1 and MTV and didn’t ask Devlin for a “blessing” to take the gig.
Regardless of the reason for his departure, the former host doesn’t appear to hold a grudge. In 2020, he posted several behind-the-scenes pictures with the cast and crew on Instagram when the reality show started trending on Netflix.
