Ryan Seacrest’s vacation mode was definitely activated.

The TV star, who last Thursday announced his departure from “Live with Kelly & Ryan” after six seasons, traveled down south to the Magic City with gal pal Audrey Paige.

The celebrity couple was seen a day after Seacrest broke the sad news, strolling around Bal Harbour Shops luxury mall, partaking in some high-end retail therapy.

The 25-year-old Austin-born model and the Atlanta native, 48, have been dating since 2021.

On Sunday, paps caught the two at the beach, taking a dip, relaxing on chaise lounges and applying much needed sunscreen. (We hope they got to partake in at least a few of the fab South Beach Wine & Food Festival events just down the road.)

On her Instagram, Paige later posted a snap of what appears to be their sleek, modern hotel room as well as a fun video of dolphins diving in their boat’s wake.

“One for the books,” said her caption.

By Monday, Seacrest was back at work, jetting across the country to Los Angeles for his longtime gig hosting “American Idol.”

Though we have yet to see any pics of his romantic getaway, he did show his 6.3 million followers a video of him checking in on the set.

“West Coast,” with “The Lion King’s” dramatic theme music playing in the background, “It is time.”
