Ryan Murphy‘s next project: a wedding!

The 45-year-old Glee co-creator recently got engaged, he announced Friday morning (June 17) on Ryan Seacrest‘s 102.7 KIIS-FM radio show.

“I’m with a great fellow now who I’ve known for 15 years, just got engaged and I’m very excited about it!” Ryan said without revealing his fiance’s name, though it is reportedly David Miller.

In addition to the hit Fox show, Ryan and Glee co-creator Brad Falchuk are working on the FX pilot American Horror Story.

Congrats to the happy couple!!!

Darren Criss, Heather Morris, and Chord Overstreet pose with Mayor Michael Bloomberg at a press conference outside the Gershwin Theater on Monday (April 25) in NYC.

The cast, joined by Glee co-creators Ryan Murphy, Ian Brennan, and Brad Falchuk, were officially welcomed to the city by Mayor Bloomberg while on break from filming their hit Fox show.

“Mayors don’t get a lot of time to watch television, so I don’t know much about this season’s plot but actually it would be great to see what happens with Finn and Rachel,” Michael joked, referring to Lea Michele and Cory Monteith‘s characters.

Cory, Mark Salling, Kevin McHale, and Harry Shum Jr. also attended the news conference.

Ryan Murphy‘s resume just got a bit longer – the Glee creator has signed on for the FX pilot American Horror Story!

The 45-year-old screenwriter, director, and producer will be teaming up with Glee co-creator Brad Falchuk, whom he worked with on FX’s Nip/Tuck, for the new drama set to begin production in April.

“American Horror Story is a project that Brad and I have been discussing for a while … FX is the perfect place for this series and we look forward to a great homecoming,” Ryan said in a statement.

“And as for Glee, fans can rest assured that we haven’t taken our eyes off that ball for a second,” he added. “We’ve broken the stories for the season’s remaining episodes and we’ve got big things planned for our little glee club as it strives to make it past Regionals to the all-important Nationals competition in New York City.”

ARE YOU EXCITED for Ryan and Brad’s new show?

Glee stars Chris Colfer, Matthew Morrison and Jane Lynch join creator Ryan Murphy and 20th Century Fox Television chairmen Gary Newman and Dana Walden on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter‘s current issue, on newsstands Thursday.

Ryan chatted about the business side of the hit show and dished on why fans will never hear songs from certain artists.

Here’s what he had to share with the mag:

On Eminem: “We went after ‘Lose Yourself,’ and it was jaw droppingly expensive. Around $200,000. We couldn’t
do it because the episode would’ve been so over budget.”

On Kings of Leon, who famously rejected Glee: “F— you, Kings of Leon. They’re self-centered a–holes, and they missed the big picture. They missed that a 7-year-old kid can see someone close to their age singing a Kings of Leon song, which will maybe make them want to join a glee club or pick up a musical instrument. It’s like, OK, hate on arts education. You can make fun of Glee all you want, but at its heart, what we really do is turn kids on to music.”

(FYI: KOL released this statement to THR: “This whole Glee thing is a shock to us. It’s gotten out of hand. At the time of the request, we hadn’t even see the show. It came at the end of that record cycle, and we were over promoting ['Use Somebody']. This was never meant as a slap in the face to Glee or to music education or to fans of the show. We’re not sure where the anger is coming from.”)

Ryan also shared he’s trying to write in Jennifer Lopez and Stevie Nicks for some future episodes!
