Vanna White'S Big Surprise: 'Wheel Of Fortune' Star Ties The Knot After 14 Years!

Vanna White's Romantic Revelation

Vanna White, the iconic co-host of 'Wheel of Fortune,' has finally said 'I do' to her boyfriend of over a decade, John Donaldson. The 68-year-old TV star, known for her dazzling presence on the game show for more than 40 years, shared the exciting news on Instagram. "Surprise! We got married!" White exclaimed, accompanying her post with heartwarming photos of the ceremony.

In a private affair, the couple exchanged vows, capturing a moment that has been 14 years in the making. White wore a stunning white dress, while Donaldson, holding her close, looked equally thrilled. The post also offered glimpses into their enduring relationship, which White lovingly described as lasting "for more than a decade and a little while back."

“I mean, we’ve been together 12 years, and I feel like we are married,” White told People in 2023, highlighting their deep bond long before the official ceremony.

A Love Story Years in the Making

The couple first crossed paths in 2012, when White met Donaldson, a real estate developer, and immediately thought he was "cute." Their connection was instant, leading to a partnership that felt like marriage long before it was official. "He lets me be me, I let him be him. There is no drama," White shared, reflecting on the peaceful life they have built together.

Both Vanna White and John Donaldson have traveled the path of love before, each with past marriages. White's previous relationships include a tragic engagement in the 1980s to actor John Gibson, who passed away in a plane crash, and a marriage to restaurateur George Santo Pietro, with whom she shares two children.

Stepping into the Spotlight

This marriage marks a special moment for White, who has spent much of her career celebrating the victories of others on 'Wheel of Fortune.' It's a rare personal spotlight for the star, who continues to charm audiences alongside Ryan Seacrest on the game show.

As she looks ahead, White remains committed to her role on 'Wheel of Fortune,' having recently signed on to co-host through the 2025–26 season. "Today I am happy just the way things are," she once said, and now, with Donaldson by her side, that happiness seems to shine even brighter.
