Vanna White secretly marries her longtime love John Donaldson
Vanna White is married!
The "Wheel of Fortune" letter-turner announced she tied the knot with construction and development businessman John Donaldson in a private ceremony. The couple have been together for more than a decade after they started dating in 2012.
Vanna, 68, uploaded cute snaps of her special day with John, captioning her Instagram with,"Surprise! We got married! John and I have been in love for more than a decade, and a little while back, we wanted to make it official in a private ceremony. We’re excited to share this new joyful chapter in our lives with all of you! Love, Vanna and John."
Vanna met John in 2012 after a friend brought him along to one of her barbecues.
In October 2023, Vanna revealed why they had not gotten married after years of dating, explaining to People, "I mean, we've been together 12 years, and I feel like we are married. Do we have to get married? No, because we feel comfortable in our relationship. You know what I mean? I know that he's the one. He knows I'm the one. We don't really talk about it, but you never know. I mean, I guess we could, but in my eyes and his eyes, we are married."
Revealing the secret to their long-lasting relationship, Vanna said, "[John] is the male version of me. We really are very similar. We get along so well. He's easy. He's easy, and he lets me be me, and I let him be him."
The TV personality and John have both previously been married, with Vanna being with film producer George Santo Pietro from 1990 until they split in 2001.
Vanna and George - who finalized their divorce in 2002, citing irreconcilable differences - have two children together, Nicholas "Nikko" and 28-year-old daughter, tattoo artist Giovanna "Gigi”.
